I set this to shift the pitch up my one octave. On the “Octave Up” track I added one of Reaper’s bundled VST plugins called “ReaPitch”. On the “Raw Guitar” track I clicked on the “io” button, and added a new send, to route this signal to the “Octave Up” track. I then set up a second empty track which I called “Octave Up”. For this I used the neck pickup on my Hohner G2T, plugged into a Line 6 Pod XT Live (because it happened to be handy). So my first step was to record a single track of plain 6 string guitar. The B and E have an identical string tuned in unison.

The E, A, D and G all have a second string that is tuned one octave higher.

It set me thinking about whether you could mimic the sound of a 12 string in post-production, using Reaper and some of the free VST plugins that I have installed.īefore we dig into the steps I followed to do this, lets just take a minute to look at the way a 12 string is tuned. If you listen to it in isolation is is far from perfect but, especially when put into a mix, it is definitely usable. Now I have a Line 6 Variax, as does one of the other contributors and the Variax does a half decent job of simulating a 12 string. As we’ve been sharing out the various tasks and jobs somebody mentioned that they didn’t have a 12 string guitar. The song chosen is Pink Floyd’s “Hey You” from The Wall. On the Six String Bliss forum I’ve got involved in a collaborative recording project where we’re going to document a lot of the background discussions and processes that go on, both so that we can find out more about how each other works and to pull together a “how to” guide (no doubt with elements of “how not to” as well).
