ive done too many vocs in the years in big n' small studios n' home rigs also…lol.

heres how i approach a song fwiw today rather than in the old tape based era.

1..get arrange in good shape eg in biab or rb. and then get 'guide bed trak stereo mix'.
(note try different keys in bb/rb chord sheet viz your vocs singing along to find best key.)

2..get 'guide vocs' down eg in rb or another daw singing with ' guide bed trak mix' .

3..now for the icing on the cake…i go thru' every single pg rt soloist to find the best 'sound nuggets' that fit the song//tart up/finalise arrange.

4..lay down finals ie my final vocs plus add some iceing from a midi kbd triggering sounds if song needs it...
etc etc. and other doodads eg if song calls for added rhythm i add my gtr.

thats the core of it. for further info as it would be a v long book like post if i went into more detail theres lots of info on the net.
for example 'doubling vocals' can be a powerfull method.

(note ive done it both ways...recorded my vocs with n' without samples depending what i felt the song needed.)

it would help to know how you use biab (and rband if you use it also.)
as there are lots of 'tricks' in laying down vocal n' instrument traks in biab n' rb.

hth/happiness.
