"In your endeavor to make the FL Studio Slayer sound more realistic, we are first going to discuss a particular technique that I use when I want to do this. We are going to go over the mixer setup used to make the effects work for you in making the more realistic sound. I have already set up part of the setup, which is to have two different Slayers layered together so that they are played by the layer. What is going to happen is I am going to put one Slayer into the first mixer and the other Slayer into the second mixer. What I am going to do now is I am going to take the pan for each of these mixers, and pan one to one direction and one to the other. I am also going to take one channel and put it into this channel, so that both of these go through just this channel and then this channel goes out to the master. I am doing this because when I use either the JCM Marshall amplifier, or the Voxengo Boogex, it makes it mono. And, a real guitar played in a famous rock song that you know yourself, you might notice it is not mono. It is actually fairly good stereo. So, we are going to force it to be stereo by making our own left and right channel, and using our own third-party software. Either the JCM or the Voxengo. We will cover each of those individually in their own clips."
