Thanks in advance. |
IMO the time difference is what makes vocal doubling work, so as suggested have the vocalist move away from the mic a few inches, if they don't hold it exact, don't sweat it. I learned a lot about vocal tracking from a hip hop guy actually, he stacked vocals like mad. I learned a lot.
Think about panning also. Panning can add another dimension to stacked vocals
