you can record through a stereo channel and it be the same as a mono source. What this means is the right is the same as the left. To make a true stereo the right needs to be different than the left. delayed.

Another good option is to mic a cab. Use 2 different mics positioned in front of 2 different speakers on your cab and run those mics into a mixer then to the interface. Youll end up with a single full/fat track built with 2 layers. Swap amps or cabs or change EQ and play a variation of the track doing the same thing. Its similar to what hes doing except youll only be dealing with 2 rhythm tracks in your final mix as opposed to 4 and only need to record twice (hopefully). Just another method or option.

I don't have a decent computer with DAW/ recording software, microphones, or really anything like that to record my own music, simply because I can't afford it. Though I recently got myself a Boss DD7 which has a loop function in it, and I've been really enjoying making loops on there and layering guitars on top of eachother each with a different tone to make a massive guitar sound. It's really fun, and I wish I could afford a decent computer with all the bits to record my own music!

Love you music Leo, outstanding. What are your thought of being pre-, on and after the beat when recording guitars? My personal experience is that most of us guitarists are naturally somewhat pre beat when recording, especially new stuff.Then some producer (not when I'm recording at home XD) comes and quantize everything to be on spot like a machine, . But as in recording bass in some genres, being after the beat can make a song get that hang, really swing and groove. Thoughts?

It won’t sound as heavy. Neck pickups usually have more rhythmic thicker sounds. They also don’t produce as much gain and saturation when it comes to treble and mids.

I agree with what Paul C says. Make one recording of a lead part (solo) and put it in the middle. But you can also make two recordings of it, with slight variations / improvisations, and pan them left/right. That can make the lead part sound amazing. I think Dimebag did that sometimes

I am not a professional audio engineer, but I have double tracked my solos. They sound better, but you have to be super tight and precise, otherwise it's just a mess. Also, for rhythm parts you can use less gain and be super tight as well. Less gain but more tracks gives a better sound in my opinion.

Here, the recordist said to record the same guitar track again and pan left and right but i really wanted to do is same like Alex hutchings trio, where there is one guitar, keyboard, bass and drums. So, is it really needed that we should record two guitars same and pan left and right or can we just copy and paste the same file and pan l/R? But, i really want to do is use only one guitar, so is it possible?
