    Making solo guitar cut through with spatial effects

    Andrew Sheps demonstrates a unique technique for making a solo guitar track stand out in a mix using spatial effects. By using a Fairchild compressor and creative modulation, they enhance the guitar's presence without increasing its volume. A slow flanger combined with a panner, inspired by Tchad Blake, creates movement that feels like it's outside the speakers. This is followed by widening with an S1 plugin. The result is a subtle yet effective stereo image that allows the solo guitar to cut through the mix while maintaining balance with other elements, preventing it from getting lost beneath the main guitar.
