Changed over to Reaper recording software. Takes a bit of getting used to but has fantastic options and great recording quality and handles VSTs much better than Mixcraft :)
I went direct with the Guitar through the Toneport GX/Gearbox and duplicated the track in Mixcraft and panned them just off centre and moved a 1/64th delay(I think) on one track so as to leave the Vocals/drums and bass in the middle of the mix.The Harp was done on the same setting as the vocal but again I duplicated the track but this time used the 1/64th ish trick again but panned them hard left and right.
