Love putting the chugs only up the middle and have the entire riff double or quad tracked in stereo.
I don't double track anything anymore, I used to do it on everything but so bored with it now. I'm more interested in 2 parts interacting for size rather than doubling width. Plus for me the most interesting music tends to be recorded using a solid backing track performed by the band then built up with overdubs rather than built up from multiple drop ins
I've gone the other way. Have always thought one guitar track only is best. Perhaps some contrasting parts on a bridge or chorus but with riffs one guitar only.
Last few tracks I have double tracked and I really like them. I make no effort to play them exactly the same however, if anything I like variations to keep a bit of movement, but that goes with the style I'm after. I don't really want tight guitars however, that's no fun.
I know traditionally for a 3 piece everything is right up the middle but I really like a slight pan left and right for guitar and bass - maybe 15% ish.
Doesn't seem to affect the weight of the track but gives it a bit of space while keeping drums and vox in the middle. Gives me a bit more of an old live performance feel from the very old days when the onstage amps were doing all the work and not going into the PA as much as these days.
