Well...
Just curious if anyone has discovered any neat effects for vocals. I ust Cubase 5 and although I am satisfied with the way my vocals are sounding overall, sometimes I would like to thicken them up, or smooth them out.
I notice in alot of commersial tracks, (mostly dance) the vocals seem to have this dual effect. It's not a harmony, or a unison as far as I can tell, but after composing instrumental music for 8 years, I really could use any tips, tricks or, dare I say it, SECRETS regarding vocals.
Any good plugin reccomendations would also be welcome.
Thanks everyone!

Most wave editor software is capable of doing this. I would recommand cooledit, allthough there will be others coming up with other editors.. I did not enhance voices though as I do use external gear to do this., but I know it can be done by software. Just load the wave or aif file and you will enjoy the possible and weird effects... Probably there are some tips about your specific question on the website of Syntrillium as there was a user group I can remember...I haven't been there a long time , so I don't have the link, but any search on the web will find it..

oh hi...a real live thread! Yes, the effect precedes the source. since every thing goes to the right, you have to turn the wav around backwards to pre convolve. But remember too long = poopie, and it's not a turd you can polish either! When convolving, ALWAYS have undo enabled!
MORPH!
Oh alright then here's the secret. first thing is convolving is a bitch. If you always remember that it will be a beautiful bitch LOL You can develop the knack to convolve by starting out with convolving a very echoey reverberence. Sample different profiles and record the results remembering the distances between the pulsations of the signal. you will find your limitation of that originating signal that way too. It develops an acuitie to doing it. Sort of like LOL Majongg! After a while you will know what you can do with what, notha tip: vowel portions of the vocal convolve in a more conformative manner than consenants, which sound way cluttered, BUT are the best convolutions of all if you just give them a feather's touch worth. The result is that very trippie fry on acid sound but it is so sensitive, you have to just barely add a profiled amount to get that sound. ------------------ MORPH!
