everydayjones Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm noticing a technique used in todays recordings that will pan the low parts of plucked guitar strings to the left channel and allow the high notes to pass to the right. I can't quite figure if that's two guitars playing the same part with R and L hard pan with LP and HP filters applied respectively, or if they are using a "crossover" type of effect. Should I post an example? Anyone know of this technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 By all means post an example. It could simply be a stereo miking technique with one mic at the bottom (high note) and one at the top (low notes)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamthecrank Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I hear two guitars. One of left, one on right. I would think that stereo miking could do this easily, but the only reason I say two guitars is because of a slight chorussing/delay effect I hear (which could also be b/c of distance of the stereo pair).

ggrelad Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 adding to slamthecrank's reply: Or a sample delay I think that in this case it's the same guitar recorded twice and then fully panned. it is possible to pan freq. ranges as well. for example the Stereo Spread plug-in is a good place to start.

El Mustache Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I read that on Neil Young’s new album Daniel Lanois built him a guitar that split up the frequencies so they could be processed and panned separately. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129955938 I think fader8 showed a technique that used the multi-pressor to split a loop into 4 bands that could be processed and panned separately.

David Nahmani Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I hear two guitars as well. They probably didn't record them the same way, with the same mic, maybe it's not the same guitars and they're not EQ'ed the same etc.. they definitely don't have the same place in the mix: One guitar is present, loud, and toward the center, while the other is softer, not as bright and more to the side.
