Depending on the skill level of your singers and the amount of time you have to kill, you can go nuts in PTs dipping the breaths and tightening the BGVs.

If you have six tracks of BGVs... a three pt chord, stacked... you can really move around and chop up the BGVs before it becomes appearant.

With many BGV parts, you can absolutely chop up the ends of words (creating new edit regions) which when slid around to match the end of the LV or the other BGVs give a nice, tight end to the BGV parts. (Like "t"s and "s"s).

The entrances can be moved around too. And once all the parts are starting and ending at the same time... well it sounds almost as good as if they sang it right in the first place!

Nothing beats great singers doing it right! Nothing is faster either. But in a pinch, you can really make vocal parts sound better by starting them and ending them all at the same time as a first step!
