Lose the chorus effect and instead *triple* the lead vocal during the
choruses by singing carefully over the best vocal part and lowering the
volume on the second and third part to where you just begin to get a nice
lift. Pan the overdubs just slightly left and right of the center vocal.
You could then maybe add a *hint* of the chorusing effect to the overdubbed
parts if necessary but only if it doesn't sound like a blatant effect. A la
naturale, comprende amigo. This way you and your son both win the prize,
the familia stays together and everybody beber vino together with much
corazon.

Alright, ja ja ja. You get it and you got it Botticelli. You are very
welcome.

All very well said.

I don't recall what version of Sonar you have, it is still that "Sonar lite"
something or other you've posted about before? V-Vocal is available in
Studio and Producer editions.

(6). I right click on the audio track and there are many choices but
not V-vocal. And I need something like this! I am an old shark from
the times of Kraftwerk, and used monophonic synths (korg ones, real
dinosaurs) to write music for theatre (my real job). But I am also a
songwriter (my real vocation, but no my real job), and I am sick and
tired of recording my voice over and over without getting the right
pitch in some areas.

> V-vocal sounds like the right answer, but I couldn’t find it in
cakewalk.com as a plug-in… I found some freeshare options (http://
freemusicsoftware.org/category/free-vst-effects-2/pitch-correction) ,
but I am not sure how good they are and what risks I am taking
including them in the effects area.
