Doubling

One thing I really like to do to create that thick wall of sound is to double the guitar.

Basically what you do is juz simply duplicate the track. There are two schools of thought here, when you double a track, ur juz increasing the volume by about + 3dB and some people claims that instead of duplicating the track you can juz increase the volume by +3 dB.

What I usually do is to duplicate the guitar and reduce the overall volume of the guitars by 3 dB and to my ears, it sounds a lot thicker, giving the guitars more texture, filling up the space in the mix.

Or even pan them a bit to each side, and even give them seperate reverb and delays. That really makes it stand out in the mix.
