Noel,
the hard panned and time slipped strategy worked but it often go awry. I think the reason this works so well is the strength of the voice & solo in the centre.
I agree with other folk - ace to HEAR YOU again. You do fab work with the synth vox but yours is a unique instrument that works well.
Hi Ray.
Thanks for dropping in. I hope that everything is going well for you up north

I rarely use doubled tracks these days as I prefer to generate two individual versions of the same Realtrack and pan those. In this instance, I was just looking for a thickening of sound. Thanks for the support of my singing, too. Much appreciated.
May good things come your way!
