BUT... the biggest thing is... these guys have been singing together for YEARS. It's what they do. Finding GUYS who can sing that high is a tall order to begin with... but those kinds of harmonies come from people who have been doing it all their lives...

Extending/Additional Vocal Lines - that is simply arranging - like any other instrument - just takes a bit of thought/imagination - the same kind you might apply if you were adding strings or guitar fills, etc....


Got it. That all makes sense. I guess I am trying to figure out the raw vocals I would even need to do a lot of that. Meaning, how many voices, how "airy" are they. Things like that as well.

I have seen some of RF's live stuff (unplugged) and they can sing...not as well as their recordings though wink

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Great advice as always!
