in this instance, it was the same amp/settings, but different guitars. Some people like to change it up and use different guitars and amps, and you absolutely can, but I've found that even using the same guitar and amp, it still works. The biggest factor is making sure the two tracks are as tight as possible.

So I just sat down and watched every cover of this song on KZbin that I could find. With every pathetic/sub-par/mediocre cover I watched, the feeling of dissatisfaction kept growing and growing. I couldn't let it go until I found one that was as good as it should be. Well, it has been over TWO HOURS since I began searching and I can tell you beyond ANY shadow of a doubt: What you have here is the single greatest cover of this song on ALL of KZbin. Next to Weezer themselves, a better cover of this song does not exist. Why this doesn't come up at the top of the page is baffling, I am legitimately angry that this doesn't have more views. I know this comment is a bit long but after investing so much time and getting increasingly frustrated with this search, I felt it necessary to tell you about it. You should be really damn proud of yourselves, you NAILED it.

I got a C-1 Elite back in 2005. Had it for about 13 years. I missed that guitar. I just bought a used one in excellent condition. Out of all the guitars I've owned, it was the guitar that just felt the best for me. Also, interesting story. I've been jamming since I was 15 back in the mid 90's. I've played a lot of guitars from many big name brands. Two brands I definitely just couldn't ever get used to. Gibson guitars always have this thick neck and didn't feel right in my hands. Ibanez guitar necks were too wide for me. They felt more like I was holding a 7 string. ESP and Jackson were probably the only two that felt better. In 2004 I walked into Guitar Center and my eyes stumbled upon a Schecter C-1 Classic. I was blown away how beautiful that guitar was. I had never heard of Schecter myself. I grabbed that C-1 Classic and, man, that guitar felt perfect in my hands. I went back the following week and bought a C-1 Classic. That was in 2004, That was my first Schecter guitar. Then in 2005 I went to Guitar Center and bought a Schecter C-1 Elite. In 2008 I went to GC and bought a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser FR. And the last Schecter guitar I bought was a Schecter JL-7 FR in 2011 from GC's website. I'm not a fanboy by any means, but it's the brands that I most enjoy. Their guitar necks just feel perfect in my hand. And that is what mattered the most to me. The biggest reason why I never owned an Epiphone or Gibson. And as I said, I just bought a used C-1 Elite because I miss the one I had. It's in excellent condition with no dinks, dents. Very minor scraches from picking the guitar strings. I got it for $500 total with tax on Reverb. I'm definitely not going to let this one go. I personally prefer their guitars from mid 2000's to early 2010's. There are a few newer guitars in their line that I like, but they just don't make them look special like they used to. I still own the Hellraiser and JL-7. I've kept them in mint condition. The JL-7 still is my first and only 7 string I've ever owned and played. It's a blast to jam with.

Really useful tips, thanks man. Just wondering how you'd apply panning to the indie sound of bands like Libertines (e.g. Can't Stand Me Now), or even Pixies, where it's common for the two guitars to be playing different parts simultaneously (sometimes complimentary chords)? Can you still make those sound big with hard panning, or do the parts need to be identical? Or is this really just for metal and heavy rock? Also where would you pan? Double track both left and right? Single track one hard left and one hard right? Something else? Or is playing different parts in general just a bad idea? I saw someone suggest hard panning two takes of the same part, and then doing the same again an octave up, but I wasn't sure if that would just cause a chaotic mess?
@SwedeStudios
@SwedeStudios Ай бұрын
Hey, I work primarily with rock/metal genres so this is a technique that works well there, but it works well anywhere there is a distinct rhythm guitar. I've worked with, and been in bands where both guitar players were playing different parts. My process for those situations is to see if either of those parts could be considered the "rhythm". Maybe one guy is strumming chords and the other guy is playing a melody line over the top of it. In that instance, I'd treat the strummed part as the rhythm (double and pan) and then treat the other part as a lead and bring it up the middle. If both guitars are playing similar parts, but occasionally play different chords (maybe one goes low and the other goes high), I would just single track both and pan them out...you essentially get a double tracked feel as long as the two parts are tight. Other times, if the parts are both distinct and different, I might just leave them as is and pan them out, but not fully...maybe 70%. Depending on the song, doubling isn't always necessary. These situations I tend to feel it out and see what works best for the song. In the end it always comes down to what works best for your particular situation...experiment and try different things. Maybe certain parts of the song end up double tracked and others don't. Never do anything just because "that's what you're supposed to do"...do what serves the song best.
@samsonlovesyou
@samsonlovesyou Ай бұрын
@SwedeStudios Awesome explanation, dude, thanks. I'm cautious that treating one rhythm guitar as 'lead' and putting it up the middle might mask vocals or vice versa when they're both playing, but I guess that 70% option is still there for those situations.

