Vocal effects from now on...

 Are you as curious as I am to find out how DT will handle the vocal effects from now on? It seems that with DT12 they have increased a lot of those, with some parts being actually an echo which may not work the same way if it´s done with backing vocals. The Bigger Picture for example will sound better if they actually sample the echoed parts - the "shed your light on me" part for example.

Any thoughts?

They'll probably end up doing something like that, although I wish they would ditch pre-recorded backing vocals altogether and do everything live. When I go to a concert I don't want it to sound exactly like on the album.

I don't know if they'll pre record this time around. I know I can hear JP doing backing vocals on some of the songs. I imagine they'll let him sing it live. THey might use an echo effect for AFTR. JP had a mic last tour, maybe this time he'll get to use it more. He seems to be getting more comfortable doing backing vocals.

I fully agree with you. WAY too many effects, holy shit.

There's definitely a lot of effects and at first it didn't absolutely click, but now

It sounds fantastic to me.

I love the vocal effects as well...I´m just curious to find out how they´ll pull it off this time, since it´s more than just backing, there´s more interplay between several James´, echoes etc etc.

I don't think there are any more vocal effects compared to any other DT albums. Either JP will sing the parts, or they'll have a backing tape.




Or MM and JR will join in on some backups. :metal





A man can dream, right?

Hasn't JMX been doing his own back up vocals for years? I mean, you can hear it all over the studio albums.
