Just looking for some tips on mixing rhythm guitars, any tips or tricks you guys use?
I use an Axe FX Ultra for guitar tones so the quality is definitely there, but I just have such a hard time getting like that "airy" feeling in the guitars you know? They just sound almost too direct, though I know I am recording direct so it's kind of silly to say that, but I've heard POD tones that sound more airy and realistic then what I'm getting from my Axe FX.
So my question is what are your favorite tricks and plug-ins for rhythm guitars? All I use currently is just EQ. High and Low passes, then notching out yucky frequencies. I've tried stereo spreading on the rhythm guitar bus which kind of helped widen them out and I've tried PSP vintage warmer and the Waves JJP Guitars as well which were pretty cool but I always just ended up going back to EQ only.
