My GUY, growing up listening to your god-tier post-hardcore mixes I never thought I'd get this insight straight from the source. At this point, I will admit that I have picked up a lot of these tips either through hours of tutorial digging or hours of experimentation, but the sauce is all here, and clear, and from the man himself. Thanks Joey.

Thank you, Joey! Very informative video!👏
This video is a wealth of knowledge! Probably one of the best channels out here!
So many great tips in just one video! Amazing as always!
Sounds amazing Joey thanks
Thanks for the tips Joey!
That's a treasure chest of information, thank you for sharing!
This is pure gold man
On a quad track recording I particularly like the blend between 2 tracks recorded on a bridge humbucker and 2 recorded on neck+bridge splited coils. Great blend with the seymor ducan sentient/nazgul.
Always usefull tips, thanks JST!
Great hints. Thanks
Awesome tips. Thanks man.
Fantastic Video! Thank you!
Man, Sturgis is the frikkin god of metal mixing and tone. Toneforge Jeff Loomis changed my life. And this video was a game changer for my guitar sound, not just the double/quad tracking but also the use of atmospheric cleans and the use of effects to create texture. We bow in awe.
This was very helpful. Noticed my mistakes right away. Thank you!!!
Helpful Lesson! Thanks!!!
Please make more of these. Like... so many. I'll give you a hug and a free song.
You‘re awesome! Thank you!

Mann I just found this channel by chance... This is hands down my favourite mixing/producing channel! It's like watching a TV show and it is everything Nail the Mix should have been! Focused and to the point!!
I learn more in the 9 minutes your video last, than in years trying wrong ideas, SUPER GREAT VIDEO.
Great channel, my new favorite place to check out with a cup of joe
Great Video!! Thank You!
Nice video! Very helpful 👌👌
Lots of good tips here!
Excellent - thank you
The song you featured in this video is BANGER! Very Scandinavian melodic style, love it.
This is AMAZING!
So good tutorial video.
REALLY COOL VIDEO!
I love the tone you achieve with the guitar, it reminds me a lot of Cathedral! Cheers!
Great info here, for sure
These were some cool tips!!
Some of my favorite guitar layering is what Ken Andrew’s did on Failure’s Fantastic Planet… so good.
Great vid one of the best I’ve seen regarding multiple guitar tracking! As a studio and touring guitarist first from the late 70s hard rock 80s glam,metal and virtuoso and still playing I have always struggled with getting that big sound with separation definition and clarity God knows I have everything from radial for RE-amping, axe Fx and every plug-in emulator available, Ox box, Torpedo, tons of vintage heads and cabs some great mics But no goddamn patience! I’m also very interested in this Mutt Lange technique Thanks
This was so helpful. I was wondering about quadruple layering in choruses too, and now I’m excited to do it and alter the tone a bit. Thanks!

Do you hard pan all the tracks? Do you ever do like 80% left and right for specific stuff? Always was curious about that.
The thickening 🤘🏽
Joey the Legend!
Thanks dude.
The lead guitar section was SUPER useful - thanks Joey! I'd been struggling with lead guitars so this helps give me a little bit of a foundation to come up with something unique. Thanks again!
I never thought of processing my FX post-record on the DI... Thank you!
Using that high end Gio. Nice👌
Wow! Thank you for this GREAT video! This opened my ears to create better-sounding guitars in my songs. Mucho Thanks!!
Dat kul man 👌🏻
a goldmine!
the song itself is amazing
sweet thank ya
Nice video! Trying to break into metal production and this helps alot. There are plenty of techniques I've used dozens and dozens of times before but its nice to see them being repeated here. Thanks!

What would I do without these videos... But Joey, could you maybe do a video about the important balance between the Bass and guitars (especially in the more heavy-ish genres)? "The key to a great guitar tone, is the bass" is a quote I think I once heard in one of the many URM Academy videos on YT
This man speaks fcking truth to power! 🤘
I totally forgot that the amount of layers affect the size of the overall mix. I feel dumb after that one but this will help me so much!
I love u joey !
Thank you for the info! When quad tracking, do you hard pan guitars 3 and 4? Or do you bring them inward more? Maybe even expanded further out? Or do they sit on top of the already hard panned guitars 1 and 2? Thank you!
Awesome video! Btw, how do you do that mouse selection around 1:45?

Man, I really gotta stop watching your videos while I’m on a timeline…now I gotta go quad-track a chorus 😢
Joey giving away all the secrets.
I’d be interested to see how you would mix a indie rock band.
The master of production ! Thanks for all.
Hey man,really loved your way. Could you please explain that rhythm section chop in a brief. Thanks.
I always quad track my rythem guitar tracks for the chorus and then double track in the verse
The man the legend the vst plug-in...
Awesome! Quick question! If you have 2 guitarist doing different riffs, do you double them, hard pan? Then merge and Pan those 2 performances L R?
Dope
When do you decide to track mono and track sterio ? Does it depend on the project / song your working on or is there another aspect to it ?
I love guitar left high end thinner, right guitar high end like thinner, duplicate left and right then make the guitars more thick mid range and blend them in all together. 100/100 high end 76/76 thick end. 🤘
8:57 - That man right there is a God among men
great video especially about the tape/foam - any products on the market for this?

Gruv gear sells stuff for $20 or more, but I've found that a velcro cable tie with the loop side on the strings does the same job, and you can get a huge roll of them for the same price. But the specialized products are more aesthetically pleasing. Don't forget the tremolo springs as well.
This is gold! 🤘😁 and... that's reaper? What skin? 😯
Do you pan the quad track guitars hard L and R or are you off setting a pair to like 75% or something?
Do you double track at once or in separate takes?? Or phase cancel issue?
Please make Toneforge available on the M1 chips! 😫
How did you get reaper to look like that? I have the same theme I think but your colours are more vibrant
The double track performance dropping back a few ms with different mics were to I buy this from?
I'd like a tutorial on how you setup reaper to be so pretty!
are all of the pannings hard left and right ? for leads also?? thanks
I heard that Attack Attack riff ;)))
Wait, was that “All My Life” by Attack Attack! I heard?? 👀
What theme are you using in Reaper?
How do you make this gradient color tracks???
What is the name of the mic SIM unit did you say tunforge
Is there a link to the song @ 8:29?
Hey Joey! How you been?
What DAW are you using?
Anyone know what Reaper theme this is ?
How would you go about panning the guitars where there is 2 distinct guitar parts? Such as harmony guitar riffs etc? I get the double track each guitar and pan L+R but how would this work for harmonies that are panned L+R without having both parts of the harmony in both ears? Hopefully I've explained this well enough 😅
2:47 is this attack attack? sounds like a riff from the newer ep
I would pay money for a start to finish recording and mixing/editing tutorial from joey. Is that already a thing anywhere..?

How come when I record guitars they sound terrible and quiet hard panned left and right, but sound good when panned like 75% or less?
