How do you make double vocals sound good?
Experiment with delay times and variations in pitch using plugins like Doubler and Reel ADT, or record vocal doubles yourself. Check your mixes in both stereo and mono and optimize playback as necessary. When to double track vocals is entirely up to you.
How do you double your voice?
First, copy your vocal onto a second track, delay it by 80ms or so, then use a pitch‑correction plug‑in to pull it tightly into pitch, but not so tightly that it sounds false or robotic. Even if the original part was very well sung, there should now be enough pitch difference to create an audible effect.
How loud should vocals be?
Every vocal is different and every song is different as well. But generally speaking, lead vocal should be moderately loud or the loudest element next to your drums in your mix.
Do you double track bass?
This is correct. You do double track, but in a different sense than say double tracked guitars. Bass should normally be in center unless you’re aiming for some special effect, which rarely sound appropriate in a cookie-cutter mix. My recipe for bass comes down to two different tracks.
Should I double guitar tracks?
Double tracking has been done for a long time, but it was originally done to beef up 1 single guitar doing the same thing. If you have two separate, different parts then 1 take should be enough. Save double tracking for parts where it needs to sound extra thick and you are both playing relatively simple parts.
What is guitar doubling?
Double tracking simply means recording the same part twice and panning each to opposite sides. The guitarist plays a section of the song perfectly, then repeats it as closely as possible on a second track. This creates a wide stereo spread based on the unique nuances in timing and dynamics of each performance.
Should you double track guitar solos?
Having both double tracked stereo guitars as well as center leads will also make the mix sound big and full. Also, a single guitar tends to sound more “human” than a double tracked guitar which is ideal for solos to convey feel and emotion. About the bass stuff it depends on what sound do you want.
