I was able to meet some real great local musicians last night that have been there done that and all, I was intrigued by their acoustic duo, pulling off some great classic tunes. Their vocals were spot on, and acoustic tone perfect. The singer is sponsored by Breedlove guitars and, they both sporting free top of the liners, lucky dog. The guitars were like butter. During the set break, I got to poke around their stuff to see they both were using vocal harmonizers, I guess as a Duo that really helps get some vocal girth on those thick chorus type songs. I couldn't believe they were even using one, since I have thought of them like a synth like sounding, R&b rap thing. It uses the guitar pitch to correct the vocals and add harmony with a stomp, up and down or how ever you have it programmed. I am aware singing can be done by those gifted with the talent, but those of us in the mediocre rangw, even like the guys last night can really benefit from this technology, something I thought was either out of reach for the wealthy top acts or just plain cheesy sounding like Usher or something. Of coarse you need to be able to carry a tune to get a natural sound (Blended), but it is crazy how much it helped their singing and how natural it sounded when blended with the music through the mains. I was also blown away when he said and the other guy agreed that without the harmonizer the vocals would be mediocre at best.
It was a Digitech Vocal pro 4, something I will be looking into myself to make things a few notches better!
I was wondering, if it is not embarrassing for anyone to admit it, if they use them or something like it to help keep vocals reined in, and what they are using and how... I was blown away at how they were able to use it/blend it and how natural it sounded. I was wondering if they had a rack system for a band application... Thought it would be neat to share and also hear some more about it.
Happy holidays, Jboy
