Recording one guitar guitar. Some plugin to change wav ramdomly?
Hi,
As we know is couple tricks to simulate two guitars from one guitar track, for example duplicate track and apply ~8ms delay then hard pan left/right both tracks.
Problem is that above example (and other similar tricks) are relate to one guitar wav. It means that both tracks base on the same information from one wav.
When we recorging two guiatrs (two takes), even on the same settings (pre, amp, fx etc.) second guitar will never be the same as first and this is one of benefit doubled guitar track.
Question: is some plugin which can be used to apply some ramdomly changes to vaw in other to get slightly changes? Something like MIDI humanize?

Just a hobbyist here, I started out duplicating my guitar tracks, then I heard some recordings here where people recorded each track separately. The latter provided a much better sound, at least to my old ears.
So I started doing that and found I could record the second track faster than I could tweak the duplicated track with plugins etc.

If you only have a single guitar taket that you want to double, one way that might work is to cut the copy up in pieces and move the pieces on the time line so that no piece plays in parallel with its original.
For guitar played to a click, this is easy. if not played to a click, it is this possible but sometimes requires some stretching to fit the copied piece into the place they it is put.
This works batter than the Haas thing as it is mono compatible.

Thanks. This is some solution, but require minimum 2 bars with the same phrase in tempo (click). Also is time consumption while editing job.

What's the goal here? Is this about dialing up a live performance template? So that you can play live and have a doubler effect? That would be reasonable.
If you're making a studio recording, you could probably record a few takes and get a solid double a lot quicker than trying to fake it. Since faking it introduces the challenges that it does.
Just my 2c

You could try using some saturation and different cab-IR (impulse responses) from those on the 'first' copy.
But before that maybe you could try with Melodyne DNA features and adjust pitches, timing... quite laborious and tedious but might work, as next to it you will apply the different amp-sim + cab-IR.
But honestly... for that time... you could have recorded separate quad guitar tracks. So... is it worth it at the end?

Thanks Glennbo. That's really cool... though for the life of me I can't figure out how you did it. For instance, if I wanted to adjust the ratio of volume on track 1 to delay on track 2, or volume on track 1 to pitch on track 2, where is that to be found?

Open one of the FX and click the Param button. Go down to FX Parameters List, and Parameter Modulation/MIDI Link. Click on the item that has the checkmark, and that's the panel doing the modulation.
BTW, I should have mentioned that because of the high latency of ReaPitch, you should prolly bypass it while recording, and then enable it on playback.

Thanks. I sure have a lot to learn about this.

tomo, taking the time to do what Fabian is talking about is what good audio engineering is about. Not only that but it produces the best results.

Glennbo, did you check the phase between the two tracks?

No, but the clone track is being dynamically delayed and pitch modified, so I would guess they aren't in phase.
I threw that together playing back an existing guitar solo as the source. Later I plugged in my SG and the instance of ReaPitch has so much latency, you can't really play live through it, so I temporarily bypassed ReaPitch, recorded a new track of guitar, then enabled ReaPitch and got the doubling effect.
Edit: I put an existing track of some clean mono jazz guitar through the track template. First is the original mono track, followed by the same guitar played through the track template. The pitch and delay of the right side is very subtle, only changing by a few cents and milliseconds, but it makes it so the left and right are not identical.

Also, if you wanted the delay and pitch to be more random than modulating on amplitude, you could turn on the LFOs and add constant movement of pitch and position to the amplitude modulation.

Yeah, the second one was much better, better tone.

You bet! If you pan both sides to the center, you'll hear some chorusing and slap, but when they are on opposing sides, it's not noticeable, and they are not identical.
Oh, and if you want to monitor through while playing, just temporarily bypass ReaPitch because it has high latency for live monitoring.
