Sometimes a song can have a burden. How can I put burden in one vocal line?

Burden (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In music, the burden is an archaic term[1] for the drone or base in some musical instruments, and the pipe or part that plays it, such as a bagpipe or pedal point in an organ. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, i.e. the chorus or refrain.

The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff, imitating the gross murmurs of bees or drones.

This is what was anciently called proslambanomenos.

Which "burden" do you mean? The drone or the chorus?

If your concern is highlighting the lyrics, try my 1^st attachment.

If you need verse1-chorus, verse2-chorus, verse3-chorus, you need to layer as in ~~my second attachment.~~ the next message.

As an alternative to Rick's solution, I use master repeats and you only need one extra layer to do it.
Several of the songs that I have posted on the Scriptorium use this technique.

A better solution. Also works with local repeats.
