I don't think much technical "trickery" was used on Gords voice. I believe Rock probably suggested more takes and different ideas for the melody line. I'll bet money that many times during the sessions Rock convinced Gord to "try another take and maybe do it like this"...etc.
There is some double tracking of Gords vocals in places but nothing that I would say actually changed the "pitch" of his vocal performances....
I'd bet Bob Rock really challenged the boys...in a good way. Some of us Hipfans tolerate and even enjoy when a vocal or guitar is a bit out of tune, it kind of makes the recordings more realistic and spontaneous. However a guy like Bob Rock I suspect, won't tolerate it.
There are a few tunes on IBE that I wish Rock would have had input...ie.."Are We Family". I always wished the guitars were not a tad bit out of tune. A beautiful song...
IMO...my two cents :thumb:
