If you’re going for “My Heart Will Go On” Celine Dion-long sustained singing then a large and long reverb might work exceptionally well. The rhythm of the vocal can tell you if the reverb you’ve chosen actually works. Is the singer singing long sustained notes, scat singing, or rapping? These are some of the factors you might want to consider when choosing your vocal reverb. The reverb is used to give a sense of glued space to all the instruments, but the vocal space bus is dedicated to finding the perfect vocal sound.ĭepending on the type of sound you’re looking for, you’re going to approach this vocal space bus differently. That’s why I have a separate vocal space bus in addition to the instrument reverb. I tend to process my vocals a little bit differently than the rest of the instruments. Try it next time you want a dry vocal part that you don’t want to push way back into the mix. You can get a really nice wash of backing vocals if you have several panned vocals parts routed to a stereo chorus. Similarly, you can do the same thing with backing vocals. It’s a simple enough trick, and great for giving a little more breadth to your lead vocal. If you add a bit of the chorused signal underneath the lead vocal you’ll get a thicker sound, emulating a double-tracked vocal part. You can also try to use a simple chorus plug-in instead of a delay to double the vocals. An advanced way to do it is with two mono delays panned hard left and hard right with one pitch shifter detuning the vocal down 10 cents while the other pitches the vocal up 10 cents.Add the send under the main vocal track until you’ve achieved the desired ambience needed. Use a pitch-shifter to detune or pitch up the vocal about 10 cents.Send the vocals to a stereo delay with 21 ms on the left and 29 ms on the right.Because the delays on the parallel track are so short, it’ll give you a larger vocal without any real “space” to it. If you don’t have the time or budget to record a real double of the vocal, you can use this effects bus to create a pseudo double to thicken up your vocal track. I usually have a few different things on my ADT bus:Īll of these plug-ins do a variation of the same thing: make vocals sound like they were doubled. Bus 1 – Automatic Double Tracking and Doubling Bus Buses ready for routing whenever I need it.
