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!


Regards,
Justin

  well the reason that the guitar is sounding as if its in the centre again 
when u hav both tracks panned left and right is because u are playing the same 
wave in both channels, when u pann something to the centre u are vertually 
doing the same thing by playing the same thing in both channels
  thers a few things u can do here. u could put a stereo chorus efect on a 
track that would delay the wave by a few milli seconds .
  another way is to simply record the same guitar and the same part again to 
another track and pan it. this is what i usually do as find chorusing to b too 
computerised and i think it sounds better and more human if  theres actually 
the 2 parts

    All,

    Can someone please give me a mixing tip here? 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
