Using the “PT” technique
Hey fam!
I just wanted to share a fun video with you all…
I recorded this live onto a zoom recorder and processed it afterwards. The DI guitar felt a bit thin and then I remebered what our MP legend @-PT had done to an acoustic guitar track on a seperate thread on this platform to “warm” and “thicken” up the guitar. He duplicated the track and then Low passed the 2nd track so only the bass frequencies remained. He then mixed that warm bass frequency back into the original track and it had a huge impact. The “FULL PT” is when you also drop the duplicate down an octave. I tried that – but in this case it sounded a little over the top. Anyways — here’s to PT and @dana and the rest of the MP fam. And if you ever get a chance to go to Cathedral Gorge state park in Nevada…do it!

Jesse my man,
You did such an efficient and succinct job describing my technique that I would ask your input on an acronym that failed miserably in my old neighborhood.
L, (left of R) (right of L), R.
It was a trick for panning a signal with delay rather than amplitude. Better for the listening audience, well outside of the center and hearing predominantly only one of the speakers, to not miss out on the opposite side hard-panned information. The folks in the middle would hear hard panned info as hard panned info. Peeps hearing only one side of the speaker system would hear the opposite side later, but just as loud.
The Hoss Cartwright Effect?
ps… Just to clarify terms here, I need to ask…
To qualify as “legend,” and that’s very generous of you to say, one is still alive, correct?
It’s that “Lifetime” status one wants to avoid, eh?
