I sometimes copy the rhythm track on the far pan, paste it and pan it to the opposite side. Then I click and drag the copied track just milliseconds behind the beat. This, if done correctly, can create the feel that no two guitar players will play in exact synchronized timing!
BE CAREFUL!!! Pulling too far out ot time just creates a digital delay!! If you hear that you're too far out! You can just drag back until you find the sweet spot. Once you find it you'll have a wonderful wide open spot in the center for that beautiful guitar solo that will change the world and bring peace to the universe!!
It is much better to record another rhytm guitar on the right channel. In fact it's not sufficiente to change the amp sim because being on the right the same recording you will get a centre guitar sound. This is the logic of recording technique.
I've done it with some success depending on the type of tracks. Slightly moving one track like Sidney suggested works if you get it right . Sometimes it sounds like it's sweeping from one side to the other. Different EQ on each track helps and sometimes delay on one helps. I've also had pretty good luck using Melodyne to "slightly" change the timing of All of the notes on one of the tracks(easy). How you use reverb will also effect the separation. A wide reverb on a left track that carries all the way over to the right side will hinder the separation. I think it's better to use a Send to a reverb bus so you can control the panning of the effect. It's always trial and error. Good luck mark
That's because our perception of stereo depends on each ear hearing something different. Now, if you clone the track and then do something to make the two tracks sound different, cloning can work. EQ and delays are the most common methods for differentiating cloned tracks. However, as lapasoa notes you will get better results by actually recording a second part with a different tone. This is because you get additional differentiation by virtue of the fact that the two separate performances will not be identical.
Yeh, some people are really good at duplicating a performance. So good that you don't even notice it's double-tracked. David Gilmour was one such performer, both on guitar and vocals. But the overdub will always only be close, never perfect. And that's kind of the idea. Our ears are really good at discerning differences, even when those differences are very small.
Years ago I did an experiment. I double-tracked a vocal and then used V-Vocal and AudioSnap to make their pitches and timing match very, very closely. It didn't just kill the double-track effect, it sounded awful. Like it had been recorded in a concrete pipe. To my surprise, I'd gotten the two tracks so similar that they were suffering from comb filtering. Something that can also happen with guitars, especially when you use the same acoustic guitar for two tracks, with the same mic position in the same room.
maybe use the old 60's trick of the invisible guitar. record the electric performance, then record a second using an acoustic. then mix the acoustic in just behind the electric so it's almost audible. adds a bit of brightness and body (presuming the acoustic is recorded that way) to the electric without seeming like there is an acoustic at all. and sometimes, this is useful in reverse for acoustic songs, a bit of electric can add some mids and articulation (presuming you record it that way) to the acoustic without being obvious. both a separate tracks and acoustically different enough that you should have minimal phase effects even when using Haas tricks and so on.
Depending on how bad you want it. You can make the said guitar much better than just a simple copy and paste and nudge (hopefully 10 ms and under). I used to use various tricks like random time and pitch stretch ,and of of course random cuts and wav placements. But as you just said, it will probably never sound as good to you as a real multi tracked guitar.

I'm brand new at home recording, so please, be patient with me. I've been asked to record some guitar and sax tracks into Band Lab, and I haven't the slightest idea of what I need to do so. I have an older laptop running Windows 7. I have a POD HD500, into which I guess I can run both my guitar and a microphone for the sax. Will the HD500 serve as the AI, or do I need to buy an external one?
A glitch filter is available for removing spurious short notes. This works by setting a note length, in milliseconds, below which notes will be regarded as errors and deleted, and seems to be the only real MIDI processing feature designed to help overcome the problems and limitations of MIDI guitars. Most other sequencers already have a way of doing this, albeit less accessibly in some cases.
Guitar Studio is a welcome move towards integrating guitarists into the MIDI recording community, but to me it still feels rather like a keyboard sequencer with a few guitar bits and pieces tacked on.
Guitar Tracks Pro includes everything you need to deliver professional results -no expensive hardware is required. You get a 32-track digital recorder and virtual mixing console; IK Multimedia's Amplitube LE - a special edition of the leading guitar amp plug-in; high-quality effects; powerful looping tools with full ACID - loop support; a chromatic-tuner; a metronome; and a complete library of backing tracks.
Happened to me too... problem is, they limit the installs on the software... at least I think so... I got a new computer once, and WAS able to load it onto that one, but then on the next I think I could not. I even called cakewalk and they gave me a serial number or whatever number[s] it required to install, and THAT didn't work... luckily I got a NEW one at some point. For my files when my last computer was dying though, I just ended up finding another cakewalk version which, as I thought, was able to deal with all the old files- wish i still had GT2 though.
: Why this program do not install in Windows XP OS?
Yes I know! When I updated my pc from windows ME to XP suddenly my cakewalk GT 2 don't work! I emailed Cakewalk and they were good enough to respond....but there will be NO patches to run GT 2 on XP. Now I have lost all my tunes and have no way of using my backup disks exept to find somebody to let me use the pc they have. This really turned me off from what has been otherwise a really cool recording system.
Sorry man... I ran into the same problem... I was in Target and kept seeing a cakewalk version that was bundled with a guitar/USB cord... it was on sale and then slashed, so finally I got it. It worked with ALL my GT 2 trax! Whew! I had TEN years of stuff... but, this version seems only available now with a microphone bundle in Target [if it's the same one, AND it doesn't work quite like GT 2...] but all my songs are safe [P.S. I now create a wav export with every important tune.] Good luck.
