Hi,
Just wondering if any artists, tracking engineers, etc. could share some general tips they have found useful for recording overdubs/doubles/harmonies for hooks? I.e. in general how many, amount of straight doubles vs higher and lower harmonies, etc.
Also if it helps I'll be recording some songs in the styles provided below. To my ears it sounds as if there is maybe only a single double being used for the hook in the first case, and in the second case it seems there is nothing at all for the first hook but the second time the hook comes there is either a double tracked higher vocal or there is some plug in effect/eq being used...I'm not sure which, or if I'm wrong about what I'm hearing in one or both examples. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I know it comes down to personal preference to a large extent but I would still like some guidance in hopes of becoming more efficient with respect to my recording work flow and have more assurance in knowing I haven't under-recorded and I haven't wasted time over-recording either. Thanks.
