I don't disagree with Chili. The separate double track nearly always sounds better, especially if you mix one track lower than the other.
recording twice will definitely give a better sound unless your vocalist cannot perform the same way twice. If this is the case go with copying the track.

I wasn't disagreeing with Chili. The separate double track is what he's talking about.According to physics, if you take the same signal and duplicate it, it will still sound like the same signal, just louder. I think Chili is right on this.
Which is much better to record the vocal track twice or to copy it twice for mixing?

Ya know, you start a lot of threads asking questions and getting very good answers in all of them. The least you could do is come back and say thanks for the advice that you are getting.
Copy/paste DOES NOT work.
This is the same signal. it will phase. It will shift stereo image.
As has already been mentioned in this thread a few times, it will not sound like 2 vocal tracks. It will just sound like crap.If you copy your vocal track, (only copy) it will only sound louder, but...
I think what the other guys mean here, if you copy your vocal track, and shift it a few miliseconds to the left or right (in time, not panorama) it will sound like a second vocal track has been recorded due the slight time changes between the vocals (mainly in the pronunciation area) and so it sounds like two vocal tracks, when you only have one.
But: dont shift your second track to much, or the differences will sound like a deley instead of a second vocal track.
