Ironic part of that is, worse' the voc, harder it is to get a 'good' double.
And vise verse'.. the less you want to need it.
... Just wondering do u guys still double track your voice? If so how do you pan the two tracks?
Is double tracking when you physically sing the same vocals twice over (I sometimes do this with my acoustic guitar by having the mic in 3 seperate positions for a fuller sound), or do you mean, singing once, copying the vocals, and then pasting them on another chanel and then changing the eq etc?
Interesting thread.
I've never thought of double tracking my vocals - probably because I'm not the greatest singer, and I very rarely sing the song exactly the same. I do usually attempt 4 or 5 takes at vocals (straight after one another), then listen to them (alog with the guitar track) individually and then delete the bad ones, and take the best that's on offer. If I play them all together then they're all over the place.
I have a habbit of changing the rhythm of the vocals every time, nothing major, just a 1/2 second longer pause here, an off-beat start somewhere else.
I've got to do some vocals on a track that I was messing around with over the weekend - I've got my guitar tracks laid down (was messing around with endless amp settings) and I'm determined that I'm not going to let this one be another 80% completed track before moving onto my next one.
Ohhhhh, just had a thought - Is double tracking when you physically sing the same vocals twice over (I sometimes do this with my acoustic guitar by having the mic in 3 seperate positions for a fuller sound), or do you mean, singing once, copying the vocals, and then pasting them on another chanel and then changing the eq etc?
Yeah, I don't know enough about the real ADT to say, but I can't imagine what more the Waves plug-in would give. As much as I like Waves plugs, they're really expensive and now I think they're slapping "Abbey Road" on everything as a marketing tool and probably over-hyping and over-pricing everything.I've used that one. I think it is pretty good, not sure what the Waves version gives that this one doesn't, but the price is very affordable.

I may post some results if I'm brave enough
