This particular rhythm I derived from listening to a favorite old Brazilian recording called "Quilombo, or El Dorado Negro" by Gilberto Gil. You might look for it on YouTube. Quilombo was a settlement in Northeastern Brazil where escaped African slaves had formed their own free community.
I think this rhythm, and the instruments in it, are very very particular to Brazilian folklore.

You know, in this case, the loop is pretty straightforward; I recorded 5 tracks of my own voice singing (each harmonic line).
I then manually do a DC OFFSET command on each line, so the tracks don't create any harsh clicks or pops between them.
Then I apply very delicate amounts of Autotune to each vocal line... just to correct my worst vocal-pitch errors; I don't want to set it to "stun" for a Drake stair-step effect... No, I try to keep the Autotune absolutely natural-sounding.
In this loop, I applied mild compression to each track with the Softube FET COMPRESSOR, which is my everyday, all-around compressor of choice for routine tasks.
I then panned my 5 tracks across the pan field, to make it sound like 5 different guys were singing onstage, you know. Then I used Melda AUTO-ALIGN to align the phase of all the tracks together. It's a subtle effect, but it gets your tracks in crystal-clean alignment, with no nasty artifacts (phase cancellations) at all.
I then bumped-down all the tracks to one stereo track.
Lastly, I applied some reverb judiciously using my favorite reverb unit: the Melda Multiband Convolution Reverb. It allows you to divide a track into several frequency bands, then apply as much reverb as you like to each individual band. What I like to do is, add very very little reverb to the innermost frequency bands, but add much more to the Highest band... and to the Lowest band. That way, your reverb will never sound "soupy" or get in the way of the midrange band, where you need your musical ideas to be quite clear.
And that's it.
Wishie, I am so taken by the Melda line of plugins. They are the absolute S**T !!!
Best, ras
