Hi Friends, I hope you're doing marvellously well! Many of you have emailed me asking about Cubase! It's a DAW that's been around for many years, one of the first and best ever MIDI softwares it rapidly has become a wonderful DAW for audio editing and mixing as well! Here our friend Chris Selim demonstrates how to achieve the Vocal thickening trick in Cubase that so many people love to us! Thanks ever so much for watching! Many thanks Warren
I'm a long time Cubase user - since 2003 (and a recent PLAP member). Came here after watching Warren's thickening video and wanted to see what would be different in the Cubase video. Man, I learned a couple of Cubase features I never had looked into. Double Bonus! Thanks!
Wow, I've been trying to thicken up my vocals in so many different ways, but nothing has had the effect I really desired. This is the one. Thanks so much for this!
Great explanation of how to do this effect manually. I must point out, however, that there is in fact a plugin preset in cubase that does almost the same effect. If you open the "cloner" plugin, which is stock with cubase, there is a preset called "4 voices" and it is essentially the same thing, pitch shifting and delaying multiple copies of the track in stereo. The great thing is you can set it up as an effect and send to it just like a reverb or delay.
Hi SignalsMusic yes, there are great plugins that do similar things! This really depends on what kind of controllability you want! I love having printed effects! Obviously not everyone does! Have a marvellous time thickening vocals! Many thanks Warren
Thanks for pointing that out. You can definitely use Cloner or other plugins. My intention in this vid is to work this technique without the use of any plugins. Which gives me a bit more control overall. Like Warren, I like to print my effects when I can. Thanks for your input on this, much appreciated :-)
gosh! i am a cubase user that i learned from my dad and uncle from before cubase sx. so i did not recognise this delay section, what it is really done. thanks alot. it is amazing!
I am recording an a capella song and just stumbled across your video as I was having trouble with the warmth of my lead vocals. That trick really worked - thank you very much :)
Thanks for the video. I will be using this technique, gratefully, but with a heavy heart, for it definitely makes the vocal sound more "produced", which is what we assume people want, in the same way that many producers seem to assume that people want autotuned vocals, but it sounds in your case (as eg at 7:22 when it's dry) like you have a beautiful vocal that stands on its own two feet. When you add that effect, it adds a sheen, but it loses something.
I've literally never messed around with those settings, and wondered what they were for.... all the while doing this manually and chopping and adjusting like one of Dave Pensado's videos lol. OMG... You just saved me tens our hours of my life back. haha. Thank you so much for this.
Holly cow! I was going nuts on what's going on with my mic, voice, equipment, etc and then I found this, I just tried and damn I'm in heaven!!! THANK YOU!!! I have some french rap songs on my channel, the next step is to learn about the effects I can apply to get a nice sound...
Similar principle that Eddie Van Halen did with his guitar rig in the 90s he used 3 cabs, the two outside cabs were wet , the center was dry. The left outside cab was pitched a few cents up, and the right one a few cents down, and the center one was dry, he used an eventide H3000 rack harmonizer for this
I use a slightly different approach. I double my vocals (sing them twice) and add these thickening only the doubled recording, plus whispertrack and doubler. But I actually wanted to say: Great and extremely well explained tutorial, really great.
Very cool. I was especially pleased with how subtly it thickens the line. I definitely see a lot of use for using this on choruses and other “big” parts of a track. Thanks so much for sharing. On a side note, it took me by surprise to hear her singing in French at first. I thought I was losing my head. Haha. Lovely voice though.
I have seen a tutorial simmilar to this technique. The difference was, the offset of the thickening tracks was always negative, so they played sooner than the main lead vocal. Then they used a delay plugin on each of these tracks with only wet signal and delay time modulated by LFOs (I believe these were S&H synced to the song tempo). These eight track were shifted in time by a variable ammount and were shifting constantly, so the final effect was like there were 8 diferent takes on the vocals.
Chris, this brings me to another question; what if you would do this trick with an instrument?... e.g. acoustic guitar or where I am now busy with with a nylon acoustic classical guitar.... would that thickening bring the required effect you think?
Hi Ruud Jansen that’s a marvellous question! I’ve used it many times on lead guitars! It pushes the solo forward really well! Any featured instrument could be if it from this effect!
Acoustic instruments. Best advise is. If you are a keyboard player and do have knowledge how to play. Sea - board. Than you can use Kontakt acoustic guitar. And play with sea board. It will change your life. Stereo out. Because mic setting is very important for acoustic recording for an example. AKG 414 But Chris thank you so much beautiful video. One part I didn’t understand. ( sorry for that ). The routing ? 8 mono Audio. But what you mean by mix vox buzz. Cause my routing I only see stereo out and no buzz. Pls advise.
7:06 I saw that little trick of you toggling Solo twice because Cubase actually doesn't activate sends in solo mode. Bit of a bug on their side? BTW did you go into compression on your VOX Mix to avoid a volume jump?
Nice to see you here :-) Yes, if you activate the Sends of a track in Solo mode, you will need to re-solo the track for the FX Tracks to follow... Now in my case, I did re-solo the track by habit but I didn't need to since the FX tracks were already in solo. I don't think it's a bug though, it's always been that way. Maybe they will upgrade this at some point. I have compression on my main vocal track and a bit on the Stereo Bus... Nothing to crazy. Thanks for you question bro!
I use cubase for rock and metal. didnt have alot of luck with pro tools on a pc it would stop working in the middle of a session not saying pro tools sucks. Haven't tried pro tools in years. Hell I'm still using cubase 7 lol thanks for video
It looks like you are using Cubase Pro. I am anxious to try this technique, but I have Elements 10.5 and don't get an option to "Global Transpose" anywhere that I can see. Does Elements have this capability, and if so where should I look to find the transposition control? Thanks for this tutorial, you have an excellent way of explaining things.
They're twins! media.gq.com/photos/59e78fa7855d3303830d1557/3:2/w_560/david-cross-apology.jpg But seriously, I did enjoy the video. Would love to see more Cubase focused stuff as that's my platform of choice.
