I have chronic arhritis in all my fingers which makes 'doubling' almost impossible, especially on the faster numbers, so I am having to resort to other means.

In Mixcraft, is it possible to get the clear sound of two guitars as if doubling?

I would be grateful for any ideas.

Hi Clive

Not sure if this is what you mean... I've duplicated the rhythm guitar track just as an example.

First, select the second guitar track, then go to the sound tab. There you will be able to offset the selected track. Try small amounts first and then adjust to taste. In this example, I could go from 1.4.786 to say 1.5.0.

Hope this helps

You can also record your single guitar track then duplicate it. In the duplicate track, move the file ever so slightly to the right. This offsets the second track from the first and gives a "doubling" effect. There are numerous doubling effects VST's out there and many chorus effects act as doublers.

yeah this. just duplicate the track and play with it a bit to get the doubling effect you want

Thanks guys for your help.

The best way is steal parts. For example, if there are two or more choruses, paste a later one below an earlier one and vice-versa. You may end up with a few sections not doubled but you could get creative on those sections.

Thanks for that.
I’ll certainly try it.
