I own Waves Abbey Road Reel ADT (Automatic Double Track) and a few other developer’s ADT plugins and after trying out the Air Music Tech Tape Double Track, I find it’s a keeper. I just came across the video for the plugin. I recommend picking it up. If you have never played around with automatic or artificial double tracking, it can be a lot of fun. I mainly use it on vocals, but you can use it on keys, guitar, bass, and drums.  It was famously used on a lot of John Lennon tracks during The Beatles’ days. I used the Abbey Road ADT plugin on my cover of “I Am The Walrus” to get that sound, which of course, sounds different with my voice, but the effect did bring back the vibe of the original.

My cover of “I Am The Walrus” featuring Waves Abbey Road Reel ADT on my lead vocal (the background vocals were all direct input, and all vocals were from the first take; I didn’t even know about comping vocals back then!):

Nice cover Pete.

Thanks.

That was my first finished song since I started attempting to play again, more than 20 years after the repetitive stress injury causing tendinitis that stopped me from playing. I think that was 2021 — during the pandemic. I had just set up my new DAW PC and was so enthused that I googled “I Am The Walrus” chords, brought up a Wurly sample library and started singing and playing, no practicing, that was my first time ever playing that song and I just pressed record and kept adding tracks until I was done; I’m pretty sure that everything was a first take. I attempted to quantise some tracks to fix the timing issues, but the timing was so off in parts that I gave up on quantisation and I had thrown on so many effects on the vocals and Wurly that the background vocals were all direct input with no effects. I was surprised they even sounded okay (I was never more than background singer). I think I was so enthusiastic from all of those years of not playing, that even though tendinitis was causing me pain during the drum parts (mainly due to the tom parts), I kept playing and ended up doing a better job than I expected, all things considered.

It does crack me up that so many people online have told me that I sound John Lennon-ish or one guy who PMed me on SoundCloud, insisting that I was imitating Lennon. Nope, my kids will tell you that is what my natural voice sounds like. The reason they think I sound like Lennon is merely because of the artificial double tracking effect. Only once in all my years of performing did I ever sing lead vocals. One night, I was replacing a drummer for a band that did a lot of Beatles songs, and only got together with them to run through several songs. When I showed up at the crappy little bar they were playing and we did a sound check, I was told that I was expected to do lead vocals. When I told the guitarist and bassist I didn’t do lead vocals, they said that if I didn’t sing the show woudl be cancelled. So, that night, at 18 years old, was the only night I ever sang lead vocals. And the band did a bunch of Beatles songs, and I realized I sounded decent on songs Lennon sang. But I never sang lead vocals again after that night besides at jam sessions.

Attention hoarders, don’t forget to register the product with InMusic software center app. According to Air Music mail I got with the code, it had to expire on December 7. I tried it now and fortunately succeeded, so redeeming still works, but who knows how much longer it will. Cheers!
