Whenever you add processing to the combined background vocals it has a glue like effect, fusing them together. Piggy backing off of contrast and blend, sending the background vocals to a Group Bus can help tremendously. Just pan them hard left and hard right and focus more on the blend (to sound like a chord) and also the contrast between the lead vocals.

How to EQ them so that they sit good with the Lead Vocal, what Reverb I should use, technique about Panning them (especially when you’ve Got a lot of backing vocals) and Compression technique.
