I have an audio track which consist of 12 bars. I want to create a double effect. What I want to do is copy that audio track to another track. Then, I want to slightly nudge the second track so it will sound like two guitars. I could do this in sonar very easily, but I have not found out how to do it in ProTools. I'm having a hard time reading the manuals. This is why I am asking so many questions. Could someone try and help me with this?

Hi Jimmy,
I'll tell you how to do what you want to do but, first, let me say that this method of creating a faux doubling is probably the worst way to go about it. I won't get into the reasons why because a little Googling of reputable online sources will explain. That said, do the following:
• Select your original track and duplicate it.
• while in the edit window, press Return to get to the beginning of the session.
• While pressing Option Shift, press Return to select everything to the end of the timeline.
• Set your nudge value to, say, 10 milliseconds.
• Press the plus key on the numeric keypad at least 2 if not 3 times.

That'll do it.
Slau

I found how to do it using stock pro tools plug-ins. Thanks for the heads up, I really just did not know what to call it. Thanks again.
