How to Record Crowd Vocals (with just TWO people) | 3/4 Pop Vocal Production

Gang vocals invite people into your song and encourage listeners to sing along while also elevating the lead vocal. But what if you only have a couple of people, not a crowd, to record? Fear not, the "Babies and Sailors" technique has you covered. In this gang vocals tutorial, music producer Alex Wilke and artist Francis Karel demonstrate how to sound like a big crowd by recording multiple layers that experiment with space, tone and timbre. Combined, these layers are different enough to sound like a huge room of people singing along. Wilke then shows off how to process gang vocals against the lead for a big, energetic sound.
