| I am sort of out of the loop nowadays, but I worked on a lot of big R&B projects about 10 years ago - the way those guys would do it was usually 3 or 4 singers at a time on each harmony part - one one mic, stack each part maybe 3 or 4 times, then maybe do 2 or 3 passes with split harmonies. We would usually fill up 16 or 18 tracks on the 2" (told you it was back in the day). Panning depended on the track and they were generally left relatively dry, as all the stacks give the natural chorusing effect. Also, with all those stacks, you leave out the hard consonants on the later tracks so the "t"s and stuff don't kill you at the end of phrases. |
