Hello all, I am using RB2010 in conjunction with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB and Audio Technica AT2020 Condensor mic. I am admittedly a newbie at home recording so I have been doing experimentation and learn as you go. In recording my vocals I am using the provided track preset Vocals/Male but the default reverb settings seems way over the top and not bright enough. Has anyone through their own experimentation achieved an reverb level that is not so overbearing? I have been tweaking the reverb settings and other default effects but can't approximate the sound I typically hear in most pro studio recordings. The raw vocal itself sounds clean so I am happy with all of my equipment quality I just need to figure out that extra effects "touch" to give it a pro sound. Would it help for more of the more savvy experienced users if I named a song, could you listen to it and give an educated guess of which effects are being applied to the vocals? Thanks for the help!

A sample of your recording or familiar song may help.
Some find the PGReverb serviceable, for my voice I prefer Ambience (free downloads available).
Also the compressor will have a bit to do with it also. It will directly affect how the reverb behaves.
Tinkering with these two plugins you can learn a lot.
Another common thing on commercial recordings is to double the vocals. Either by singing twice, or copying the existing track to another, and sliding it ever so slightly out of sync. You'll have to tinker with that on your own to find out how much; it's different for every recording.
Also, you may want to move the reverb to the AUX slot in the mixer, and then use the AUX send dials to feed the signal to that effect. This way you can run one reverb unit for several vocal tracks..
Sending a well-EQ'd vocal to the compressor to begin with starts the whole thing off..
All of the plugins relate to each other. It may just be that the preset isn't working well with your voice. They are only meant to be starting points. Pull the bottom end right out of the EQ to avoid mud, maybe boost around 2-2.5 kHz for a little clarity or intelligibility.. experiment and have fun
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

Thank you for the reply it was extremely helpful. I downloaded Ambience and it is quite an excellent plugin. The EQ aspect was huge..."muddy" that's the word to describe what seemed off about the sound so I tinkered with the EQ based on your suggestions and I am getting a much better sound now. Right now I am playing with a combo of EQ,Enhancer,and Ambience and am much more pleased with the results than before. Thanks again!
