Channel 12: Electric guitar

Keeping in mind the balance with other parts, we will
lower the low range and boost the mid range of the
electric guitar, giving it a brighter sound. To restrain
the loudness, we will apply a soft compander with a
high RATIO setting.

Tutorial

Channels 13/14/15: Chorus

The chorus in channels 13 and 14 are the high (stereo)
+ low (monaural) tracks. High is panned to L and R,
and low is panned slightly left. Make appropriate
level and panning adjustments to create a good mix
with the chorus 3 (middle/monaural) of channel 15.
So that it does not interfere with the lead vocal, we
will emphasize part of the mid-range so that the voice
carries sufficiently. In addition, we will use a com-
pander on chorus 1 and 2 to restrain changes in
dynamics, tightening up the sound and cutting the
noise.
