Natural Chorus ?

[Harley Barley]

So the other day i was double tracking a lead melody for a demo i was working on recorded one then said wait my guitars probably out of tune. So i checked it was a bit off here and there. so i tuned it back up and play with the slightly off tuned guitar and holy crap! it sounded really awesome wide and a live. So i then deleted both and re recorded one tuned perfect then one tune perfect with the frequency of the tuner at like 438 in stead of standard (440) and it sounded really cool i think im going to start doing this for all lead melodies i double track. I don't think it would work/ sound as good on rhythm guitars. So my question is..

Has anybody stumbled upon this before?, tried it.. or was it just a fluke on that one riff i was playing ?

If I were you I'd go with a more subtle 439hz.
You should post a link man!

438 was even that much of a change. My Studio just got taken down to finish the ceilings ill do comparison when its back up

It's kinda like how they did the backing vocals in ABBA's songs; by varispeeding the tape down while recording, then playing it back in normal speed.

I'm no expert but I think that's essentially how a chorus effect works right? In that case it makes sense, and double tracking it instead of using one track would probably make it even cooler. It sounds like a great idea, I'll have to try it!

You have inspired me. I like double tracking solos and I like light chorus sometimes.

It's the same thing as duplicating a take and pitch shifting it up/down a few cents. Though I suspect it to sound even wider with the double tracking differences. So yeah, awesome idea!
