On another note...what about widening a vocal to take more space in the mix. I've tried copying the track and nudging it and then panning it. Any other tricks?
Hi.

I only do mults and splits on analog since i tend to mix on a console.

Also the processors you use are key and the best ones for this purpose are analog as well.

I believe the same theoretically should apply when mixing on a DAW minus the latency involved.

Widening a vocal?

Do you mean lead or back vocals?
