Re: doubling with duplicate track
Definitely on the same page as albee1952. All good and practical advice from everyone.
Tracking a second live performance by actually playing along with the first one creates a natural chorusing effect that sounds suhhhWEET. When the double tracking is tight (yet human) and things are smooth & in phase, it adds a natural harmonic enhancement that no amount of editing can add. I also understand that sometimes it's late and your just working with the tracks available inside PT. If possible, use a different sounding but complementary guitar for the second track. Or a slightly different tone. You can also create a rich sound by using MEDIUM gain* for each track. The two tracks will combine to create a richer, more dynamic level of gain; with more clarity & girth. *When recording with distorted guitar tones If double tracking a clean & arpeggiated (broken chord) part, try this: Using the same guitar, record one track in neck position & the other track in bridge position. This combines the fullness & warmth of the neck position with the articulation and clarity of the bridge position. Just some extra tips on combining two tones that are different yet compliment each other in a musical way.

The definition is, or at least used to be: two identical recordings with only the slight variations that comes with imperfections in the performance. Actually, most times they were not panned to make a wide stereo at all, but panned together to make a fat sound. Quote:
What do you mean, 'medium gain'? Quote:
Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Especially when we are helping out a newbie.

Re: doubling with duplicate track
Hi Ben,
I do apologize for my "OED". Over Expressive Disorder (to the extent of being totally off point). You guys can disregard my take77 tangent.
