Are we talking about doubling, as in, multiple tracks singing the same thing at the same time to create a chorused effect?


Yes, that one!

Or are we talking about somebody singing the chorus once and then sitting back as the same voice plays back again for the next chorus?


You know what, that has ALWAYS bugged me about pop music. This is why Daryl Hall is the greatest vocalist in the entire history of civilization. I honestly believe he would killed someone if he was asked to routinely sing 30 seconds of a song, stop and then never repeat himself.

MEANWHILE, AFTER FoK WRITES HIS NEXT REPLY
FoK: They absolutely did it that way in the 80s, ICJ.
ICJ: I -- okay??


If it's the first you can do it with a delay pedal, or if you want to get really fancy you can use something like a Lexicon MPX-style box that has "doubling" algorithms which add a random pitch shift to the delay.


I may still be interested in a delay pedal, so I'll check eBay. My "chorus" pedal died after a 10 year layoff and while I have a newly-found talent for fixing ancient electronics thanks to the arcade games, the joy I would get in fixing the chorus pedal would not be equal to the joy I would get bidding on a new one from eBay and possibly playing "Hide and Seek With My Shit" with UPS for three days.

... Er, anyway - yes, thanks! I will try to link to the final production unless it's so terrible that it will prevent us all from being friends.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