Haha grey beard? I better not grow one or I might look like him too! Haha Happy to be able to showcase Cubase! We here at PLAP are about showcasing every DAW and bringing people together! No one platform is giving us any money so we are blessed to give real information and beholden to any Advertisers! Have a marvellous time in Cubase! Many thanks Warren
Wonderful, thanks Warren and Chris! Hey Chris, you actually use that Presonus M80 pre for much? I've had one for years, but due to having a good selection of pres, I mostly only use the M80 for extra stuff on drums like bottom snare mic, far room mic, etc.
Thanks for the great comment! Chris, can you take this one? I hear great things about Pre Sonus, but don't have that much experience with them! Have a marvellous time recording!
I mainly use it when recording drums for Over Heads, bottom sn, Room etc...My main preamps are the Vintech 473 which I like a lot. Thanks for watching!
MixdownOnline haha same! I actually use the IDSS knob as an eq! Roll it up past 50% on your rooms to tame the top end a bunch while adding some saturation at the same time. Win!
Hi love this trick just tried it on a couple of songs I’m working on. Thanks Just wondering if you can use same trick for accustom guitar maybe with 4 tracks? Thanks Adam
Wow thanks a lot for sharing this ... So useful! My request, I want to improve my voice compression , have some advice on how to EQ the voice and know how to deal with its space in the mix, can you help me please,
Great stuff Chris and thanks man..I have a question please.Whenever i create a new stereo audio track to record my vocal i cannot get a balance between the left and right,after recording the vocal and looking at the wave, the right side is much larger than the left and the audio gets one sided..Can you please tell me how to configure a stereo audio track properly please? Thank you sir. Reply
Hi my name is Nirmal F Robinson and recently I purchased Cubase pro 10 and want to know that when I record Vocal which plugins I can use only cubase pro 10 not external plugins.
So you first rout every lead vocals to your Mix Voc Bus and then rout that to the standard stereo out? That means you dont touch the single vocals but mix them all at once in the bus and then send THAT to the stereo out. Did I understand that right?
Would like to ask you I don't have nothing against alto-tune. But I just try not to use it if I don't have to. I just copy tracks and eq different and time adjust. I do rock and metal. So I'm I missing out on something?
Hi Chris, Are there differences in the doubling/widening characteristics using the technique shows here on this video and the technique were with 4 doubling channels using CB Cloner Plugin? Thanks for your great videos! Amram
Hi Chris, noob question (suffer me!) - i realize the waveform you used is single and not interleved. Is this how i should structure my wave forms for mixing? My stems are all interleaved after i rendered from Cubase and am wondering if this is a good idea, especially seeing that both you and Warren used single-part wave forms rather than interleaved ones.
Thank you Chris and Warren for this great Video. I have a question though. I've done this before but it sounds weird. I hear it on your vide as well. The vocal stack sounds artificial. English is not my first language so I am probably missing the correct terminology here. Kinda like robotic. Is it just me or is it suppose to sound like that. Could it be phase issues? When you slightly delay each track? Thank you!
(1). Is there any way to do this rather than adding extra 8 tracks to your project which could look massive in some projects where you have instruments?... (2) please can you show a video on midside processing in cubase without using plugin? Just the way you route tracks to tracks before the double effects in this video.... such video is very scarce for cubase users.
(1) To answer your question, you can simply add these tracks to a folder and close the folder which will then look like one track...or you can click on the Visibility Tab on the top left of the Project window and "uncheck" these same tracks so they're not visible anymore in your project but still active... (2) Yeah, I can do so :-) ... by the meantime, check out Frequency EQ (included in Cubase 9 +), it has an MS EQ option and you can also check out Voxengo's MSED (FREE) for MS processing.
il y a des Français qui écoutent. Some of us are bilingual😊. My voice was recorded on Audacity. On the Cubase 11 pro of the composer, it lacks energy and sounds muffled though the same mic was used. Will this trick help make my voice come out more is what I’m wondering… Subbed and 👍🏼 🦂😊❤️🌊
A cheap one, LE AI is the cheapest one i think. As a beginner you wont need any of the Pro Features, i am working with cubase for 5 years now and the only thing im missing (With elements though) Is that theres no Sidechaining and no Automation panel. In Ai you are limited to 8 Instrument tracks though. This is the main Point thats kinda annoying. If you want to do Hip Hop, Metal, Rock, Pop get LE AI, if you want to make Electronic Music, get Elements
Wow man, it really sounds so much better and you don't hear that it are multiple voices. Thanks for sharing this. B.t.w. what is the name of the singer and the song?
hi my fren iam khadka , i need to get help to know , i am using cubase 9.5 pro, but what iam trying to do , i am planning to make studio my studio ,so can i use my cubase on my studio and also home computer is this possible that elicenser use on computer to other computer please help me to make understand that thank you
Bonjour Chris. Est-ce que c'est volontaire de placer des (moins centiles) à gauche et à droite, plutôt que de les placer tous du même côté, disons les (-) tous à gauche et les (+) tous à droite.
Hey Chris Thanks for the previous response to my problem( hope that u remember)PLEASE HELP ME OUT once again , I m using UR22 mk II audio interface and the CUBASE AI 9.5, also the headphones and the condensed mic that come in the recording package . I m a beginner in music programming. MY problem is related with Audio recording. After I complete the drums and synths programming , when I try to record the vocal track I see that the whole other tracks get mixed with the vocal track automatically as if I have done the Audio MIXDOWN. This happens even when my headphones and speakers volume lowered to zero but does not occur when I record vocal in solo mode . I have set two individual MONO tracks in the input bus and one stereo track in the output. Please let me know if its a configuration problems?????
@@saturdaynightfeverDJshows Then what, I run all these tracks into a group track for automation? Should I do all the EQ and filtering on the group track or should I still do each track individually?
Great video! I have a question: Why do you use several copies of this vocal to create a thickening effect instead of using an onboard Cubase Pitch/Doubler Plugin like Cloner that offers 4 voices with individual fine tune and delay? Is the soundquality maybe better than those plugins?
Hi Friends, I hope you're doing marvellously well! Many of you have emailed me asking about Cubase! It's a DAW that's been around for many years, one of the first and best ever MIDI softwares it rapidly has become a wonderful DAW for audio editing and mixing as well!

