Hey everyone.
So, this question is stupid but I'd like to hear your approach. How do you go about tracking strummed acoustics, and specifically doubling them?
I'm at my 2nd ever home studio production and I'm just getting my feet wet with some ballad covers (also easier to mix and master) but I'm never satisfied with tracking acoustics. I always miss attacks by some ms or slow the strumming pattern just a little bit and then always get phasing effects, even if I reverse phase. I mean, I can't get good double trackings.
How do you go about it?
Do you always track on the original (assuming a cover) or do you track just on your previous take?
Metronome in 8ths more than straight 4ths, maybe?
Or do I just need more practice?![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
Dunno, just brainstorming.
