I have a secret weapon for blending guitar layers.
Have you ever found yourself deep in the weeds, trying to figure out how to keep your multiple guitar layers from stepping all over one other?
Guitar tracks (especially heavy, distorted ones) take up a TON of sonic real estate by nature.
What’s the best way to sort these all out?
Should you use lavish automation moves?
Crazy sidechain compression techniques?
A ton of reverb and delay for separation?
People love turning mixing into rocket science and I was guilty of this myself in my early days..
But making space for instruments, like guitars, is much more straightforward than you’d think.
In my latest tutorial, I share my dead simple approach to blending multiple guitar layers to leave plenty of space for everything else.
Also, be sure to download my FREE guitar cab impulse response. It’s an IR of my all-time favorite Mesa cab (with V30 speakers) out of my studio.
