OT: How were the sounds made on 10cc's "I'm Not in Love"

2004-03-03 by Andrea Toni

. quite amazing indeed that multi vocal layers in there !
i remember i read somewhere that it was a tape multitrack layering of normal
human voices .. 8  or even more layers ..
i think will be easier and more realistic to do it with a sampler in multi
mode
and your own voice + a dense reverb  , then with a synth.

ciao
