On one song I am tracking the guitar is huge but at first I tried everything still didn't sound right. Time was passing and I still was trying to get the song going I then just went straight into the interface and concentrated on my playing watching my phrasing etc. The more control I played with the better the sound no bad notes taking up headroom.
I layered the first track but played it a little different each time about 3 tracks. Panned hard left and hard right and blended the last part with the left channel. Grouped those tracks and inserted Vintage Warmer and Roger Nichols Finis across that group buss and it was Wow! I watched a friend tame some unruly tracks he was working on with it so I went and bought it to use on a few things. I put it to work on that group buss and it was fat city.
Still the plugs didn't touch the signal until after it was recorded so it was mostly fingers that got the sound i was hearing in my head. I think I'm getting simple in my old age and i'm trying more a more musical approach to get what I want.
