Dual guitar technique...

So last night I started tracking three new songs for the band I used to be in (kinda odd at first).

I used a 57'ish on the cab and my K2 about 3-4' back. By 57'ish I mean my EV Cobalt CO4, they cost around $60 and are great for many applications like a 57.

First off, CM=close mic'd using CO4, RM=room mic using K2. G1=Guitar 1 and G2=Guitar 2.

So I panned the CM's 50/50 and then did the same with the RM's. The end result was very very cool. The RM's provide a natural reverb using the room and the distance to the amp, it has very nice air to it and although occupies space on the other side, it does not crowd the CM of the other guitarist.

I had never quite done it this way (I would usually stereo both the CM and RM and mix to taste) and was quite pleased with the full sounding result. Food for thought, may wanna try it.

100L<----G1CM/G2RM----0----G2CM/G1RM---->100R

I am finishing up some stuff tonight and will post up the song so you can hear the madness of which I speak.

Hope that made sense to someone other than myself.

p.s. Sorry if you get e-mails of all my edits DB and Noize, it's your own damn fault for using that feature :)

Heck yeah, I did this with a acoustic gtr and a mando. some of each other in both sides. Came out very nice.

I also had 2 signals each, direct and a SDC. It worked out great.
