Donny is correct - correctly using the VH systems is an art in itself. It takes a fair amount of practice, some fine tuning, and again, that word "Sparingly" comes into play. I even explain the vocal harmonizer to my audiences before I use it - I sincerely believe this is very important.

"Ladies and gentleman, if you've ever been to the Florida Keys, especially Key West, you will undoubtedly hear a lot of Jimmy Buffett songs. One of his most famous, of course, is Margarettaville, which pretty much everyone knows the words to. In order to provide the vocal harmony for the chorus in this particular song, I have a little black box in my setup, one that records my voice, then plays it back, in two-part harmony, a millionth of a second later while I'm singing. Now, no one can hear a millionth of a second delay - it's too quick to hear, but you will hear me singing live, and in harmony. Now, lets have some fun."

Then I kick off the intro, do the song, and they're all singing along with me, especially the chorus. And, we do have fun. Not only does this provide the audience with some insight of how all this comes together for an OMB act, but it provides them the opportunity to interact with me during the song.

Damned I love my job,

Gary
