Is Quad Tracking Guitars Dumb? – Recording Metal Guitars

Is quad tracking metal guitars a waste of time?

The truth is…it depends. 

Do you want your guitar tracks to sound more:

Thick

Clear

Heavy

Full

If you feel like your guitars are missing any of the above, I have news for you:

Quad Tracking IS NOT the answer to your guitar tone problems. 

With that being said, it does have its place in metal production and I cover the benefits of quad tracking in this video. 

If you’re struggling with guitar tone and are considering going through alllllll of the trouble of recording your rhythm guitars twice, I highly suggest you watch my latest video “Is Quad Tracking a Waste Of Time?”.

It will guide you in the right direction when it’s time to start tracking guitars for your next project.

The key to crafting a great metal production is to have a clear and solid plan in place.

Spending time on the wrong things can not only waste your time, it can drain your creative energy.

I want you to get straight to making great sounding music without wasting time on all the stuff I used to waste time on.
