Double block / tab
Often referred to as “Doubling” or “Double
Tracking”, the Double effect mimics a singer re-
cording multiple versions of the same vocal pas-
sages and playing them back simultaneously.
The small differences in timing and pitch that
result from the two recordings create a more full
and “doubled” sound.
It’s quite common in contemporary music for
some sort of Double effect to be active during
the entire song, albeit with varying intensity.
Tips and tricks for working
with the Double effect
– “Tight” Double styles will have less pitch and
timing variation than “Loose” styles will. Tight
styles therefore tend to be a bit more subtle
even at higher effect levels.
– Try turning the “Lead Level” parameter to OFF
when using one of the “Wide” styles. This will
effectively remove your voice from the middle
of the stereo field and helps recreate the wide-
panned vocal style that can be heard on many
recent recordings.
– Adding some “1 Voice Tight” Double effect
when using the Harmony effect can add some
presence to your lead voice, preventing it from
being overpowered by the Harmony.
– Adding some “4 Voices Wide” Double effect
when using the Harmony effect can signifi-
cantly enhance the “group” sound of the Har-
mony voices, especially when using two or
more Harmony voices.
