Hi Rick

Thanks for the nice comments.

My process it to render Real Tracks to Cakewalk Home Studio (Sonar), do the vocals, mix, shake, stir, and keep my fingers crossed that it all works out. I had BIAB 2006 lying dormant and upgraded to 2012.5 a couple of months ago for the Real Tracks.

I use a little Behringer Xenyx 1202 mixer and M-Audio Nova condenser mic. I play guitar but so far I haven't added my own playing in yet. Too much fun playing with Real Tracks.

I sing the vocal parts track by track. I don't use any type of harmonizer equipment or software. That would take the fun out of it for me.

I'll do three or four part harmonies a track at a time. I really enjoy the process. I sometimes attempt to change the tone of my voice on some tracks. Sing one more nasal, etc. Once I've recorded multiple background harmony tracks I solo those tracks and mix just those vocal tracks. I add eq, compression, and reverb and sometimes delay as needed. Then I mix them with the music tracks and lead vocal and tweak as necessary. I decide where to place them in the stereo field and put a few percent of space between each of them for clarity. Sometimes I put them to one side or the other and with FALW I cloned the harmony tracks and put a set to the left and a set to the right with each set offset from each other in the stereo field. It's what I call fun. Disclaimer: Some may read this and think "he's mad" he doesn't know what the heck he's doing and they would be right. I experiment and learn by doing and I keep learning along the way and appreciate what I can learn from others. Cheers.
