Add WIDTH To Your heavy Guitar Mix: Impulse Response Hacks Pt. 3

Adding extra width to a heavy guitar mix is almost always a good thing.

Sometimes you just need those rhythm guitars living almost outside of the stereo field. ​But what if your guitars are already hard panned, but are no way near as wide as you’d like them to be? ​

Should you whip out the ol’ stereo widener plugin on your guitar buss?

​Nah..completely unnecessary. ​​

In Part III of this week’s mini series, I show you my absolute favorite trick for achieving an extra wide guitar tone using impulse responses from my new IR Octopack.

An ultra-wide heavy guitar mix at the source.

​I hope you’ve enjoyed this mini series and churn out some killer mixes with these impulse responses. ​

I had a ton of fun making them and am already using them all over my newer productions.

I can’t wait to hear what you do with them!

You can download my new Impulse Response Octopack for free by clicking HERE.

The Octopack includes 8 microphones and two different mic placements for each :

– Shure SM57

– Shure SM81

– Electro-Voice RE16

​Enjoy the IR pack!
