Tight dense harmony vocals

[alanfc2]

In my quest for
Tight dense harmony vocals, I'm looking to make them omnipresent, unobtrusive, safely out of the way of the lead.
Our songs have 15-20 vocal tracks each. (Rock)

not like Def Leppard

Like Destiny's Child meets the Beach Boys meets Green Day at an Eagles reahearsal.

I assume I'll send them to their own bus, and treat them the same, but what gives that =tight= sound?

My assumption/theory= compression, bright EQ, panning L/R but not too far.?

thanks

Wow excellent article.

What a coincidence! This album I heard at my parents over the holidays, and it made me look closer at our vocals and how I was mixing them.

Another source of info that states the need for an external clock source regardless of the converters being used. Hmmmmmm, one of these days.
