Jacquire King breaks down the vocal chain he built for Oliver Hazard's "Saratoga", mixed entirely inside Universal Audio's Luna. He solos each element so you can hear exactly what it contributes before folding everything back into the mix.
A single plate reverb send handles depth, with a slap delay layered on top for texture rather than doubling up on multiple reverbs and delays. The delay was timed by ear, not synced to a click, since the track wasn't cut to tempo.
Choosing between delay algorithms matters as much as the setting itself. He compares a tape-style space echo against a brighter guitar-pedal delay, favoring the darker, mushier option because it adds tone and depth without spiking transients or muddying the mix.
A micro-shift effect, modeled on the old Eventide H3000, slightly detunes the vocal to widen its pitch center. It's not chorus, it's a subtle thickening that adds presence and a sense of space without anyone noticing it's there.
