Convincing enough for you guys? Let me know!

[@FlyingMachete]

Super convincing indeed, but you know how much of us laptop shredders you would amaze actually trying to achieve the same only with plugins. A video on that would be awesome. Hats off for your work sir!

[@HASHIRA6505]

@@FlyingMachete take you're DI and spectrum match it to another guitar. I found free multi tracks online and used those , I have the spectrum of a bare knuckle aftermath and a Seymour duncan nazgul . Anyways spectrum match then flip the phase, into a new amp and IR that are close in character. print you're amp tone then flip youre phase again. Use two different amps and IRs but make sure they are close enough to compliment each other rectifier and 6505 are great combos as well as driftwood purp nightmare and a 6534+ ,all amp sims . But this method works well I've tested on two tracks already

[@sonidojamon]

If you "un-delay" the Mimiq double tracked emulation signal a few miliseconds, you'll get a more realistic/balanced double track effect. Mimiq's algorythm adds random pitch and delay changes to a copy of the original signal (higher "tighness" values add longer ms delays and wider pitch differences), but it will never add a negative delay (as that is "scientifically" impossible). So the idea is that you "record" that processed signal into a track and then zoom in untill you can compare peaks against the original signal side by side and move the audio clip back a few ms manually until they are aligned somehow (some peaks will happen before the original, and some will be after, that's the sweet spot!). This way you won't get the typical "unbalanced" volume effect that results from our ears perceiving the "sooner" signal (original DI) louder. When you do this, the double track effect is undistinguishable from a real double tracked recording. You can't do this live, but it can easily be done when recording with this quick post-processing trick! Try it out and let me know what you think! 😉 I'm not a big fan of polarity switching, as it can cause phase and/or mono compatibility issues. I also recommend to repeat this process 1 track at a time with the same settings. You will always get a totally different resulting double tracked signal from the same original track, as the MIMIQ pedal's algorythm is constantly applying random changes. That's why it works so great when used live!

[@JimmyKlef]

I fell for it for so long too. As an amateur everything… (musician / audio engineer / everything like everyone else these days) … it was ridiculously grueling. Because trying to get an engle sound on zero money will basically just ruin your soul. Lol. Everything is pretty different now… we can afford at least some of the best stuff even pros use these days so better sounds can be achieved easier at home now. But chasing tones like Danny Carey’s drums from Lateralus and guitar tones from super expensive studios and meshuggah and all that… yea. Not so easy in garageband in your parents basement on like, the worlds cheapest shit. Anyway, moral of the story is now when I listen back to my old recordings… literally the only music that still stands was the stuff I recorded that was just all me, and using whatever tone was quickly inspiring and worked. Most of anything i worked on back then in which I tried super hard to get super modern “great” amp sounds and such all sound like a kid exploring shit he doesn’t know… and not so musically compelling. The songs I thought were so cool that it didn’t matter much how i recorded it, but rather needed to get down the flood of ideas I had… those are some of the only ones that still stand. The song is just too cool to remotely care i didn’t shave off the top end sizzle-slush in the distortion. It literally doesn’t matter in so many cases. And honestly some of the absolute best tones i got, were just totally me and almost haphazardly. I would obviously try to record pretty well no matter what but yea. I really really recommend people just being themselves. Don’t chase anything too much. Your creative self will get lost. It really will. There’s nothing wrong with making sure you have a great sound but do it in chunks or something. Work with others who will help. Get feedback. And stick to it for a while and only change shit if you actually hear a change or it genuinely sounds bad. Let others bother with the super microscopic stuff.

[@xanataph]

One of the oldest tricks they used to do stereo reissue of mono records back in the day was to just filter the LH & RH channels differently, and usually complimentary. Like scooping the mids in one channel a bit and boosting them in the other. Or if you have a graphic EQ, boost one band and then cut the next, doing the opposite on the bands on the other channel. That kind of forms a comb filter and you get a pretty wide effect without even any time domain stuff.

22:29 Reference 22:35 Polarity trick 22:41 Mimiq pedal 22:47 Mimiq + Polarity 22:53 Mimiq + Polarity + different amp settings 22:59 Mimiq + Polarity + different amp settings + different mic position 23:05 Mimiq + Polarity + different AMP 23:11 Mimiq + Polarity + different AMP + different CAB The Mimiq (even alone without the different amp/cab/settings/polarity) sounds a tiny bit looser than the reference but that makes the sound a little more open. For less technical/fast stuff I think it's even better than double tracking. My only issue with that is I prefer the old school sound where both guitars don't play exactly the same way, ala 90's Slayer where you clearly hear it's not the same guitarist on each side. Plus you can add depth to your song with harmonizing or playing a different version of the chord etc. Not the actual standard, but I hate the modern sound.

