Discover The Secrets Of Double Tracking Vocals For Dance Music

Double tracking is a great way to get a really full and rich vocal sound for your productions. In this short video from the full course Dance Music Sound Design 103: Vocals, expert producer Adam Pollard shows you the technique behind this essential production trick. First you'll see how to use specialised effect plugins to simulate a double tracked vocal, employing timing and tuning shifts to create the desired effect.  

The second technique, which is the more traditional approach, is to simply duplicate a single vocal clip and then stereo pan one copy to the left and one to the right. You can then apply different processing to each side to spice things up and create the desired end result.
