If you're into recording guitars and want better-sounding mixes, do yourself a favor and stop obsessing over the following things:

1. Amp Sims

Endlessly trying and tweaking different amp sims is a colossal waste of time.

If your tone isn't great and easy to dial in within a few minutes, you're probably using the wrong IR.

Amazing guitar tones can be achieved with even the free amp sims available today as long as they're paired with a quality impulse response.

​2. Quad Tracking

​If you want "bigger" sounding guitar tracks, avoid recording unnecessary layers.

Recording more than one well-tracked rhythm guitar per side will often make your mixes sound cluttered and less clear.

​3. Panning

​Guitars are one of the easiest instruments to sit into a mix. The trick is to NOT overcomplicate things like the panning of your guitar tracks.

Pan your rhythms 100% L & R and call it a day. Panning them inwards will only make your mixes sound smaller.

​4. Input Levels

​Here's all you need to know about input levels: Don't clip on the way into your interface when recording.

​There you go...that's all you need to know. Overcomplicating this process is 100% unnecessary.

​Hear me talk more about these topics using real-world examples in this video.