Interesting idea: with the polarity trick an SD-1 might have more effect because it's clipping asymmetrically.

[@quirijnfoeken7520]

I tracked with the Mimic pedal once that was going into 2 different Orange amps/cabs. I remember we kept the tightness at zero because we couldnt find a setting that worked as we wanted. However, the 2 amp setups already did enough. This was on leads though. We double tracked the rhythms.

[@BeanSniffles]

The Mimiq is great. I use mine as a signal splitter going into the front of a Victory Super Kraken and a Mesa Badlander in a stereo setup. I set dubs to 1 because in stereo you don't need to fake it. Tightness is set around the middle somewhere. One amp gets the dry signal and the other gets the Mimiq'd signal. If you turn down the dry volume so you only hear the Mimiq'd amp, you can hear what the effect is doing. It feels like it's almost adding a couple milliseconds delay. It doesn't hinder your playing, but you can very subtly feel it. Of course, the whole point is to have dry and wet both up and running into two separate amps. It sounds colossal. And it's not just great for metal sounds. It adds a bit of width to a clean sound before it even gets to reverbs and delays.

[@DavePowell666]

Great to see you taking this further. I don't mind recording doubles, but quads not so much, especially on fast picky riffs! I would certainly appreciate a time/effort saver like this! 😎

Keeley also makes the 30ms pedal which is an automatic double tracker and could be used to do the same and also comes with standard chorus and reverb for about $80 more. It's only got one output jack, but I think it can work in stereo and will split the wet and dry signals with a splitter cable

[@greevar]

I love that pedal! I've never stopped using it since I got it! It's fantastic! I run the output from the MIMIQ into a MOOER CAB X2. Also, you should try putting two different OD's, and EQ's through the MIMIQ. Follow that with different speakers for each track.

[@kurtly]

I use a Mimiq live and have recorded demos with it. You can definitely hear the phasing and lose some bottom end. I’ll try a couple of these ideas and see if it makes a difference live!

[@Errorformed_audio]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing this idea! I went to the store today after watching this and checked out the Keeley Electronics 30MS Double Tracker pedal (only thing close they had). It lets you do this (minus polarity trick) in real time while you do your original take, using a TRS output cable. Sounds equally good, very flexible options for dialing it in!

[@pitaorj]

i´ve been using the mimiq direct to my interface, running the same amp in both channels BUT with different settings and different but close enough IRs. I´ve been doing that in the past 3 months and it is a great way to streamline pre production and composing new stuff. the final product is really close to the final product, but half the workload.

[@v4ld3r5]

I do this when playing live (I’m the only guitar player in the band). Dual amp setup, stereo out with Helix LT and at the beginning of one side I use the Double Take (which is pretty much the same as Mimiq). I haven’t tried the phase switch tho, that can be fun. Thx and cheers! 🍻

[@dropentier377]

Amazing vidéo ! Thanks !

[@tgunmusicchannel1973]

I use the mimiq as my signal splitter from the guitar, then one signal goes into an amp and the other into the headrush. 2 different amps varied by the mimiq. I also use the double track option on the Captor x.

[@carlasker9285]

[@panikpas]

I use the Eventide Deco to split my signal in two with a reversed phase on one side and then I go into the Mimiq. That way, I can record or play live with two different preamp (Friedman pedal et Carvin VLD1) into a stereo power amp and 2 different cabs with greenback and JBL, and different mics (57 and 421). Sometimes I can ear phase shifting with the Mimiq but it does a good job. Even better with a very small pitch shift using the H9 at the input (up and down).

[@lms8322]

Fantastic! I get something similar with Dimension Expander by Xfer Recrods, haas effect and a little M/S eqing (Aplly DX and use a HPF on the side , then use haas to recreate the feeil of double track, especially in the low end area) I use this approach specially to practice with headphones

Done almost all of that, cept for the phase flip in and out. Never heard of that before. I've done it most of the time the super old school way. Where you can't get the guitarist back into the studio so you use the guitar sound, come out of your monitors, mic your monitors, use a different preamp, and Bob's Your Uncle!

