i do not feel it

dapper tide
#

How do I make it more noticable?

#

Let me show a version with both tracks icolated

livid night
#

sure

dapper tide
#

i will try, i want to say the thing that kinda lead me to that is that i wanted to get that crunchy lo-fi rock type feel like in car seat headrest songs where its like all the frequencies are kinda crashing or sumthin but i will admit i dont know what i'm doing so if i do it i want it to sound cool like in references not just bad

#

obviously it doesnt quite sound like this

#

do you think it could be salvaged to get that typa sound or does it just not sound good in this song in which case ill reduce the clipping

are these the same exact library? if so then that's probably why i'm not hearing a difference, if they're playing the same articulation, it's just the same guitar samples being played twice

dapper tide
#

they are the same library but different presets

#

how do you suggest i do it with midi instruments

livid night
#

that's a bit of a tough one, if the library has the ability to change pick ups you can try that, if they recorded the pick ups individually then they would (should) have different samples entirely

another thing you could do is potentialy change the velocity to one of them, if they have different samples per velocity layer then they should have different samples

another thing is using a different library entirely

dapper tide
#

i dont know what a pick up is

#

probably the thing that picks up the sound of the guitar

#

lemme see if thats in the plugin

livid night
#

electric guitars have a group of 6 silvery dots on the bottom of the guitar where you strum, and usually has 2 or 3 groups fo them, these are called pick ups. the way an electric guitar works is you strum the steel strings, and those dots are actually magnets that pick up the vibration of the strings. this is then turned into an electrical current which is amplified. depending on where the pick up is, will change the way the guitar sounds because it's picking up different tensions of the string

dapper tide
#

ah

#

i could play around with these until they sound different enough

livid night
#

there's a multi track option, does that do anything?

dapper tide
#

ooh it does and it sounds cool

#

and for some reason it messed up some of the notes

#

maybe its like maxing out from having to play too many samples or something

#

yeah it works on 3

livid night
#

yeah so, i assume that button duplicates the guitar and pans them and avoids the same sample

#

i don't know, i don't have the library, but now you can use the stereo separation knob to spread the spacing out

#

and get a wider guitar

dapper tide
#

i already think this is an improvement

#

i will continue trying stuff

livid night
#

i agree

#

guitars feel like they take up more presence with the high end

#

feels like they're "breathing" now

#

in the sense that, they don't feel all stuffed up

dapper tide
#

yeah

#

tysm for the help

austere blaze

⚠️ @dapper tide, audio held for staff review.

dapper tide
#

hopefully that will get approved soon

#

i was messing around in the settings of the plugin and made one guitar slightly more delayed along with changing the panning and stuff to make them sound more seperate so hopefully it should be more obvious theres 2 guitars now

#

i think before i didn't pan them enougn + since i was cutting out high frequencies they both kinda blended together in the mid frequencies and werent distinguishable
