Yo whutup everybody im new here...

Just a question as to what kind methods everyine uses when putting a secondary ad-lib track under the lead vocals...

I like to put em at least a decibel under, and then cut out uneccessary parts of the wave, i also sometime drag certain parts or phrases to sync better.

I've been experimenting with Eq-ing the lead and ad-lib tracks differently to get a "fuller" sound... anybody got some other little tricks they use?
 
Do he be, or do he don't be, a Cool Edit question?

Hands up - he be?

I usually make the lead vocal a bit brighter than other vocals - I boost the main vox an octave about 2 dB at 5000 Hz, for instance - it helps it cut through a busy mix as well. Then I'll boost the backing vocals maybe around 3000 Hz - about 1.5 dB maybe, and about an octave wide as well. I run a highpass filter on both of them at about 90 Hz to get rid of low end noise and rumble. Depending what else is going on in the mix, I might do some narrow cuts in the lower mids - maybe around 400 Hz - but most of the time I like to leave the vocals intact and cut other stuff like guitars and bass and drums.
 
Hey dobro, where can i find the "High-Pass Filter" effect?

For those other points, should I tweak those settings in the "Graphic" EQ rather than the buttons on the multitrack view?
 
"Hey dobro, where can i find the "High-Pass Filter" effect?"

It isn't an effect. It's a type of EQ. Click Effects>Filters>Parametric. Use the Low Shelf setting there. (I don't think Cool has a highpass setting.)

"For those other points, should I tweak those settings in the "Graphic" EQ rather than the buttons on the multitrack view?"

Nope. Parametric's way better. For one thing, in Parametric you can decide how much of the entire frequency range you want to apply EQ to. Start with a Q of 1.3 and tweak from there (the Q setting is in the 'Width' column). As for the EQ in Multitrack View - nah, I've found it's not as good and precise as the EQ in Edit View - the multitrack EQ is useful for quick adjustments to a session in Multitrack to see what things can sound like. For serious mixing, use something with more precision.
 
Yo crispy try this right here don't just put them a decibal under the lead turn it down enough to where it blends in with the lead because you don't want it to stand out to much but you do want it to be heard so you just have to make it blend in
