Polyphonic or X-form for electric guitars?

[nwarren1981]

Hi there,
I've been searching around as I normally do and can't find an answer to this one, Is the general idea to use polyphonic elastic audio to edit your guitars and then switch it to x-form to render it. Or are people finding better results with committing the edits using polyphonic mode? thanks to anyone who replies!

Forgot to mention, Each guitar had two mics and a Di track for editing, and the tone is pretty distorted (each guitar is grouped into these 3 tracks). Phase is not a major issue as I will probably take two separate takes and pan them hard l/r, thanks

I have been going with polyphonic and then consolidating the results.

I record several takes of the guitar dry, then manually tweek in warp mode with 2 to 4 tracks next to each other so they are close in timing, consolidate, reamp or use Eleven, then pan as needed. As you add realtime efx and limiting you have to nudge your regions ahead to keep the guitars in sync.

Thanks for the reply, The two elastic audio modes do make the guitar sounds quite different. The Xform seems to sort out some of the phase issues between the two mics but I think I prefer the sound of the polyphonic render of the track. seems to have more bite/attack or something, cheers