thanks warren and chris !! cubase rules !!
Amazingly simple explanation!
Thanks Darlene! Yes Chris is marvellous!
Thanks IWant! Ha Chris rules!
Could you do a similar thing with strings and get a more realistic live effect?
I’m a Cubase user. I make electronic music. I’ll sure be giving this technique a go. Great video 🤘🏻
Thanks Tom! Have a marvellous time with this technique!
Thanks Tom, Enjoy!
Just use cloner or chorus effect, why suffer yours 🤔
Thanks Chris! Thanks Warren for introducing us to him!
You're very welcome! It's marvellous having Chris on the channel!
You're more than welcome...Thanks for watching :-)
Kudos for acknowledging other TH-cam tutors that did similar work using other DAWs. That's a pro move :)
I'm a long time Cubase user - since 2003 (and a recent PLAP member). Came here after watching Warren's thickening video and wanted to see what would be different in the Cubase video. Man, I learned a couple of Cubase features I never had looked into. Double Bonus! Thanks!
Fantastic! Wonderful to hear Stefan! Great to be able to help! Special thanks to Chris!
That's so cool Stefen, happy the video was helful :-)
Wow, I've been trying to thicken up my vocals in so many different ways, but nothing has had the effect I really desired. This is the one. Thanks so much for this!
You're more than welcome mr friend!
That's great to hear!! Thanks Chris!!
Sir, superb technique..keep it up the good work. God bless you.
heard this trick from some other sources but your explanation is (as always) the best Chris!
Thank you my friend :-)
Thanks Ruud! You Rock as does Chris of course! Truly marvellous all around! Ha
Clear & Precise as always. Thank you & Joyeuses fêtes to you and yours.
Merci Peter! Joyeuses fêtes à toi et ta famille :-)

