I smell home cookin!
I'm not known as a real good singer. On many demos I've done, I've used the technique of doubling the vocal track to give it more substance. By 'doubling' I mean singing the same part in two different takes on two different tracks and then combining them 50/50 or close to 50/50 on the mixdown, sometimes panned.*
I just wonder: is this just a cheap way to improve mixes with less than perfect singers, or is it a useful technique for mixing Perfect singers in the pros?
[*I suppose there is the notion that one singer singing badly by himself is nasty, but two bad singers together makes them sound like they are ON and CORRECT. Misery loves company??? hahahah. ]
