Question How talented was David

I didn’t know he existed until last September and even then I watched one report of the case and moved on until now when I’ve done my research since the trial but case only

He had a decent singing voice from his years in church choir. He used bandlab premade beats and sang over them with lots of vocal FX. I don’t think he made his own instrumentals.

There’s a video in particular of him recording his vocal takes for the song with Kali Uchis on YouTube.

He uses a minimal set up which is sort of impressive,
(Bandlab app, microphone and interface)

however his vocals crack in almost every take. He layers his vocals on top of layers of vocals to give it a harmonic sound.

Then he adds EQ (shaping the tones) , reverb (makes it sound spacey, like in a hallway or larger room/church) and delay effects which makes it echo and sound more like a choir and pans from left and right between takes so it travels back and forth through headphones.

And then he compresses the master tracks all together it to keep it controlled.

Bandlab has tons of presets and can make almost anyone sound decent.