[@jordanburkhardt83]

I’ve been trying to do this for a while too. I had some luck with the mimiq after my drive pedals into two different amp heads. 1 solid state, the other tube. I read somewhere that one produces even order harmonics and the other odd. Definitely going to add the polarity trick and see how that works.

[@thegimpsometimes5937]

I have a similar approach to faking double tracks, except i use a shallow water set on 100% wet with no gate and extremely subtle modulation. I reamp the signal with only that pedal going through whatever amp and it gets me where i need to be.

[@kostis6]

Super! I personally use the twin tracker on the torpedo captor x and works great! I use this technique when I want a big mono sound you know. I always do real double tracking anyway because it sounds more natural in my opinion. Many times I play differently between left and right guitars. I record alternative rock by the way. Cheers

This pedals been out for yonks. I was going to get one years ago. I generally use 2 different guitars for tacking, One thing extra you could do is used a chorus on one but set at a level you don’t really hear. That really changes up the waveform for extra width. 💪🏻🤘🏻

[@RobbDizzl]

If you have the cabs, amps, mics, inputs you could just track it with mimic pedal and save yourself the reamping. Or just record the mimic DI and run it through an amp sim plug-in.

[@PaulEubanks]

I absolutely love this approach, but one thing I've wanted is to do a similar thing with vocals, and I learned a trick doing it with vocals that I was able to back-port to guitar with similarly good effects. With vocals you don't have a guitar amp and cab/IR, but what I found is you can also do the vocal doubling trick using a VERY short reverb IR, and doing the phase flip trick before and after the IR. And then all the normal slight EQ/compression moves to create space between the original and duplicate track. And you can also use the IR reverb trick with one of the guitar tracks too, you just have to make sure the reverb IR you use is VERY VERY short.

[@nikht0]

Hey, this gave me some ideas, thanks! So I did an experiment and managed to make really convincing stereo guitar tracks from a mono DI totally in the box with amp sims with no audible phasing or artifacts. Here’s how: 1: Flip phase on mono DI. 2. Drop the pitch 2 semitones (in Ableton I used the “Complex Pro” algorithm, but I think most DAWs use the same algorithm) 3. Resample or bounce your phase flipped, pitch-shifted DI. 4. Raise the pitch back up 2 semitones. 5. Resample or bounce it. 6. Add amp sim, flip phase again and pan. I even used the exact same preset and cabinet settings on the amp sim on both the left and right tracks and it still worked, I am guessing because the re-pitching algorithm somehow adds enough variations that it eliminates audible phase issues. I also tried putting the LFO tool on Voxengo’s free Sound Delay plugin to randomly sweep the delay settings on the new DI by between 0 and around 40 samples, and it also works but is very subtle. I'd like to hear if anyone else can get similar results.

[@AndJesusSayWTF]

So you detune then retune your di before the amp sim ? What about after the amp sim ? I will try that.

[@nikht0]

@@AndJesusSayWTF I just detuned it and re-tuned the DI before adding the amp sim, but I did leave it out of phase, re-reversing phase after the sim. It appears that the pitch algorithm is not able to perfectly reverse whatever micro-changes it originally made to the waveform when pitching it down, and those subtle differences seem to be why it works. The reason I didn't do it after the sim is because I assumed the distortion would sound weird. But maybe not! Let me know how that works out.

[@maxduncan4473]

@@nikht0 No, you're definitely correct. I've done the same thing; it works. I found that even one semitone either way works fine. Mind you, the problem is that pitch-shifting plug-ins have unfortunately gotten too much more accurate over the years and the 'micro-changes' you mention are getting ironed out. I just use an ancient BOSS Pitch-shifter pedal and the result is exactly how you describe.

[@nikht0]

@@maxduncan4473 I didn't use a plugin, I used the re-pitching/time-stretching tool that comes with Ableton Live, which is actually licensed from Elastique. (I used Ableton Live 11 and for now at least, it still works). Other DAWs that have the exact same Elastique tools built into them are Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reaper, Bitwig, Tracktion and Cakewalk. It's pretty cool that this works so well, eh?

