Create An Epic Choir With Your Own Vocal in Studio One 6

As we make music, we discover new ways to create certain sounds that are in our heads. Sometimes you don't have the right plugin or you don't know how to customize something to your liking. But let's not get discouraged! You can do so many different things with your own voice, you just don't know it yet. I'm not a professional singer and I'll show you how I (and you) can still create an epic sounding choir that will take your mixing to the next level.

Thanks bro... good tutorial.

I appreciate that!

Thorough journey into your choir build..

I enjoy finding the small channels with solidly decent content, and your channel definitely ticks that box. I remember when Melodyne first came out, it was a beast then and is still one to this day. Really nice tip on the binaural panning, it's a subject that could definitely use some more highlighting for people out there so they are aware of it as it very much flies under the radar of many out there. I look forward to checking out more of your content.

I might have to rewatch again but so far very enjoyable and interesting

[@bobvaro]

I appreciate the kind words! Nice to hear it was helpful! 😃

I think a useful tip that would have given this a better sound is-when you are singing, the layers, vary a little. Make slight changes to the vowel from one layer to the other, also projection, how whispery or shouty, distance from the mic, sing as if you were different characters… and then it will add up to something that sounds more like there's several people singing. Here it almost sounds like it's one guy with lots of echoes.

[@bobvaro]

Félix, this is a great comment! Thanks for sharing this, I'll definitely try this! 🙏🏻😃

[@poorhouz5051]

Bro this is a DOPE tip.....I have about 10 tracks I'm chorusing BUT I did not think to use Melodyne.... COOL TRICK I'm gonna try that today after work....LOL

[@bobvaro]

You got it! 😃 We gotta be creative sometimes 😜

9:11 is there a reason didn't you create a bus for this? Instead of put the plugin in every channel and wasting cpu. Genuine question 16:25 you can also add AVOX Choir by Antares. It's a great plugin for things like this

[@bobvaro]

To me it sounds better on the individual channels. On separate channels it fills the stereo field much better than on the bus. When you put the plugin on your bus, all your vocals are first merged into mono and then converted to stereo. By putting that plug-in on every channel, you sum up stereo channels and to my ears that works a little better together. & thanks for that plugin recommendation. 🙂

Is there an option in S1 to "explode takes to channels"? - this would be a huge time saver, rather than copying the track x amount of times and selecting each take.

[@bobvaro]

Yes, of course! When you have recorded multiple takes, you can right-click on the audio file and navigate to 'Unpack Takes' and then click on 'Unpack Takes to Tracks'. I hope this helps!

As cool as this tutorial is, you mislead by saying your doing it in Studio one 6. If you used stock plugins it would truly be Studio One 6. However, using all the 3rd party plugins, you should specify in ANY DAW format be it S1, Reaper, GarageBand etc. I came here for a comprehensive tutorial using stock plugins. Not everyone can afford expensive 3rd party plugins. Granted, the exception that Soundtoys is reasonable. Try doing this with just stock plugins for a comparision. That would be interesting.

[@bobvaro]

That's a solid point! I will take note of this, and I'll keep that in mind for future videos!
