I usually use a female vocalist against a male, because it provides better separation of the parts - especially when there's a counter-line going on. Even with staggering, some of the background vocals are hard to make out, to the point where I'm considering eliminating them.

There's actually another instance of Kevin on one side, and Ryo on the other. Ryo has a touch of an accent, although there's a Strength option on the vowels that I need to explore.

I toyed with the idea of using female background vocalists, but figured it made more sense to use males. If I get some time, I might try replacing them.

Thanks for the positive feedback! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
