How: Send the vocals to a stereo delay with 21 ms on the left and 29 ms on the right. It’ll make the vocal larger and more present without adding any reverb tail that could clutter up the mix. When: Use this technique when you want vocal depth without space. You can replicate this without the Kramer tape by using a slap echo and some analog saturation.

How: I use the Kramer Tape plug-in and use the slap/delay section to add it to the main vocal without using it as a send. It makes the vocal sound like it’s recorded in an old-school studio with the instruments all around it. Add in the stereo widening until the vocal starts sounding larger 2. How: Send the vocal to a bus, add a compressor and a stereo widener.

When: For subtle widening of vocals to add depth across the stereo spectrum. Whether you’re looking for parallel processing tricks for larger vocals, cool slapback echoes, advanced double-tracking or aggressive megaphone effects, you’ll learn them in here. The easiest way to make your vocals stand out in a song is the clever use of vocal effects to make the singer jump out the speakers.
