I work with another musician who told me about a trick he uses mixing guitar. According to him this is a well known trick, but I had never heard of it. I tried it tonight and was floored by the results.
I usually record multiple times when recording a rythm track.
But my buddy told me he will record a single guitar track. Assign it to two seperate tracks, panned hard left and hard right.
Then he goes ahead and will offset the time of one of the tracks. He didn't say by how much but that it was measure in milliseconds.
I tried it tonight, taking a single guitar track, panning it left and right, then moving the start time of the right track by 15 milliseconds.
The results were outstanding.
Do any of you guys do this as well?
Is this a common technique that I just missed from living under a rock?
Anybody got some insight they would like to share on this technique or others I might benefit from?
Thanks
