Running lots of DI guitar tracks. Need some help. nuuuuub.

[Ezpz93]

Okay.

For instance, pick a programme like Amplitube or Guitar Rig. I want 4 guitars with the same tone (in logic pro 9). To save on CPU and dumping out all the time, and to generally give my little macbook less stress I want to bus the guitar plugin, a general EQ, and my instance of Space Designer (for the IR cab).

MY PROBLEM: I can't pan the individual guitar tracks when the signals are being sent to my bus with my sound on it.

Obviously I want guitar hard left and hard right. (the other two i want slightly left, and slightly right - but sufficiently quieter) < Thats all cool cus i just turn down the send to the bus, it's just this panning pain in the arse that i can't seem to work out. I change the pan on the individual channels and it does nothing.

is the bus mono or stereo? if it is mono, you can't pan it.

The bus itself is stereo. I am able to pan the bus, but not the channels running into the bus, if you get me?

Why not render (or whatever term your DAW uses) each track individually and pan as you please?

 

[rfahey86]

After you get the sound you want, couldn't you just freeze the track to save cpu?

This is like getting 2 guitar players to plug into the same amp using a Y cable. Not something you'd normally do, and not something you're going to be able to pan. I would also suspect the whole thing is gonna sound a bit weird to be honest. Just use seperate instances of your amp & cab simulation and freeze/print your tracks. You can always send them all to a stereo bus and use that for your eq.
