I'm trying to get a good comercial power-guitar tone, i use the Double Tracking tecnique
i think that one of my problems is phase betewn the 2 tracks, i have the sensaction that the guitar is dancing sometimes to left some times to right, other is that the distorction is not "crunchy"
here is my samples, 32 bits, wav format with distorction and without
i use amplitube metal for distorction and i use 3 traks 2 pand hard left and right other on the center just with a litle EQ to cut the low and rise the hi, please lisening and say somenthing, i'm new in this, its hard for me to get compression right in the powe guitar,a have no problens with compression on drums piano and bass but on guitar i simple cant do it right, my compressor is a vst oxford dinamics

Hi Manuel, Please post into only one forum only, dont post into two forums like you have.
Also, consider using dropbox and dont use megaupload.

Now to answer your question :

Double tracking normally involves 2 performances not 3. Pan one performance 100% left and one performance 100% right.
The third performance is probably causing your phasing issues.
Also, don't worry about the guitar dancing sometimes left and sometimes right because that is how it should sound, the small timing errors help to create a larger sound.
