Yeah, I’ll try all kinds of things to differentiate the tracks somehow: different mics, more distance with the double, record it at slightly different speed, etc. It’s only when 2 tracks are too close in nature that they start competing with each other.Kniferide wrote: Mon Feb 02, 2026 1:27 pm Pretty simple thing but if I double track anything, guitars, vocals... anything really. I will lo pass or shelve off a lot of the high end on one of the passes. It keeps all the chorusing down in the mid and low range and get rid of the hi phasey shit so it gets thick but not 90's acoustic guitar jangle. If it feels dull you can play with the hi of the track not Lo passed and it makes balancing the whole thing easier. Helps with uneven picking chatter a lot too.
A related thing: I aggressively low pass delays. I find I can use more of it without getting overpowering or artificial sounding.
