I'm on that trek in which an aspiring general producer soaks in all the information he or she can.
I've heard about double tracking vocals to get a pretty big sound.
And now, I'm postulating the benefits of triple tracking vocals. Screamed vocals, predominantly.
I'm just wondering.. is this unheard of, or a waste of time? To be honest, I doubt I would ever willfully record three tracks of vocals for a band in my producing lifetime, because it seems like it could be a waste of time.
However, for recording my own band, I was thinking about doing that and panning the tracks 50 L, center, and 50 R. Then automating like hell and all that.
Thoughts?
I also thought of quad tracking them too, but it seems like after a certain point, they'd start to mush together unless I devote like 50 hours to tracking vocals per album to get each syllable right on time.