Hi Eric Gonzalez thanks ever so much! Marvelous!!
You're more than welcome, thanks for watching!
Thanks Chris! Yes, you do Rock my friend!! Marvellous! Ha
Great video Chris, as ever! Very helpful! 👍🏻 🎶
I've literally never messed around with those settings, and wondered what they were for.... all the while doing this manually and chopping and adjusting like one of Dave Pensado's videos lol. OMG... You just saved me tens our hours of my life back. haha. Thank you so much for this.

cool to see Chris Selim on this channel! Followed his channel since he started and it is cool to see how quick he is growing!
Thanks Chris! Yes, Chris Selim is a great guy! I met him through Lij Shaw, another wonderful mentor to many!
Thanks Chris! Happy you came to watch me on this channel :-) Warren Rocks!
Aw shucks thanks Chris! You Rock! Let's do more!
Amazing bro..but this trick also use in cubase 5?
7 month's and no answer....
Thank you!

The left outside cab was pitched a few cents up, and the right one a few cents down, and the center one was dry, he used an eventide H3000 rack harmonizer for this
Hi Eric O'Reilly marvellous comment! I actually create this is my hardware H3000 on my mixes!! P.S Eddie rules!!
What is Mix Voc Bus at 1:56? I don't have it on Cubase LE
I don't have it either..
Great video Chris!
Yes, marvellous work Chris!
Thanks :-)
I learned so many new things from this video haha. Have you ever thought of doing something similar to an electric guitar to thicken it?
You always have cool looking templates.
I use a slightly different approach. I double my vocals (sing them twice) and add these thickening only the doubled recording, plus whispertrack and doubler.
But I actually wanted to say: Great and extremely well explained tutorial, really great.
Beautifully explained, Thanks a lot sir
You are most welcome

On a side note, it took me by surprise to hear her singing in French at first. I thought I was losing my head. Haha. Lovely voice though.
Dude that’s dope! I use Adobe audition but im sure the same principles apply!
Amazing trick! Can't wait to test it myself!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
I have seen a tutorial simmilar to this technique. The difference was, the offset of the thickening tracks was always negative, so they played sooner than the main lead vocal. Then they used a delay plugin on each of these tracks with only wet signal and delay time modulated by LFOs (I believe these were S&H synced to the song tempo). These eight track were shifted in time by a variable ammount and were shifting constantly, so the final effect was like there were 8 diferent takes on the vocals.
Chris! Amazing!!! Thank you! I finally got it :)
You're welcome brother!
Yes, agreed! Chris Rocks!

Hi Ruud Jansen that’s a marvellous question! I’ve used it many times on lead guitars! It pushes the solo forward really well! Any featured instrument could be if it from this effect!
Like Warren said, definitely. Try it out :-)
Acoustic instruments. Best advise is. If you are a keyboard player and do have knowledge how to play. Sea - board. Than you can use
Kontakt acoustic guitar. And play with sea board. It will change your life. Stereo out.
Because mic setting is very important for acoustic recording for an example. AKG 414
But Chris thank you so much beautiful video.
One part I didn’t understand. ( sorry for that ). The routing ? 8 mono Audio. But what you mean by mix vox buzz. Cause my routing I only see stereo out and no buzz.
Pls advise.
You did it like a pro...sweet trick
Thanks ever so much!
I died when he said 'we're gonna apply the same Logic in Cubase' ...get it?!
you must be off your fruity loops to have a decent reason for that, bet your in a garageband! fucking audacity lad
hehe
Good day Chris the stuff you do is great but can you do it with stock lug-in's on cubase 5
Hi
Chris this is all good, can you do all this in cubase 5 Pleas.
I'm a Cubase user and make House/EDM. Tried Ableton and Reason and way prefer Cubase. Thanks for the great videos.
7:06 I saw that little trick of you toggling Solo twice because Cubase actually doesn't activate sends in solo mode. Bit of a bug on their side?
BTW did you go into compression on your VOX Mix to avoid a volume jump?

