Voices and Back Voices

[Alan Parsons]

It's always difficult to define an "approach"

In terms of specifics - usually a Neumann Tube/Valve 47 for vocals with a Fairchild Limiter. Possibly a little High end (2 or 3dB) added at 10k shelf. Female Backing vocals would have been the same mic on an Omni pattern with the girls gathering around it.

I am never afraid of spreading sounds in stereo. Most things that are double tracked other than lead vocals get placed hard L and hard R.

Too many recordings sound almost mono. A problem with many modern synths I might add.

Hope this helps

Alan
