How to Get TIGHT Guitars

[cavehonson]

Most times when you double track you want there to be unnoticeable delays between the right and left guitars (even unnoticed they need to be there), because it will make it sound very wide and it will also leave some room in the middle for leads, bass, drums, vocals, etc

[MOSMASTERING]

The removal of unnecessary noise applies to many elements of a track. Gated drums, spill from microphones, vocal edits - including removing or attenuating breath sounds.. sometimes you might want some ambience, but reducing buildup of unnecessary junk is a great way to gain a couple extra clean mix points.

I agree with you and I love what you did with this. I think it's okay to do what you did because it brings out the tightness of the guitar and adds a new layer of style to the song which is good. Keep up the great work :)

Why not use a noise gate instead of cutting out the line noise..? Saves work right?🙂

[oceanlovesmusic]

this is exactly what I was looking for. thanks a bunch! I like your channel!

[realraven]

Really depends on the use case. Here it works well. However would it sound wider if there were tiny delays between left and right. Say you push the right travk back a few ms?

[micahmathias]

Couldn’t you have just used flex time slicing to line it up, by just clicking 1/8 note quantize?

[meody]

smart tempo and control X is a lot faster. also those fades gets rid of the punch

[MatthewSanders-xi]

Is there a way to do this faster? As in, can it detect the transients, auto slice and move them? Not Flex Time.

People can criticize as much as they want, but I think it sounds great.

[chocomalk]

I have to both agree and disagree with this. Although it's overall good practice, sometimes a musical feel depends on note placement and some effects precede or come just after the beat.
Sometimes you just slightly preempt the down beat, like a cinematic woosh, a zzz-pow into the downbeat. Or the opposite, just after the beat, like a kaboom.
If you quantize these feels, you will likely kill the groove so its good to know if and when it occurs.

[liamappendino]

Why didn’t you use the flex function? (When putting the guitar tu the grid)

[cspcreative]

Why not use flex time and quantise to the grid?

[myriaddsystems]

I think you're forgetting the "groove" or swing element

[mariamalova]

On the clicking sound in between the cut, is it the fade in fade out the only way to do it? Is there other way? Is there a declicker or something? Thank you

[memeswillneverdie]

I’m guessing you’ve never heard of time warping and I can hear those fade ins, your getting rid of the transients thus working against all that painstaking editing.

[jpeterso]

If you want to sound tight, teach people to play tight, just in the act of teaching you may learn something yourself.

[point-blnk]

No one is saying that this isn't the norm. Just because it's common practice that doesn't make it 100% right. Heavy editing kills the uniqueness of the human factor.

[HaharuRecords]

imo, the uncut version of guitar sounds better. The final track sounds clean but lifeless

😂 just tell them to practice with their metronome more.
