Mixing massive vocal harmonies w/ Kane Churko + Gemini Syndrome

65 vocal tracks?!

Kane Churko shows how he approaches high track-count vocal harmonies using the raw multi-tracks for “You Are Not Alone” by Gemini Syndrome, which has literally dozens of layers of vocals and nails that huge, polished radio rock vocal sound.

A few things to note about his approach in this clip:

  • His goal isn’t to make it sound like dozens of tracks. It’s just to make the vocals sound thick, dense and in your face
  • He mostly reserves quad stacking for thicker parts like the pre-chorus and chorus (lead, double, left and right)
  • He uses Pro Tools with Slate FG-73, Sonnox Oxford EQ, and Eiosis E2 Deesser, but the same techniques will work with any DAW and similar plugins