Bro, I have the exact same guitar but with SD pups without the chrome covers. Funny story: I got out of playing and sold all my stuff (sounding familiar?) and kept my original first acoustic, which I still have. This Schecter was my first guitar purchased after a 20 year break from playing. I still have it along with 10 or so more guitars I've picked up in the past 8 years. I play the Schecter pretty much every day. As you said, it just feels right in the hands. It really competes well with my custom shop Fender and against LP. Schecter is under-rated in my opinion. Great video that hit home with me. Thanks for sharing

It sounds like you mostly like the chunky less melodic, more rhythm focused stuff and shun the songs with a lot of let's say vocal focus, or harmonies. My S tier would be Animosity, Home, Next, Cold Day Memory, Kill The Flaw and All I See Is War Alpha and Chapter VII are definitely their worst albums but still better than a lot of other bands, i'd drop those in C tier, and the rest sprinkled in A and B tier. Time Travelers is definitely a Mood album but for what it does, it is exquisetly produced and engineered. Sevendust just doesn't need a D tier. Not one of these albums has a song on them that i actively dislike, or want to skip. The worst things they've put to recording is "average", and there's not much of that in this discography. They continue to be masters of their craft.

Chapter VII is the one that just doesn't really hit me at all....but like you said, I don't "dislike it" or want to skip past it...I just don't go to that album if I want a Sevendust fix.

Hello guys ! Just a question : When you have rhythm guitar and also a melodic guitar at the same time you double track rhythm guitar and one hard left panned and the other one hard rght panned. But what di I need to do if there's a melodic double track guitar at the same time ? (it's the case for most of my metal song) Do you pan it left 70% and right 70% or 50% left 50% right...? I know that these 2 different guitar part don't supposed to be hard panned the same ! Please help ! THANKS !

So, the rhythm I would double track and hard pan left and right. If the other guitar is just playing a melody line (single notes with no chords), I wouldn't double it, I would treat it like a solo and just keep it a single track right up the middle. Now if its a melody AND a harmony with it, I would pan those 2 tracks out a bit, but not 100%...maybe 50-70. Those types of situations you just have to just try different settings and see where it sits best.

When I had changed the strings and went into intonation i noticed the neck was twisted from left to right making it really hard to fix..

Thank you sooo much for this explanation. However I have one question. So I just purchased a Trs patchbay to use in my studio. My only interface that I’m using is the SSL12, which only has 4 analog in and 4 analog out (I can use adat but I don’t have an expansion interface). My question is, do I NEED an xlr bay? I guess I’m stumped at the part of where I plug my mics into. I used to obviously just plug them into the inputs of the SSL, but I want the option of sending that vocal signal to my comp. Long story short, do I need an xlr patch bay? Or is there another way to set everything up. Thanks again!
@SwedeStudios
@SwedeStudios 4 ай бұрын
The XLR bay isn't necessary, but it is nice to have one spot where all my mic cables come into the desk...from there I just have short XLR to TRS cables that feed the top TRS patch bay with those inputs. If you aren't using an external mic pre and are just using the built-in preamps of the interface you can keep plugging the mics directly into the interface and then send out of your DAW to patch into any external compressors, eqs, etc. So, no...you don't NEED the XLR bay...with my setup it makes things easier though.

great tutorial but I have a question - I am about to record two guitarists which I usually pan L& R, sounds big but I want bigger, would you recommend double-tracking both guitars - won't that just get messy? - how would you pan them, I'm currently thinking panning hard left and right then the 'doubles' 50% left and right in order to keep the 'sides'?
@SwedeStudios
@SwedeStudios 4 ай бұрын
Personally, I wouldn't double both. What I would do really depends on what they are playing and how different the parts are...these situations usually require some experimentation. I'll usually try and make a decision on which one is actually the rhythm. If one is more of a rhythm and the other is more of a lead (melody lines playing off the rhythm), I'll double the "rhythm" part and pan that left and right and then leave the lead or melody part up the middle. In the example I played in the video, the original song played live had the rhythm (my part) and the melody line being played over the top (other guitar player). When it came time for the studio, since my part was the "rhythm", we doubled and panned that and then left the lead part as a single track down the middle. If they are both playing distinctly different parts and you can't really determine one or the other being the rhythm, I would leave them as single tracks and play with the pan to see where it fits best. Hope this helps a bit...best of luck!
