Doubling Vocals for Singing, But How About for Talking

[MondoLikeMetal]

Of course. when I track vocalist, I like to double the vocals, and do pitch correction on each vocal track (four tracks per vocalist) and that works great if you have singers that can repeat their takes sylable per sylable, but how about when a vocalist has a passage where he/she talks . I find it's a nightmare to get the talking lined up, so all i do is just take the original track and copy and paste to the "double" track. and detune it a little.

I've heard recordings from pro bands throughout the years where the talking doubles just dosn't sound good at all.

Vocalign all the way man. Life saver for doubles vocals.

Isn't Vocalign VST3 only? Are there any similar alternatives for, say, Reaper?

I wouldn't double track talk. I would put it on a separate track and compress and put a limiter on it, works great.
