Hi the mate. Let's work on improving Your mixes. Let's start from some very basic things. At first we have to find why guitars sound more like a mono. For that purpose You have to shoe me and descripe WHOLE signal chain of any guitar. To get good doubled rhythm guitars You have to remember that You can't send all the guitar tracks to just one plug-in /channel or group. Every guitar has to gave independent amp sim and independet Kefi. Both amp sim and Kefir can be MONO...but plugged on every single track of guitar.

At first leave only two tracks of guitars so we could easily find the reason of Your problem. Try to mix them 100% left + 100% right and send me (post attachment) only guitars mixed to stereo.


Just a little reminder to make shure. Doubled guitars power is based on two guitar tracks with exactly the same part BUT played twice. You record part 1 and throw it to the lef. Then You go to the beginning and once again record the same thing...then pan it 100% right. Copying guitar tracks doesn't give the effect. You have to play and record same part twice and then mix it together. Understood ?smile.gif
