I've been singing since I was like, 8. So I sing a lot. So much. It's absurd how much I sing, pisses muttface mcderp off so much. So very much.
So I decided to do a weird project, now that I have my condenser mic up and operational. Thought? What if I sang a song, and I backed myself up 9 times?
So, I recorded myself singing Fields of Gold by Sting, 10 times, picked my favourite, made that track a stereo track, screwed around with the pan of the other tracks to make it as if the "Backups" are all around me.
These vocals are RAW. I did nothing to them other than a noise reduction to get a bit of the buzz I get from the two computers I sit next too, as well as pop and click reduction on the main track so that you guys don't hear that. No reverb, no equalisation, just as if I were to clone myself nine times and do this song through a mic at Karaoke or something. I spent about 2 and a half hours on this total. Minimal corrections, because for the effect to work properly, you can't have all the tracks to similar, or you lose the multiple people singing. So I left some mistakes in.

If people don't believe me, I have the original WAV file, so if you have audacity or a program that can open WAV, you can actually look at all the different tracks and pick them apart. All you need to do is ask.
