My friend (bandmate) and I have been debating the fact of doubling vocals in the recording of our songs. As the singer, I like the sound of the doubled vocal because it fattens the sound up a bit and allows for the vocals to cut through and not seem small compared to the other loud instruments. I also think my voice sounds better when doubled rather than with just one track.

Hi all,

I'm new to computer DAW recording but have experience using dedicated multi-track digital recorders.

Anyway - this one has me frustrated and scratching my head.

My signal chain is the following:

Mic->Preamp->M-Audio Audiophile USB Interface->Mac (Logic)

How do "YOU" do this? When I try to double, it's real obvious it 2 takes. I'm not a great singer but competent enough to come close - they just don't merge...
Is most doubling just track "copy and delay"? How do you pan them?
How much value in 2 actual(as opposed to virtual ) tracks.

Could someone give me some tips on doubling vocals for affect. I'm recording a male trio and normally in gospel music you would record each line three times: one main vocal and two "stacks". However, each line is not right on with the previous in time and/or pitch (I know a little off is good but this is really throwing the entire thing off).

Que paso everybody? Is there way to produce a doubling effect for vocals using Cubase or adobe audition (cool edit pro)?

How do i get that effect where the vocal sounds doubled on hooks of rap songs? when a voice is panned to the left as to the right and you can tell it is. I've tried panning the vocals hard left+hard right, but it just appears as a "whole" vocal. Any plugins that'll do the job? vst preferbly.
