Default Re: Guitar Solos

You might try using 2 mics to record your solos 1 close another about 3 ft. back, use 2 separate tracks. Pan one left and the other right and add just a bit of delay to one or the other. This will give you a broader stereo field and allow your solo to breathe and give you better control of the volume. Experiment you hear it when it's right! And oh yeah, leave the compressor and eq alone. Get the sound right going into the mic. Use that stuff when the mix is done to put the icing on. A little compression goes a long way. It's way too over used. Any good mastering engineer will tell you don't squash it till we master it! I hope you may find some of this useful.