Great video! I was thinking on gettin a TC Mimiq doubler, or a Boss Metalizer. In the meantime, i've achieved a good double tracking sound using a Line6 POD HD Desktop, very good results, but the thing is i depend on using the parallel preamp modeler and the cab sims for now, maybe if i use 2 separate IR loader it will get a little bit better. I think it's possible use only the effects and getting good results, i'm using a Pitch vibrato in one of the amps. On the past, I've done this with the POD X3 too, it's possible, but takes you on a path to frustration for various reasons.

[@ronnymilianowicz5228]

So i tried to mix some of the last videos. :) I slaved my 6505+ into a Engl Artist Edition poweramp on 2 tracks with Mesa cabs. Then by using the flip phase and Mimic i created track 3-4 with a Marshall amp/cab. This is the first time i really liked blending amps from one di. Its like quad tracking but without loosing attack. Then i took di 1-2 again and re amped through a new amp/cab with Digitech D drop in octave to blend in slightly. So all in all 6 tracks and 4 amps from 2 di tacks. This was more of a test but the cool thing is that it works without the normal phaseproblems. I feel the Mimic works even better like this from 2 to 4 tracks since it seems to add up to like 20 ms delay.

I’ve had a really cool idea involving the Mimiq where another guitar player and I would both play through a two amplifier setup to get a quad-tracked sound in a live situation. I feel like it would be a really cool setup for a live situation in order to create a massive live sound. I’m sure I’ll run into issues here and there but I feel that it will be a really interesting way to make a live set sound even bigger than from just playing through one amplifier. 🤔 blending different amplifiers, different speaker types, etc.

[@damndoor3570]

I attempted something similar with an aby pedal when i used to play live. On my side i ran path A into a Marshall head and a peavy cab. Path B went into an engl head and a Frankenstein cab. Our other guitarist ran his into a bogner head and a Marshall cab and his other path into a peavy head and blackstar cab. Not sure if it really sounded quad tracked but you couldn't help but grin uncontrollably when playing through either rig lol

[@Defensive_Wounds]

What I do to do this is have 4 stems, 2 are high pass filtered and inverted/flipped opposite to the 2 un-high pass filtered stems. I then on all 4 of them zoom right in and move the right speaker guitar stems slightly to the right to technically be ever so slightly out of sync to the left ones. No panning or phasing required. It sounds like 2 guitar recordings plus goes from left to right and sometimes (due to the quieter inverted high passed stems) right to left on occasions. No fancy plug ins or anything. Just trial and error on my own to work out a way!

It is called Haas trick and it will sound phasey in mono, as you don't change the source signal, only shift it a bit

[@indominion]

You provide the most useful tips and you've really helped me man. Thank you. We need to get you on some new riffs though because I've heard this same riff for years 🤣

[@KohleAudioKult]

Haha! Maybe it’s time for a new riff, I agree!

[@josuastangl7140]

@@KohleAudioKult and you're clearly capable of writing good riffs, tho a new one won't hurt hehe

[@RenanBEreanSound]

Nailed it man! Anyways different L & R tones are desirable for mixing. Im gona try it, thank you!!

[@MK-oz2lf]

Yeah it’s pretty close. The copied side has less low end and the real take sounds more pronounced still but this is a great mix idea for a single guitar band when playing live. Petrucci uses the Mimiq with two heads and speakers live

[@BcBaxley]

UNREAL 😎Cant argue with them end results🍻🤘

[@MattDTN]

I have this pedal. It’s really great!

[@BeautyInAPlasticBag]

Uh, I‘m excited to check this out later today.

[@dustrider9306]

I had this idea of a pedal that does exactly what the mimic does 5 years ago. Seems like I was on the right track. glad that it's out. :)

[@josuastangl7140]

This is quite amazing! John Browne (as the only guitar player in Monuments) uses the Mimiq model in the Helix for quad tracked guitars live. Rabea Massad also used the Mimiq for his Toska project, but since got rid of it, because he thought it sounded phasey. I'm also the only guitarist in my band and I'd say I have a pretty good stereo setup going in my modeller (Quad Cortex, always running two different amps and cabs). It seems to be more than just a sample delay. So... should I try the Mimiq? How big is the difference between different rigs with and without the pedal? I'd love to see that. Also I think I might update all my patches to make use of the polarity trick. These videos are gold, especially for one guitarist live bands, danke!

[@SciFi.Horror.Thriller.Fantasy]

Cool, will look into Mimiq! Thanx!

[@mrparkinson]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing, sir. Grandma says hi back!

