Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Does anyone know if this was an effect of some sort (Mellotron? Vocoder?) Or did they really multi-track their voices to create that choral cascade? Listen at 3:22 [YOUTUBE]irp8CNj9qBI[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted February 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Phil? I know you're a Roy Thomas Baker fan too. Are there any good books or interviews about the making of A Night At The Opera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Instrospection Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 It sounds like there's multitracked voices on each "oh-oh-oh" part where maybe different band members sang on each delayed part that descends downward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it must have been a nightmare to perfect that. Nobody seems to put that much perfection into recording anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the really high falsetto parts are Roger Taylor. It really is stunning when you listen to some of those old Queen tracks through headphones. All analogue, all probably no more than 16 tracks Edit: I stand corrected- that Bohemian Rhapsody mix video shows 24 tracks, but there's still a lot being squeezed on to them.
