Hey folks,
So this kinda has me thinking. In pro metal albums say with 1 guitarist, lets take Dream Theater for example. How does the double tracking work? Would JP actually play the same rhythm twice like we normally do in our home-studios? Or would he just get a DI recorded of 1 take and feed it to two or a bajillion different amps/amp-settings and mix/match?
Because rhythm tracks could get insanely complex and hitting everything so tight that even our trained guitar ears can't really tell easily that its 2 takes just gets me thinking. I don't mean to just talk about DT, its just an example.
