It's a bad idea to process a 24bit audio more than 3 times. And mixdown more than 4x without leveling is bad as well, you are losing a lot of dynamics. You could propably do it with one single DSP processing effect like chorus (chose the amount of voices, and it automaticall does the pitch and time shift for you) and then apply a Flanger or even a Phaser. If you really wanna distort the signal at least compress and limit the whole thing.

[CoolEditz]

@DeeJaySoulStep - I agree. I would probably never produce a track like this without compressing it. Besides, stacking that many layers of the same track on top of each other would ultimately clip, but that's not really the purpose here.

Please someone give me a hint on where to find these kind of moving backgrounds, im the third one asking! & thanks for the video rob!

[CoolEditz]

@bram18y - My name isn't Rob. If you're referring to the animated desktop wallpaper, it's a feature of Vista Ultimate

[tortfeasor99]

One more thing: you're definitely not pitch shifting the vocal 8-10 semitones at 2:50. Maybe you meant to say 8-10 cents?

[CoolEditz]

@tortfeasor99 - You're right. It was a terminology mix up. 10 semitones would be nearly an octave jump. My bad.

[mahcle]

@CoolEditz hay man this helping alot, got any tips tutorials for guitar lead tones and how to mix solos to sound super awesome, thanks mike!

[DeeJaySoulStep]

I appreciate your tutorial but there are many beginners out there who will produce clipping vocals with low dynamics out of bad recordings and make them even worse. :-(

"They took our job" South Park dudes will know what the hell i talk about :D Tnx for tutorial btw :D

[siriusisastar]

A simple chorus or phaser will give the same effect.

[jaemelz]

lol he does sound like randy from south park

[MicahTHartsock]

Do everything he says, except using the original vocal track for each channel... Double track it. When you take identical takes and nudge them a few ms it causes some phase and comb filtering issues. You could double track it, then raise one a few cent like you suggest and the natural varient timbre of the seperate takes will be much more full... just MY 2 cent. It doesn't sound bad or anything, but I'm pretty sure Zombie just double takes right?

[supermassiveshrek]

LMFAO!!!! has anyone else noticed how the vocal sample sounds like randy from south park?
