Doubling vocals usually shows up in just about any modern recording.
But I find it difficult. Not so much the timing, which if you know the melody you should be able to sing it again.
But the little nuances that make each take unique sometimes gets annoying.
How many times has a singer done a performance at a studio and when done the producer might say...THAT'S THE TAKE!
So, how do you do it again, if that was THE take.
I find it easier in phrases that dont have vibrato in them, but when singing vibrato, I dont believe the vibrato comes out exactly the same way twice, subtle inflections one way or another but this tends to make the track messy. Or shouts, screams, whispers, gulps, sighs, I mean how do you get those exactly the same twice.
I mean if you record the perfect vocal, what are the chances of recording it again 5 minutes later?
I found every take is slightly different, and I know that is why it has the effect it does, but it needs to be as close as possible to the original to work right, and I find it hard to do it.
How do you achieve this?