Thanks for the clarification Chris!!
Wow. I've never thought about thickening vocals like that. Not sure if it also would apply to metal vocals. But i'm going to try ;)
I use cubase for rock and metal. didnt have alot of luck with pro tools on a pc it would stop working in the middle of a session not saying pro tools sucks. Haven't tried pro tools in years. Hell I'm still using cubase 7 lol thanks for video
Lol... as far as you have something that works, that's all that counts :-)
Agreed Matthew! Whatever DAW works for you is the one to use!!
Thanks Chris. Good trick ;)
You're welcome... and I'm gonna say Thanks Warren ;-)
Thanks Fabien and thanks Chris for the great video! Marvellous having you on board!!
It looks like you are using Cubase Pro. I am anxious to try this technique, but I have Elements 10.5 and don't get an option to "Global Transpose" anywhere that I can see. Does Elements have this capability, and if so where should I look to find the transposition control? Thanks for this tutorial, you have an excellent way of explaining things.
Thank you David Cross!
Hi Matt Smith haha really? Not sure, but I’d take it! Haha
They're twins! media.gq.com/photos/59e78fa7855d3303830d1557/3:2/w_560/david-cross-apology.jpg
But seriously, I did enjoy the video. Would love to see more Cubase focused stuff as that's my platform of choice.
Lol!

Diesel Dungeon Studio Dude, I do the exact same thing Lol!
MixdownOnline haha Awesome!
Hi love this trick just tried it on a couple of songs I’m working on. Thanks
Just wondering if you can use same trick for accustom guitar maybe with 4 tracks?
Thanks
Adam
Good one!
Hi JulianFernandez thanks ever so much! Marvellous
Thank you, my friend!
Thanks for this video . This technique should be applied to raw vocal track or mixed vocal track ?
Thanks I will try this,, would of been nice to have seen the effects you added tho,,,
Wow thanks a lot for sharing this ... So useful! My request, I want to improve my voice compression , have some advice on how to EQ the voice and know how to deal with its space in the mix, can you help me please,
What shortcut was used to copy the original vocal track to the others while staying in perfect sync with each other on the timeline?
Great stuff Chris and thanks man..I have a question please.Whenever i create a new stereo audio track to record my vocal i cannot get a balance between the left and right,after recording the vocal and looking at the wave, the right side is much larger than the left and the audio gets one sided..Can you please tell me how to configure a stereo audio track properly please? Thank you sir.
Reply
its to advanced for me! anything easier?
how are you dragging the track down and copying them so quickly ??? at the 3 minute mark in your video ?
Had to play with the pitch a bit. But when you can get them in to retake their harmonies this works a treat, 😭♥️
Nice. Definitely trying this out. Thanks!
Hi my name is Nirmal F Robinson and recently I purchased Cubase pro 10 and want to know that when I record Vocal which plugins I can use only cubase pro 10 not external plugins.
I make DNB up front dance music, this technique will surly go down a treat in my upcoming productions!
Wow. That did't sound like a choir at all. I thought it id going to. It still feels like one lead vocal. That is so cool.
So you first rout every lead vocals to your Mix Voc Bus and then rout that to the standard stereo out?
That means you dont touch the single vocals but mix them all at once in the bus and then send THAT to the stereo out.
Did I understand that right?
I have a question why does mine say some audio files are missing please check installation..?
Would like to ask you I don't have nothing against alto-tune. But I just try not to use it if I don't have to. I just copy tracks and eq different and time adjust. I do rock and metal. So I'm I missing out on something?
Hi Matthew, there is no reason to use Autotune, this is just a detune effect that adds a form of chorusing!
Nice one Chris
It's just a cool trick, Chris!
i love you ...thank you for this video
So...we only have to add microtonal harmony? Dope!
Hi Chris,
Are there differences in the doubling/widening characteristics using the technique shows here on this video and the technique were with 4 doubling channels using CB Cloner Plugin?
Thanks for your great videos!
Amram
Hi Chris, noob question (suffer me!) - i realize the waveform you used is single and not interleved. Is this how i should structure my wave forms for mixing? My stems are all interleaved after i rendered from Cubase and am wondering if this is a good idea, especially seeing that both you and Warren used single-part wave forms rather than interleaved ones.
You just saved my life man,, thanks so much!
Can the same technique be used in older versions of Cubase (5.5) Thank you and Happy Holidays one and all!
Yes you can Peter, C5.5 has the same features...Happy Holidays to you as well :-)
Love this technique for choruses. 👍
That is a super cool...and super easy trick....and....it sounds damn good!!! Thanks for the tip.
Great video.. The same principle used in chorus effect 👍
How do you make multiple tracks like that? So that they stay at the same place on the timeline.
Thanx so much for the awesome tips!!
Thank you Chris and Warren for this great Video. I have a question though. I've done this before but it sounds weird. I hear it on your vide as well. The vocal stack sounds artificial. English is not my first language so I am probably missing the correct terminology here. Kinda like robotic. Is it just me or is it suppose to sound like that. Could it be phase issues?

