Doubling
Doubling is the technique of recording or duplicating the same musical part (vocals, guitar, synth, etc.) to make it sound thicker, wider, or more prominent in the mix. It can be done by performing the part again (for a natural, human feel) or by copying and processing the track differently (using delay, panning, pitch, etc.). Doubling is especially common for lead vocals and instrumental leads.
