I had never even considered double-tracking vocals before reading this post on another forum where the author stated the following:
"Our producer wanted to put reverb on my voice, and I stopped him right away. First off, you need to double the vocals. Sing the song twice, pan one right and the other left. Then what you want to do is use a little (and I do mean a LITTLE) "Delay" on the vocals. You just want the delay to be tucked in the background to be ambient. It's just to smooth things out. Reverb makes things sound Karaoke, and you don't want that." Anyone with sufficient experience in recording voice want to chime in on this? Is this a common approach to recording vocals? Thanks for your input, Christian A. -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Reverb tends to make the voice sound too far away in the back,
In modern recordings, the crispier and present the vocals, the better This guy is really popular here in Colombia, -------------------- Visit my:
