Hi Matthew Thanks much for the input. So you are suggesting to simply record the entire song again playing rhythm so some of the differences are picked up. Will that be enough to make the stereo field sound more stereo? thanks!

I have my drum track down and have initially recorded a mono audio guitar track. It is rhythm guitar. I then copy/pasted that mono track into a new audio track. Lastly I panned the one mono guitar rhythm track hard left and the other mono rhythm guitar track hard right. However, because the guitar tracks/rhythm are identical, it doesn't even sound like it is in stereo. It actually still sounds like it is in mono when I listen to it even though the tracks are panned hard left/right. My question is... how can I get the guitar rhythms, while they are the same, to somehow be heard as slightly different to make this sound more like it is stereo rather than still mono? Any tyips greatly appreciated. thanks! Regards, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
