Key steps to lookout for when recording multiple tracks of stacking vocals?
by: Joe Wize
The process of stacking vocals is used in most of the music you hear on the radio today. It’s a good way of creating a natural stereo and depth in your mix. Here are a few things from my experience to look out for.
1. Make sure that each tracks starts and ends at the same time.
There’s nothing more frustrating than having everything in key but the artist holds the notes at different lengths.
2. Make sure that all the tracks have all the same exact feel unless you are doing something on purpose.
If one is was sung low and the hard, or soft and aggressive, or childlike and deep opera like it will be very difficult to mix in the end.
3. Make sure that all the tracks are in the right key and in key?
Keep in mind that when some notes are hit they are very close but still may be out. You might be able to let these go if you stack enough tracks but I suggest you rerecord them. Train your ears so you know if two different pitches are the same or out. You may want to watch a guitar player tune his guitar to get the concept.
When two keys are the same you won’t hear to many sound waves if any, you’ll just hear one long one. It sounds like a repeating sound wave when notes are out. You should apply this to each of the vocals and to the vocals placed in the music because they all go together.
Overall these steps would be a good place to start when recording your next hit record.

What’s Up Internet Radio?

What's Up With Internet Radio?
What’s the best way to get your music played on internet radio? There are so many stations out there it’s mind boggling and hard to choose the one that’s right for you. Of course you should do your marketing-thing before you approach anyone one of them. But still to find the one that’s gonna give you love and help you reach all the fans you need to reach is another thing. To find a legit station and one that’s not out of your brother’s back room starting up only reaching two or three people is a task. Yea they’re fans, and hopefully won’t do to much harm except wasting your precious time.
I’m talking about those stations that will pay you publishing for your plays, those stations that will help you reach the widest audience worldwide and give you a chance to properly market and sell your product.
How do you find them?
Self-Publishing
- Putting it in the Universe
Self-publishing is the way to go. Build up the artist worth and everyone will come to you instead of you begging all the time. I have the pleasure of working with some really great artist and all they need is a “in” somewhere. They have a great base and followers so it’s only a matter of time. So we go the route, first copyrighting, then Ascap, BMI, and Sesac.
