I also decided to duplicate the audio track and use the pitch correction plug in to pich my voice up by an octave. This allowed a simple harmony to be added when both vocal tracks were played together. The transpose value was therefore set to 12 to raise the pitch of my voice by one octave as shown below:
I added a 'wail' type vocal sound and saved it as a sample. The start of this sample was actually sightly off-key and so I used the audio editor to top and tail it with a fade in to just the 'in-tune part. I then time-stretched the vocal wail to be slightly different lengths on the normal and pitch shifted tracks. This gave me an interesting overlapping sound as though two people were singing. Finally I used automation of the panning control for the vocal wail sample to move it left and right.
I added delay and reverberation effects to my main vocal to get a better and fuller vocal sound.
On listening back I realised that some of my vocal phrases sounded a bit slow and ponderous in the mix. I did not want to re-record them as it had taken along time to get them right. I therefore the snip tool to cut up each vocal phrase and then used the time-stretch mode to slightly shorten the length of each phrase.
I felt that the bridge section needed a clean rhythm guitar sound to emphasise the descent into chaos. I therefore recorded a set of chords using the VST Amp Rack plug-in. I then added a virtual wah-wah peddle and used automation to move the wah-wah pedal to create the characteristic wah-wah sound.
