    1:14
    1:48 DPDP - Duplicate, Pan, Delay, Pitch.
    2:12 Duplication and panning. Right click > Duplicate Track. Tick Events and select repetition quantity.
    3:02 Select the new tracks to send them to one bus, holding Ctrl, select New Stereo Bus as their output. Change colour of bus.
    4:12 Set up the pan for the tracks.
    4:50 Add small amount of delay to the duplicates so they don't all happen at the same time. Preferences > Customisation > Nudge. Set Nudge 1 absolute time to 10 millisecs and 24 for Nudge 2.
    6:25 Press 3 and 6 on numpad to move it LATER, pressing 1 (and 4?) will move it earlier.
    7:04 Add delays.
    8:15 Listen test
    8:48 Add pitch variation to duplicates using Groove Clip. In Properties panel, Groove Clip > Stretch to Tempo. Apply -3.0 value. And so on.
    11:32 Blend the duplicates with the main vocal. Start with duplicates fader turned right down.
    13:00 Vary it, play with delay times, and the pitch variation. Try on parts other than vocals. Make variations on EQs in the duplicates.

    Mike, I tried your vocal thickening and it worked well. I add the differing EQs on each track as well. But I went a step further. I wanted to have a single vocal sound for the verses but wanted a "choir" effect for the chorus. So I routed all the duplicates to a VOX Dup bus and then used automation to have them come in and shine more during the chorus. Thanks so much buddy for the excellent content.

    • @joeshmoe7967
      @joeshmoe7967 Год назад

      Agree. One thing I hate about plug ins, is you get a million people sounding all the same. I hear it in Pop and 'New Country', where every record sounds like they all used the same 4 plugins. I hear a band live, and like them, then hear the record and I can't listen to it. - Cheers

  • @joeshmoe7967
    @joeshmoe7967 Год назад +1

    This is a more complex version of something I have played with from time to time. My approach changed the length and thus the timing to mimic 'doubling', as you never sing (or play etc) the song 100% exactly the same no matter how good you are.
    I wasn't adding the pitch changes, so i want to try that. I also was not working with 4 pairs. Good info, even though i don't use Cake Walk, this approach will work in any DAW. I will definitely watch other videos for tips and tricks that are universal in general. Always a good day when I learn something new. - Cheers

    @saitenkiller 4 года назад +3

    Very good video once again, thanks a lot! Funny enough, I've read about this delay/pitch trick on vocals in a mixing book (written by Uli Eisner) from the analog days and used it on my very first projects back in the early 2000s (on a Pentium 2, mind you...). It's a decent alternative to double tracked vocals in case the singer has trouble nailing down two tight tracks (which I was never really capable of...). So I highly appreciate the reminder to experiment with that technique again in upcoming projects!

    Hello,
    I'm an old timer, giggin' for over 50 years (guitarist) and I have used Cakewalk products since the days of DOS! Currently have Cakewalk by Bandlab & Sonar Platinum & lots of older versions! At one point, I thinking of going to Reaper or Studio One (not looking forward to learning a new DAW system)! But found the MIDI configuration on both were not up to Cakewalk’s so…I’m staying with Cakewalk as my main DAW!
    I work with a lot of GM MIDI files modifying and arranging for live backing tracks (BIAB and commercial files). I get around pretty well (especially on older versions).
    Question, do you have a basic tutorial on the Piano Roll…I mainly use the notation staff to fix and modify MIDI files?
    You do a fantastic job explaining Cakewalk and DAW recording topics so please keep it up (wonderful resource) I’ve looked at a ton of videos and yours are the best for my needs!
    Best regards,
    Orvil

    First off Mike, your tutorials are freaking awesome! I have learned so much in just the couple of weeks that I have been subscribed and wish to someday be as efficient as you are.
    I have a question regarding microphones, I have an MXL 990 and 991 condenser mic pack I purchased from Guitar Center years ago and haven't really used much because I have a hard time MAKING time for recording. My question/problem is that on a few of my vocal recordings, during playback, sound as if I have used a pitch shift and makes my voice almost shrill and quite thin. My recording booth is a small closet that I have added sound dampening padding to but I'm not sure if the space is just too small and still getting bouncing sounds or is my voice really that "off-sounding"? From different people I have been told that my vocals are smooth and strong but from what I am hearing, I think people are just trying to make me feel better. Can you make a video that shows more in depth, how to set vocal levels and any tips on getting that perfect track recorded.
    Much appreciation and thanx for taking the time. 🤘😵‍💫👍

When I click on 'stretch to tempo', I get an error about hidden data beyond slip points. I hit OK but the error appears multiple times and then the session bombs out. Any tips on working with split clips?