[@pjmtry7]

Have two of these Mimiq’s, you take one and stereo out to mixer and have a dual splitter before then take the second half of splitter with another Mimiq to same mixer then then flip the left and right on that second one and whallah!

[@KohleAudioKult]

Boom!

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

That was absolutely amazing!! I wonder if we use amp Sims, with different cabinets, and maybe even different styles of overdrive Sims, we could maybe get a similar result?!! 🤔🤔🤔

[@ionnera6235]

If often helps to think about the MiniMoog Model D, 1 oscillator = sound source = good, 2 oscillators = good yet with some phase, 3 oscillators? Excellent. Matt Pike may have discovered something similar with his 3x amp stack setup.

[@Lukasz_KLAT]

Bass guitar tone is mindblowing.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Thanks! It's basically those two plugins you see in the video + my IR

[@kicsisziszi]

TC Electronic rarely disappoints

[@rome8180]

This seems like it's worth it if you only have a single track to work with. But considering the time spent dialing in amps, reamping, moving mic positions, etc., it seems like in many situations it might be easier just to play the part multiple times. Of course, that's not always an option. And for quad tracking, I think it's definitely justified. I'm going to order that pedal.

[@KohleAudioKult]

It usually takes days to do a proper rhythm guitar session, to play all the doubles perfectly. Moving a mic and twisting some knobs takes me three minutes.

[@ronnielobosmith4870]

Also using the a b pedal scooping and boosting your mids

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

I believe the TAD 25th Anniversary speakers are relabled Dave Mustaine V30s. They use the same.product code, have the same basket and were made at least three years before TADs 25th anniversary. I shot them out against a bunch of V30s....and they definitely are V30s

[@Elephanttalk1985]

I have the Mimiq pedal and is awesome, live is a godsend when you have only one guitar. But I strongly recommend to check out the DOUBLER plugin by Nembrini Audio. It blows the Mimiq out of the water, you have more control and the slight timing and pitch changes happen on both channels (on the mimiq is just the right channel affected, the left is the dry signal).

[@richardlise2271]

If you set it to 2 dubs, and turn the dry all the way down you can make the Mimiq affect both the left and the right signal simultaneously

[@JonManProductions]

Ehhh it looks like the Nembrini doesn't really do the exact same thing the Mimiq does when its in stereo... another KZbinr did a deep dive into the specifics and the Mimiq does some real crazy shit with the outputs left and right, not merely just delaying one track or another. Unless you'd wanna show that the nembrini can do the exact same thing then idk.

[@sebrura]

Why do you comment when you havent’t even tried the Nembrini? It does not merely just delay one track or another. It does the same thing Mimiq does. Try it, it’s free for 14 days.

[@HASHIRA6505]

Just tested and, spectrum matching the DI, phase flip, into a different amp Sim with new IR, then flip again . instant stereo guitar image. mwah

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

The driftwood Cab/speakers sounds good. Interesting.

[@RudalPL]

I still think that double tracked guitars sound best. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Would I tell the difference if someone would play me a song and asked if it's a single DI or not? No. Definitely no. As for someone who does his own stuff in a living room the whole trick is a bit unobtainable but it's good to know it exists. You never know when you might need it. 😉

[@VForsaken]

See Kohle's experience as always priceless! Thanks 2 you a lot, Man! But I don't think I'll ever would rid of doubling my guitar tracks naturally - this is the only way to learn my songs properly and tight 😂😂😂

[@KohleAudioKult]

Fair enough! It’s e good exercise 🤩

Have tried Waves ADT ? this is my favorite way for fake double tracking so far the cool thing is that therei s a random delay setting that avoids chorus effects an phasy sounds

[@GappyDanZ]

Just started the video so don’t know your techniques yet but I’m hoping it is the same or similar to what I do as if so then I have been doing it right all this time 😂 I record one track, copy and paste it, make the copied one unique, switch the polarity and slide it over so it starts maybe a few milliseconds after the original and then pan one left and one right

[@DaBlackAndWhiteStudio]

can i thank you for the nudging trick for the 2 mics !!! its awesome !!! completly changes the sound

[@KohleAudioKult]

You’re welcome! Next week there will be another video about this. Stay tuned!

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

nice now please give us Brunetti profile for Neural amp modeler so we could try it lol. I might buy it actually. No one modeled that amp yet
