seems to be some super bright parallel comp and super heavy reverb, likely with a lot of automation to keep some clarity. I don't listen to Grimes at all so this is just on first listen. May include her in a future video though!
I literally just finished your Phoebe video and was totally blown away! Killer work, pumped to work my way through your videos and watch whatever you put out next :)
I think it could be a mistake to process two tracks in a stereo group. Let's say you use one (stereo) compressor: it will react to the loudest parts of any of the tracks you combined. A loud part in one track might duck a softer part in the other track. It would be better to compress each separate track. If you're worried about cpu: bounce the processed audio down.
True, but also for this type of application where you’re trying to make 2-3 vocals sound like one, that can actually work to your advantage. There’s some processing you have to do on individual channels though like autotune cause it’s monophonic, I should’ve clarified that. What I do now is individual processing for the lead vocal to have 100% control, then bus processing for all backing vocals. Seems to do the trick!
Dude, this is amazing! You're incredible I would love to hear you talk about how you approach creating harmonies. Do you do it by ear or do you follow any specific rules?
great question! although i do have a theory background, i like to create them by ear just by improvising and then reworking things until it sounds right
please do one on grimes. her vocals on Visions and Halfaxa are so otherwordly and I can't find much about how she does it

Not if you use a compressor where you can unlink the left and right channels and then the compression works independently of each other. 😊
