SUPERB FANTASTIC INFORMATIVE Tutorial here Jason. THIS is why you are a tru PROfessional. So so valuable info. LOVED both of those short demo songs. I hope they become actual full length songs on a future album some day. Great concepts. Really shows how recording an album is a science. Keep it up. YOU ROCK!!!
This is my new top favorite series! I can see recommending this as much as I do the "How to Create Great Tone" videos you've done. Keep 'em coming please. Great stuff!!!
Loving this video. I've been doing the double tracks for a while now but I use CUBASE to delay by 30 ms generally. Never even thought of using a delay plugin.
Thanks Jason for such a helpful tip!! Would you consider to do a video explaining a/ adding bass & drums to our recordings journey? :) thanks in advance! Thanks to your great videos Im working w/ Reaper and HX Stomp! Greetings from Chicago J!
On a side note to the delay plugin.... I sometimes just duplicate the track and offset the tracks in the project timeline of Reaper.....also, you can use a pitch shifter plugin to just offset the tuning a bit!
Thanks so much for all this great material so generously offered. I've learned a TON, and I've purchased some of your patches and have been very pleased. One question, though, that I'm trying to understand as someone who has no real technical training in the recording process. You recorded your guitar tracks with a touch of room reverb, and I notice they're set to stereo outputs in your DAW. When you pan something that already has some reverb on it left or right on a stereo track, how does that affect that recorded reverb sound? Can you still add reverb to that within the DAW without muddying things up? What I've done in the past is record the guitars totally dry (which can be painful to listen to when recording) then output to a stereo bus with the room reverb affecting all the guitars routed to that bus. Just wondering if there's a better technique that I'm missing or if it's OK to record with some of that room reverb from the Helix patch already there and leave the guitar track in stereo rather than mono. Your examples in the video sound great. Thank you!
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks SO much!! (guess I know where my weekend is going lol) When you exampled the 2 different performances and panned them hard how far were you panning? .. and did you still have 1 guitar with a tiny delay or were they time synched?
Glad you liked it :-) In these examples, I was panning the guitar hard left and right as far as they could go, but that doesn't mean it needs to be done that way. A lot will be based on personal preference. The example with the delayed guitar was only to show that particular technique, all other examples you heard were without the delayed guitar. Hope that helps :-)
@jason at 14:40 when you add the delay, don't you get some little kind of phase cancellation? I mean in this very low settings until around 15ms it's sounding good but up from there you get some really dominant phasing? I mean as long as you use copied guitar sounds that are 1:1 the same. Petrucci uses like a 6-9 ms delay on one side of his guitar even live. So it works but you always have some phasing, starting from very very little to pretty obvious. What do you think about that? Am I wrong on this?
Very informative, Ive actually been doing this the last 6 months and I hear a big difference, Do you suggest Hard Left /Hard Right and one straight up the middle? of just the first 2? I'm limited to 2 things Im still using Garageband 10.3 and My iMac is 8 yrs old so I can't over tax it with lots of tracks, although using pod go now will help since i dont need to use as many plugins except EZ Drummer and EZ Bass
Thanks for yet another great episode. I have one question. Looking at the guitar tracks it seems like they're in stereo and therefore was recorded in stereo? Or is it just how Cubase represents audio tracks in general. I remember you saying in an earlier episode that outputting guitars in stereo doesn't make sense as guitar is naturally mono. I'm a bit confused
My pleasure :-) Great question, the presets I was using are stereo Helix presets. Having said that they are not dialed in in a way that sound overtly stereo (i.e wide ping pong delay for example). I create the presets that way so that anybody wanting to add more stereo elements can do so easily. So while I do record them to stereo tracks within Cubase they still sound mono and can pretty much be treated as such. Hope that helps :-)
As always, love your content! I’m surprised that you didn’t use the Helix for bass. On a side note, I love to use a different guitar type and amp for my alternate guitar. Feels like a two guitar band, warts and all.

This video is brilliant.
You are a natural communicator and this video was presented in such a intuitive way.
Many thanks.
I think this is your best video, yet! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Jason. This was perfect timing because I am about to start recording something to accompany a video Im about to undertake. This really helps.
Helpful tips as always.
Jason you are the man! This was super helpful! Can't wait to see more.
Great perspective on your thought process
Glad you liked it!

Thank you for doing that!!!
Am I right in guessing that track at the end is by Rad Hard Chilling Pipers? (Hope I'm not infringing anything by asking.)

Could someone more experienced than me please tell me the chord progression of the last recording, the one which sounds like RHCP
Welp. Off to listen to some Chili Peppers now 😁
