Multiple Rhythms

[MaellaJohn]

What do you guys do when working with multiple rhythm guitar tracks?

I'm trying to get each guitar to sound a bit clearer but it's muddy. uke:


I pan the first rhythm hard left/right and then I pan the extra rhythm about 70% L/R.

Normal amount of gain on the wide panned ones, considerably less gain on the closed in guitars for note definition

tighter playing = less muddy.

Also try 2 tracks panned 100/100, and 2 panned 90/90 or 83/83.

+1 on both of the previous answers. Tight playing and different tones are what make quad rhythms work.

Meat from one, air from the other.
And tight as shit playing.

Thanks for all that. I'm working it out now. \m/
