Kjetil,<br><br>Sorry for the delay--for some reason Gmail flagged the message as spam :(.<br><br>I'll definitely try the panning technique on the guitar tracks, and the Jamin preset is a big help!<br><br>Unfortunately, a big part of the problem is that I recorded the guitar tracks quite some time ago, before I had a good handle on guitar recording techniques, so these tracks have less to work with than I'd normally have, as they were direct-recorded with way too much distortion...
