Have learned alot of things here, still i havent recorded that much. Do got some questions about dual and quadtracking. Let's say, my band has 2 guitarplayers, me and other guy. But we still play like 70% of the time the same riffs. Same rythym and tone.
Last demo (where i recorder all the guitars). I recorded like 4 guitartracks. I dit used revalver HP for the tone. I recorded 2 tracks for the left side, both with the same amp (5150) but different mic. And 2 tracks for the right side with same amp but other mic (XXX - revalver sound isnt anything compared to the real thing tbh). Is this quad-tracking??? I've been told if you do it this way, you get a nice and full tone. And gives alot power, and it did also. But consumes alot of time if you arent a really thight player.
At the next recording i am planning to do the same thing, but then using the real amps and mics. But thing now is: if i use the real thing, i would use multiple mics per cab (wich inst possible in revalver HP). Guitar 1 will be pannen 100% left, and the other one 100% right. Playing mostly the same thing. Is it really recommended to record both sides twice? If you are using same amp settings and mic positions? "
while typing i was thinking: yes you do, cause it will sound so much better" The question i should have asked is: do bands like: Despised Icon, Suffocation, Carnifex and some more of those awesome brutal band do it also this way??? Or not?

That's what I thought but there are so many posts kicking around on this that I was starting to wonder. On the topic of there being so many posts on quading, a sticky on guitar tracking would be good. You know, quad tracking, panning, levels, mic placement, etc, and of couse links to the existing re-amping and DI stickys.