Great question Emmanuel! I am going to ask our good friend Chris if he can more videos for us using Cubase!
(1) To answer your question, you can simply add these tracks to a folder and close the folder which will then look like one track...or you can click on the Visibility Tab on the top left of the Project window and "uncheck" these same tracks so they're not visible anymore in your project but still active... (2) Yeah, I can do so :-) ... by the meantime, check out Frequency EQ (included in Cubase 9 +), it has an MS EQ option and you can also check out Voxengo's MSED (FREE) for MS processing.
Produce Like A Pro.. thanks alot
Thank you very much! Very good trick!
Holy shit thanks a million, just used this trick on a session and damn it sounds way better now. Thanks!
il y a des Français qui écoutent. Some of us are bilingual😊. My voice was recorded on Audacity. On the Cubase 11 pro of the composer, it lacks energy and sounds muffled though the same mic was used. Will this trick help make my voice come out more is what I’m wondering… Subbed and 👍🏼 🦂😊❤️🌊
i m using cubase 10 pro and i do not see that section where it says fine tune and stuff.. not even when i open the audio editor panel :(
cool trick man, is this something that should be use through the whole track or is it a just chorus thing, how do people use it?
Can you please tell me which is the best version of Cubase for beginners
A cheap one, LE AI is the cheapest one i think. As a beginner you wont need any of the Pro Features, i am working with cubase for 5 years now and the only thing im missing (With elements though) Is that theres no Sidechaining and no Automation panel.
In Ai you are limited to 8 Instrument tracks though. This is the main Point thats kinda annoying.
If you want to do Hip Hop, Metal, Rock, Pop get LE AI, if you want to make Electronic Music, get Elements
Wow man, it really sounds so much better and you don't hear that it are multiple voices. Thanks for sharing this. B.t.w. what is the name of the singer and the song?
Dope! and Lit!
How did you arrive at the MIX VOX track...??? Whre the new submix/groups(Doubler) was sent to...

How do you highlight tracks like that?
Bonjour Chris. Est-ce que c'est volontaire de placer des (moins centiles) à gauche et à droite, plutôt que de les placer tous du même côté, disons les (-) tous à gauche et les (+) tous à droite.
Oui c'est volontaire...question de garger un balance plus naturelle. Merci pour ta question :-)

I think theres a VST for this called Doubler made by Waves :)
Great video!
Hey Chris Thanks for the previous response to my problem( hope that u remember)PLEASE HELP ME OUT once again , I m using UR22 mk II audio interface and the CUBASE AI 9.5, also the headphones and the condensed mic that come in the recording package . I m a beginner in music programming. MY problem is related with Audio recording. After I complete the drums and synths programming , when I try to record the vocal track I see that the whole other tracks get mixed with the vocal track automatically as if I have done the Audio MIXDOWN. This happens even when my headphones and speakers volume lowered to zero but does not occur when I record vocal in solo mode . I have set two individual MONO tracks in the input bus and one stereo track in the output. Please let me know if its a configuration problems?????
It kind of just sounds like a modulation effect to me, is there a reason why this is better than using a chorus effect?
I think chorus are similar but have a different sound. This trick sound better on vocals to me, less artificial.
@@saturdaynightfeverDJshows Then what, I run all these tracks into a group track for automation? Should I do all the EQ and filtering on the group track or should I still do each track individually?
Great video! I have a question: Why do you use several copies of this vocal to create a thickening effect instead of using an onboard Cubase Pitch/Doubler Plugin like Cloner that offers 4 voices with individual fine tune and delay? Is the soundquality maybe better than those plugins?
Thank You So Much It Works Great And Love The Video.
Thanks ever so much! I’m so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
