In this tip, Pyramind instructor Paul Simmans shows you multiple techniques you can use to thicken up your guitar sounds. He uses both acoustic guitar and distorted metal to exhibit his techniques.
First, he demonstrates the effect of duplicating a track, and why this alone is not sufficient for beefing up a sound. Then, Paul shows you how to apply the Hass trick by delaying a duplicated guitar track by a small amount of time, and panning both tracks hard left and right.
Next, he demonstrates how much of a difference doubling can make. He also notes that varying the sound of each guitar layer can have a big effect on a mix. Choosing different guitars, amps, or mic placements can thicken up a sound a lot.
