Getting that crowd sound on the hook...

[Bobby Ffitch]

you know what i mean... any tips on getting that sound like theres hella people in the booth? aside from actually taking the mic into a bigger room and getting hella people to do the hook...(because i have done that lol)

ive tried layering, doing hella takes on top of eachother, reverb, etc... but i just cant get that sound im looking for.

any tips? how yall do yall hooks?

 

[StressWon]

just get a group of ya boys in the booth man,,thats it,,,

 

[GRAFIK]

or get some records which were recorded live, i have a ton, and you could def. use some shit like that if you've got them

different people on da hook n panning the different tracks will do it. addin reverb n delay also helps.

 

[Sanova]

yea i've managed to do it with 3 people. and effeciently did it with just myself.

^^^^ what they said + a lil chorus effect... not too much

u can even do it wit opne person, duplicate the hook like 10 times, make each one a diffrent pitch(nuthing crazy low or crazy high) and put em all like milli seconds before and after each other (not all layered exactly over each other) add sum reverb, get silly wit it

Yeah, alot of my hooks sound like a crowd but it's just me doing take overs. Thing is, they're not perfectly in sync with each other. Some people have critcized this I'll admit, but I ended up likin the way it sounds personally so I usually keep up unless it just sounded way too out there.

THAT is a good idea.Im gonna try that.
But isnt there a plug in or somthing that can also just make it sound like a crowd?

 

[Bobby Ffitch]

thanks for the help. yea ive done the thing with like four five people in the booth, sounds pretty nice, i was just wondering if yall had any nice techniques.

that pitching idea sounds solid as hell, thanks man.

 

[Hypnotist]

yea... I've done what bastard said a thousand times and most times it's been successful. but the most successful times I've done what they call "gang vocals" is when I actually get a bunch of people in the booth to make noise or repeat one word. Then I have em record again and layer layer layer. Then pan pan pan like bam bam bam. aight that was corny, i know.

lol i've done this before too. Definitely layer a grip and make subtle changes. Reverb is a must but it's got to fit the vocals right or can sound weird.

 

[Bobby Ffitch]

thanks yall. im about to record with some people today so ill try some of these techniques out with the material.
