I use Reaper for recording and was hoping you guys could give me some "rule of thumb" frequencies to use for polished recordings. I am not one of those people that beats things to death as far as tones because I'm not in a professional studio and doing this for money, etc. I just like doing recordings and letting friends listen, etc. Don't get me wrong, I want them to sound polished and professional but don't want to spend a ton of money, etc. I get pretty good results but want to do everything I can do get a good sound.
I already understand the low frequencies and cut the low end to avoid muddy recordings and to let the guitars fit in with the bass, etc. I'm really trying to focus more on the high frequencies. I want the guitars to pop out but not to sound harsh. I record a guitar part and pan it left and then record another and pan it right. I was curious if you guys try to match the EQ fixes so both guitar parts are in the same areas of the EQ?
Anyway, any tips would be great. Like I said, nothing too detailed or over the top just trying to get some polish into the tones. Thanks gents!!
