    Hello people,

    what do YOU think how they constructed the vocal sound of "Hard out here" from Lily Allen?

    My first suggestion was a combination of these three steps:

    1. a main track vocals pure
    2. a track underneath the main track with a perfect quantized Cubase vocal processing (editor - vari-audio)
    3. a phaser/chorus inserted in the main track

    Is there any sound-engineer out there to give some hints about producing this vocal sound? :mates:

    Cubase vocal processing? :rofl: I highly doubt that...badly autotuned vocals so true the standard way is ! (1) Do the main vocal track wich vocals are always the last track so they don't get muddy or buried
    (2) sing the excact same track with timing offset a milla second so it gives it a thick sound ,Don't copy and paste orginal doesn't work good..
    (3) layering the first 2 tracks 1 with reverb others with a delay panned 25 percent left and right on each one ect... probably the most realisict way..
    also theres a lot of good tutoriols on this using Google... :wink:
