Why/How you should double tracks rather than make a copy and pan.

Ask questions and get answers about how to make music in any particular way. Hardware or songwriting or whatever.

I'm very confused... why did you say "somewhat?"
Yeah, it's painful. I recently discovered there are multiple (depending on how much you want to spend) products from a company called Synchro Arts that automate my tedious manual process of aligning and tuning duplicate vocal tracks to a guide. I may get "Revoice Pro" as it does both, and would end up saving me hours of work.

There is a free script that does the same thing in Reaper (if you'd rather use Reaper for free than spend $99+ on a VST) or you can also use Reaper to put stretch markers on transients of grouped items and grab them all at once yourself manually... there is a video out there somewhere from Kenny G on that one...

Yeah! I’ve done that too! Play your song through then chop it up and put copies where it makes sense and poof, you’ve doubled the part.
I'm fairly certain this technique used to be named after the first songfighter that took the time to explain to everyone how to do it. I don't remember who that was, though.
