Create Big Back Vocals & Harmonies From One Voice! Advanced Pro Techniques. Works with any DAW.

Create vocal harmonies and lush backing vocals in Logic Pro X, from just one vocal. Using these advanced mix techniques, by manipulating just one voice, you can create thick background vocal parts, rich three part vocal harmonies, and even change the melody of the lead vocal, without bringing the singer back into the recording studio.
Presented using Logic Pro X, but will work in any DAW, like Protools, FL Studio, etc.
We'll cover step by step...
1. Creating realistic sounding Doubles, Triples & Quadruples (without using a doubler or chorus)
2. Changing Melody of Lead Vocal and using the original melody for the lower harmony
3. Create 3 Part Harmony Using 2 Different Methods. Using Flex pitch on Logic Pro X, (you can also use Melodyne or Autotune) And using Izotope Nectar.
4. Create Talkbox Effect using Izotope Vocalsynth
5. Group, Process and Automate Background vocals.
6. A/B Comparison to the dry single vocal, Vs. the Full Lush Background vocals we created.

[@rajusticehiphop799]

I like that you talked about techniques that we could apply to the tools that we have instead of teaching something that was tool specific. Thanks!

[@progga7326]

I like that he wrote "This girl is not the actual singer" besides the image of the vocalist. Shows what a honest person he is :) Great Video, thanks!

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

This is by far, the best "cut to the chase, detailed here's how we do what the video title says" video that I have ever seen. No 10 minute intro speech, just a brief overview & let's get to it. I have always assumed that a lot of video creators put all of the extra speech in there hoping to have more ads placed. The ads and the wasted time get old quick. Another option for some of what I saw here, for people who do not have the software shown here would be to use the Detune effect if you have detune. Detune is often seen in guitar effects. It can be placed on different vocal or guitar tracks and set differently as was saw here for each track. The altered melody and harmony effects would stll need to be done with Melodyne or something similar.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey you American guitarist, (my real love-I have 16 of them!) I really appreciate your comment. I'm still new to this video thing, and still learning, but a comment like this is insightful into what viewers want. And thanks for the great advice on using the Detuner. It's a great tip!!! More videos coming very soon (this week hopefully) so stayed tuned. 🎸 (get it?) -Arty

this is the only video about fake doubles and harmonies that actually sounds real and good

Only just discovered this channel and it's saved my life!! Because of Covid I have 5 or 6 unfinished tracks that had basic vocals but no harmonies or backing vocals. This tutorial really helped me get the demos finished before I get the vocalists back in to finish for real. Thank you

[@AinsleyKmusic]

Just came accross this site and this feed and wow Its been truly helpful. Thanks. Keep em coming!

[@peterelfman]

That doubling trick is mind-blowing. I keep seeing people saying that the only way to properly double vocals was to make 2 separate recordings. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@attributedfreedomliveit8482]

I agree this should be a staple of all future tutorials, you make learning fun and clear.

[@oliverquach9614]

Arty you’re a legend. I’ve always wanted to achieve a delay effect that sounds like a singing crowd (kinda like at concerts/clubs when an audience sings the lyrics along with the performer) and this helped me ton!! Thanks!

[@mixmagician]

Wowwwwww this was eye opening. I've seen videos about this before, but not even close to the same results. I can't thank you enough. You can't always have singers around when ideas pop in your head. Awesomeeeeeeee....

[@jasonsimmons7479]

Very interesting techniques. When you solo the original vocal you can really hear the difference between the fake vocals. Nice video.

[@skimanization]

As an African musician and recording artist living in Europe, I had this problem of not having back up vocalist, only one girl was good, so if I knew about this technique on Logic Pro X I would have used it and became a superstar. Now that I know I say a big thanks to you for your revelation.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey Bookmark, Yes, and no. We didn't really have this technology in the '90s. But cheesy pop will always be cheesy pop, so and sometimes we would do similar things with the Eventide harmonizers. 👍 Arty
