How to use SONAR reverb to reproduce Wilson Harmonies?
I am a big fan of Brian Wilson. I just listened to his latest release “No Pier Pressure” some of which was recorded at Ocean Way. I am always delighted by the fullness of the backup harmonies. Brain tried to emulate Wall of sound and the backup harmonies were always so full. Some of them were probably double tracked. Anyway, how can I reproduce that in SONAR? On Pier Pressure the lead usually has a big hall reverb with a long decay. The decay on the backup vocals seems to have as much reverb, but with a short decay. How is this done? I have heard of using two reverbs on a single track, not sure why. I have generally defaulted to using UAD’s Plate 140 for all my vocal reverbs. What do you guys know, recommend?

A process can not be understood by stopping it. One must flow with it and become one.
