What effect is this?

[Young D-A-T]

What effect is used when vocals sound like they're in the background? Or are the vocals just set real low in volume and mixed a certain way? Let me know, right on..

I don't know about other programs...but in Cool Edit Pro 2(now called Adobe Audition)there's this effect called chorus...you can specify the number of voices applied to the effect and set the length of the delay between the voices. or maybe just a simple echo and adjust the settings...lots of ways to get the same outcome.

I know when I want somthing to sound like its in the back of the mix I put some reverb on it.... kinda makes it sound like its "far away" .... hope that helps.... Try fuckin with the reverb in cool edit...CoolEdit has some really nice sounding reverbs.....:beard:

 

[Young D-A-T]

I'm not referring to like an echo or reverb.. I want plain vocals to sound like they're in the background with no echo or reverb.. so they just sound like someone is talking in the background.. seems kinda hard to explain.

 

[Sick Wid It]

Give me an example of a song with the effect.

How about "Triccs" off killa tay's Mr. Mafioso album? In the beginning of that track, he talks and u can here like the side comments he makes in the background, which those comments sound like he's talkin in the background if you get what I mean.. I'm tryna find out how to make vocals sound like they in the background like those side comments... right on.

record whatever you wanna say on track one.....
press stop....disarm track one from recording....arm track 2 for recording....press record ....say whatever "side comments" you like on track 2....press stop...turn down the volume a lil bit on track 2...press play to listen to what you just recorded.. WAHLLAH!
You can get some multitrack recorders here to experiment with...if you don't have one!

I'm pretty sure Sick Wid It doesn't listen to Killa Tay. But I could be wrong? lol

I found the song online and listened to it.....that shit is elementary. All he's doin' is multiple tracks mixed at different volumes. LIke Dobie said.....record one track.....then another....then another. You layer them joints at different volumes and presto!

And for our next lesson class.....we're going to explore panning (left and right balance). When you want to get real complicated.....start panning individual tracks a little bit and see what it sounds like.

 

[Toxsick]

yea sounds to me your talking about the way they are panning the tracks or just the volume they are put on..nothin complicated

 

[Young D-A-T]

Maybe that song was a bad example.. but I'm past panning and multitracking. Thanks for all the feedback though, I'm gon try to figure this out.. right on yall.

 

[Mr. D-Sane]

OK well.....there really ain't too many things it could be other than what has already been mentioned.
