• SONAR
  • Is there a Doubler feature in Sonar like there is in Izotope Nectar? (p.2)

Hi Beepster, I'm not at my DAW but I'm pretty sure there is a Doubler function in the VX-64 Vocal Strip. Simple o use and limited controls but it might be adequate for your purpose.

Of course there is the Cakewalk pitch shifter too. Possibly the oldest effect included in 64bit SONAR.

The doubler inside the VX-64 Vocal Strip works pretty well I would say. it's a question of taste if you like the sound of it.
just my opinion...

Sweet! Thanks for all the recommendations guys. I haven't actually dug into the Vacal Strip yet as I haven't really done much vocal stuff with Sonar so far but I've got a track now that really needs something extra. I've double recorded it all (actually I recorded it a ridiculous amount of times and went through the painful process of mixing/matching) but I'm not nearly as good a vocalist as I used to be so the variations are a little too drastic but on their own they're just kind of lacking. I'll be trying all this stuff.

Again... thanks, dudes. ;-)

Two recordings is almost always better than artificial doubling. If you have trouble getting the timing right on the double AudioSnap is your friend. I use it if I'm doubling or for the background vocals that are trying match there timing. They don't have to be timed exactly. Often leaving small differences will make it sound more human.

@don... Well my main problem is I don't want my lead to sound like grouped background vocals which is kind of what's happening at the moment so this type of manipulation on a single track would probably be better for what I'm doing. It's cool if I'm going for a kind of eerie/creepy sound (just the nature of my voice) but not so great if I'm trying to do something traditional. I'll figure it out. You guys gave me lots of great suggestions so I'm something will get it sounding right. Cheers.

VX-64 works well if you remember to turn everything down a notch so that to acts mote like a thickener than doubler. I use it extensively on voiceovers and have never had a complaint about it sounding thin.
