What do you mean by the guitar is clipping? Like you could tell we recorded it in sections?

All the parts were correct, it was just that the guitar was sketchy or not timed well with the drums. So we will practice the song till we can play it perfectly then record the instruments over again.
Unless you mean that the drums and guitar didnt seem to match in some places?
What time of the song did you notice this?

There is more but sorting these out should improve this alot. |
lol, we forgot to do this before uploading it. When we do, should we use the same one track panned left and right?
Or two seperatly recorded tracks of the same guitar part? Panned L and R?
And when panning the tracks, should they be about 75% to each direction?
Since there is only 1 guitar I guess I could say it plays lead and rythm...
But in the intro of the song, there are strums played about 4 times, and in between there is synth and "lead guitar" playing the same melodic part. These parts were recorded seperatly... how should I pan these?
Strums L and R? Lead and Synth in the middle?
And for the rest of the synth, sometimes it follows the guitar, and sometimes it's just there for ambient purposes. Should it be panned in the middle? Or have 2 tracks panned the same as a rythm would?
Bass? Panned same as the rythm?
Should all drums be in the center?
