Exactly, I hate sometimes when you going for that sound of a song you like and it is hard to nail it. I found it is best to find a live version so I get a better idea of what it really sounds like assuming there is no trickery on stage, but that is getting harder. I can tell how much you love music the pain you are willing to endure for your craft Dan. 😁

Also, one recording tip, when doubling or layering guitars: Even if you use a different guitar or pedal, try switching speaker cabs, mic preamps, and especially microphones. Mics and pres have very specific frequency and transient responses, and if you layer several of them, it can all start to sound the same, even if using a different guitar... sometimes using the exact same setup with a different mic can sound more different than a different rig with the same mic.

As a final exam for my SAE Audio Engineering Diploma way back in 1985 I had to record 2 song tracks of a multi piece band. We had 16 track 1" tape, yay !!... The 1st song went down sweet with 7mics on drums, 3 guitar parts on a Fender Deluxe Reverb plus a bass track, a DX7 keyboard part, a Sax track and a few vocals. On the 2nd song we laid down a number of tracks, and the control room suddenly burst into discussion that the lead guitar part wasn't quite right. Calming the disaster I said we could just re-lay the lead guitar part again, and easy peasy 4 minutes later I hit stop and rewind on the 16 track recorder. Silly me didn't drop the fader of the first lead guitar part, and despite being panned hard left and right thankfully nobody noticed the near identical verse rhythm playing on both guitar parts. That was fine until the lead solo where the guitarist played a near totes diff accented solo. Everybody was stunned as the lead solo guitar swirled around the control room only to disappear back into rhythm sweetness at the end of the solo. My Brisbane instructors were so impressed they gave me a teaching job at the Perth school, and the 1" multitrack master was taken to the UK.

Ah, a most excellent primer on double tracking. Thanks Dan! Watching this reminded me of a story from a ZZ Top documentary. While recording their first album, the recording engineer suggested double tracking Billy G's guitar part. The band's manager was dead set against it, but the band connived a plan to send the manager out for take-out barbecue at a restaurant some distance from the studio. While the manager was gone, Billy doubled his part and the rest is music legend and history. :-)

So I have double tracked ambient pads by reversing the original and hard panning it with both of them put through massive reverb. Worked really well through the whole song. More recently I used the same ambient pad but put them each through a different effect. Worked really well and created great movement especially in the verses. Unbelievable amounts of fun was had.

This is great Dan! The fan outro was hilarious, I hope it didn't hurt! I double track when recording, sometimes even triple. But I only did triples after using a TCE Mimiq pedal live in stereo (not the mini mimiq). It's so much fun that I bought the TC Duplicator pedal for my live vocals (for very occasional use. It's one of those effects that can be overused). So now I will sometimes double track a counter melody vocal, or the harmony vocal on the bridge.

Great vid Dan as always! I’ve got a mimiq and a quintessence, for live stuff you can get similar effect to ‘2’ using quintessence going into mimiq - (try and come out using both stereo outs), this can give double track effect, then for solo have quintessence on moment mode. Be aware, on quintessence ‘dry’ comes out right, and the other way round on mimiq, I keep dry and wet signal separate.

Here is a tip I dig if time permits: If you want the 'effect' or depth of a double track, but want a more sparse mix... I like to record a second track and only play a wet reverb of that channel... so guitar part A dry mostly right and B on left opposite channel all wet... has the nice width thing, but still room for something else dry on top of that second part.

With 2 guitars, panning 1 guitar 100% and it's double track to 75%, then do the same with you second guitar on the other side. This is great when a band has 2 guitarist with different tones. Technically quadtracking, but each guitarist only needs to track twice. Also, use a different amp, guitar, speaker or mic and hard pan that as a doubled track. That's another awesome trick

Another cool double tracking technique that I’ll use when recording is to do one take on the neck pickup, double the track that, then do another track on the neck and middle and double track that.

Double tracking is brilliant! Ever since I was at College back when I was 18 (bloody ten years ago now!) I learned about it and I've never done a recording session or writing session without it - It's hugely rewarding to feel that wall of sound back at you with all those glorious textures! One thing I've been having a play around with recently is double tracking the rhythm parts left and right hard panned, and then adding a third guitar track in the middle playing rhythm and any lead textures - It's not something I'd use all the time, but it's been fun to mess around with to create a thicker guitar sound!

Nice tips Dan. What I'm doing is running stereo rig with 2 different amps with sligthly different eq and gain plus I set up a slight latency between the the two outputs so that it sounds as if there were 2 guitarists playing. It works great.

That's why, when recording 2 rock guitars, you change amp and cab for the double, as it enriches the sound tremendoulsy. Kinda like the EQ example. Apart from that it's the "play the same, but somewhere else" which does the trick.
