Got around to doing some George Lynch / Dokken recently. Here's It's Not Love. As usual for my videos, I removed the original guitar tracks and added ack all the parts. Used a Fractal Audio Axe FX3 for the tones.

So I went back and added two more tracks panning each one 56% left and right respectively. Big difference. Huge guitars now and much more present in the mix. Thanks for the feedback on the tune and the tips. Much appreciated.

Cool - I may go back and add the two 56% panned tracks in the session. Curious to hear it. I know that Jerry C used a tons of amps recording that record.

I used Lalai (online service) to remove the guitars from the original track. They do a pretty good job on most songs and they did really well on this track going after the guitars. On my version, I used a Friedman model with a GB cab on the left track and the same Friedman model with a V30 cab...

My take on this classic Cantrell tune. Used an Axe FX3 with stock cabs and presets.

Thank you. 🙏

Working my way through Dancing Undercover. Here's Dance. All guitars removed from the original track. Added each one back using my Axe FX3.

My take on this Ratt tune from Dancing Undercover. Tones from my Axe FX3.

My take on this tune by Volbeat. Lots of guitar parts in here.

Thanks. Had not played that guitar in a while.

Axe FX3 for tones. Made backing track without guitars as the starting point.

Steel Panther was recently auditioning for America’s Got Talent with this tune. I removed all guitars with Lalai and added the parts back with various tones from my Axe Fx.

Great guitar tone and overall mix. I have to ask - stock preset? Which cab IR?

Right on -- I have the same experiences with many of the stock presets. They require a bit of tweaking -- generally brightening on the top and thinning out some mud in the lower mids. I SPDIF into Reaper and sometimes apply some EQ there to get a closer match to various records -- think VH1...

I used the stock preset The Brown Sound with no tweaks to the amp settings. No drive pedals. The preset does have the Jose mod switch activated. Here's a view of the amp controls: Here's a view of the Cab Preamp that I did activate and modify. The cab is a stock IR "4x12 MAR PR-M20B FULL...

CAE MC406 buffer - yes. Only used to send a hotter signal to a DI box when tracking a DI. Not used here.

For my test (not in the video) I only ran the VST on the guitar track

You sir are a genius. Downloaded a clone VST of the Pultec and within minutes I have gotten closer to the DD tone than ever before. Used my tracks from that video and dropped all DAW EQ for the guitars and replaced with the Pultec. Done. Sounds much more authentic. That high end shrill-ness...

It's definitely a unique sound. You don't realize just hw brittle it is until you try and recreate it. A lot of his older stuff is like that on the records. Guessing there was some magic dust being applied to the tracks after being recorded.

Sure. I'll post them here later today.
