The middle I usually just add a little bright to it and try to leave it from standing out too much in the mix. So if the left is brighter I'll make the right a little less bright but beefier. Then I do the right and adjust it a slightly different. Make sure the master track is in stereo then I do each guitar track, Left first I adjust the Louder plugin til the left side stands out just a bit, then adjust the brighter til I can hear just a little more detail (picking, finger sliding etc) then adjust the phatter if it needs a little more bottom end/beef to it.

Literally going thru every knob and moving back n forth a little to adjust by ear. Then I use the SSL E Channel to make it pop where needed. I usually start with the drums, first tweak the snare, high hat and bass drum levels to taste in the drum software. Then I like to fine tune everything with the Waves OneKnob 'Brighter', 'Phatter' and 'Louder' and Waves SSL E-Channel plugins. Take it off mono and see how everything sits and adjust if needed While still in mono I take of solo and have all the tracks playing and adjust the guitars track without touching the sub guitar tracks til it sounds good with my bass and drums. I switch the master track to mono, solo the guitar tracks only, then drop the middle guitar track down for the time being, pan then balance the left and right to matching levels, then slowly bring up the middle track til it fills in the sound without over powering the left and right track. Then I Add a track and call it guitars and drag all 3 guitar tracks under it as sub directory tracks, this is just to make it quicker for balancing levels. Then I solo the drums and bass tracks and balance their levels til sounds good That plugin rocks for simple piano thrash bass sound It just auto levels it for me and then I add CLA bass and just mess with it a little. If I have time I'll turn on my Roland kit and just play along like with this track.įor Bass I plug straight in to the interfaceįirst thing I usually do is add the bass rider plugin to the bass track. To make them sound fuller I use a different IR for each track or for the Nameless suite I change the mic and move it a little per track.įor drums I use Addictive drums 2 and lately been using midi packs I got cheap from Ugritones. Here is a step by step how I normally record:įor guitars I like to record 3 tracks - Left pan 78% ish - Middle - Right pan 78% ish. Click to expand.Thanks Spiderwars! I recently picked up some Adams t5v monitors for Christmas and that has made a drastic improvement for me on fine tuning/mixing.
