In our new series Making The Chorus Bigger we will examine numerous
ways to get your chorus to get to the size you want it to be. We will
examine the many tricks that can be utilized to make this happen.

One of the the best ways to give a chorus some ambiance and size at the same time is to put a synth pad on it. Whether using a complex pad or a traditional polysynth string, these pads can give a chorus texture and make the chord changes sound stronger. The best strategy is to find an octave that is under represented in the song and voice the octave in this range while sustaining the chord changes.
