Hi all,
I'm mixing a song that includes guitar, piano, lead vocals, and a slew of background vocals all of which come from the same singer. The background vocal tracks have 2 or 3 parts with up to 4 voices on each part.... so about 12 voices in all. We're looking for a choir effect. Anybody have any hints into how I should eq these vocals so they don't produce dissonance (especially the ones in unison)? For example, should I eq each one slightly different so it sounds like a different voice? And also any advice on how to mix these so they lay easily in the track with the guitars and piano? Any tips on reverb or compression? I know each case is unique, but I wondered if anybody has tackled this before with success.
Thanks in advance.
