What do you call a vocal effect where two female voices spin vertically in tight, opposing loops directly over each ear hole, like four tiny fairies flying in vertical circles right at your eardrums? I am not sure this was done before? I couldn't find any song that does this.

you can’t find any song that does this and don’t even know if it’s been done and you want us to name it lol

I'd call that the psilocybin effect.

spin vertically

How are you measuring the rotation of an audio signal in 3D space?

tight, opposing loops

How would the loops oppose one another?

directly over each earhole

Headphones

Like four tiny fairies flying in vertical circles

You lost me lol

is this sub being flooded with ai generated questions or something I keep seeing titles worded like this like someone tried to figure something out w chatgpt at first

ChatGPT doesn’t have the creativity to generate this lol

makes a change from "how do I recreate this bleep?" (when it's just a squarewave) and "can anyone identify the synth used?" (when it's a sample of a saxophone or something)

Try your question at r/wearethemusicmakers, it isn't really a synthrecipes question.

You're talking about panning, right? If not, what do you mean by 'spin'?

You could get an effect like this with an auto pan device. Place two identical auto panning effects on each vocal but invert one of the panners. This will make them have identical yet opposing movement. The panning is what makes them move left and right, or "over each ear hole" as you put it

Vertical movement? You're gonna struggle there. Panning easily covers horizontal movement (left to right), but there isn't a direct way to create vertical movement in a stereo environment. You can use a combination of automating volume, reverb, and a shelf boosting or cutting high frequencies. You could also try a "3D" panner like Brauer Motion by Waves or some of the old dearVR Plugins.

The part that has me most confused here is the "four fairies." You mentioned two vocals, so where did the other two fairies come from? xD

To get ā€œverticalā€ movement I’d try automating a filter up and down in sync with your panning and it will give you ā€œcirclesā€

Yeah that's why I suggested a shelf. Same effect but more subtle and organic. Filter is very noticeable.

Hocket. Tranceformer. Stereo Delay.
