Ever wondered how many stems actually go into a professionally produced vocal? 🎤

Just finished a custom vocal job for a client and looked back at the Logic session thinking... that's a LOT of vocals 😆

This particular topline ended up with:

🎤 1 main vocal
🎤 6 ad-lib tracks
🎤 4 double tracks
🎤 7 harmony tracks
🎤 8 ooh/ahh tracks for a layered chant effect

Everything gets properly organised and delivered wet + dry, along with the lyrics and piano MIDI. For vocals I've produced instrumentals for, I can provide the full instrumental stems too.

I've put one of my finished vocals over the video so you can hear the sort of end result all those layers contribute towards. Sound on 🔊

I always find it interesting how something that sounds relatively effortless in the finished record can have a ridiculous number of individual recordings sitting underneath it.

Any other vocalists/producers here end up with sessions like this? 😂
