If on the other hand, you are doing a more mellow song, or a ballad etc, then you may well want to texturalize the voice more and smooth it out.Įffects such as processor doubling, chorusing, or as mentioned below heavily compressing a cloned vocal track and not compressing the other, and bringing the super compressed one up just enough in the mix to have an effect are good techniques that don't give you the same effect as singing the lead vocal line twice and therefore are often used to spruce up a lead vocal. It's different for BVs, they are usually doubled, trebled or whatever for texture, but if you want a lead line to come through with an in your face quality, you shouldn't double track the voice. Pascal Gabriel for example, says that he never double tracks any lead vocals which are meant to carry weight or punch through a mix because double tracking takes off the edge. In many cases, double tracking a lead vocal mellows the sound, it doesn't make it thicker (even though you get a slight ADT/chorus effect) and some producers don't do it for that reason.
There are arguments for and against doubling, quadrupling, or doing 40 lead vocal overdubs a la Enya.
