🎤 Usage Tips & Best Practices

Recording Tips

  • • Monitor Levels: Keep input levels around -12dB to -18dB
  • • Use Headphones: Prevent feedback when monitoring
  • • Record Dry: Apply Dubler 2 during recording, not after
  • • Test Settings: Try different presets before recording
  • • Multiple Takes: Record several versions with different settings

Plugin Settings

  • • Subtlety: Start with subtle settings for natural sound
  • • Voice Count: Use 2 voices for thickness, 4 for choir effects
  • • Pitch Variation: Small amounts (5-10 cents) sound most natural
  • • Timing Offset: 5-15ms delays prevent phase issues
  • • Mix Level: Blend doubled vocals around 30-50%

⚠️ Troubleshooting

Audio Issues

  • • Check audio device settings and sample rates
  • • Increase buffer size if experiencing crackling
  • • Ensure microphone is properly connected

Performance

  • • Bounce to audio if experiencing lag
  • • Close unused plugin GUIs to save resources
  • • Consider using on mixdown rather than during recording
