This is going to sound a bit drastic, but it might just be the quick fix that you're looking for.

Go to the BARS window and select the whole vocal track. Then go to EDIT - AUDIO EFFECTS - DISTORTION. In the SOFT DISTORTION dialog box select 6db of Pre-gain and push the output up to full (0db) Hit PROCESS.

It's not going to sound like a distortion pedal, but it's more like the effect you get by pushing the levels well into the red on a tape recorder. It will thicken the voice and give it more character whilst, at the same time compressing and raising the level.

If you don't like the result, hit UNDO.

ROG.


Will give it a shot soon but even if I don't like it the positive thing is that you showed me where the "AUDIO EFFECTS", like Compression, Gate, Exciter, etc. were. Until now I just thought the only ones available were the ones in the "DirectX/VST Window" which you get by clicking the Fx button on the individual tracks.

Hmmm, I noticed by clicking on "Add VST plugin" I can obviously add more stuff. When I click on that I get a window that says "Select a VST plugin." I didn't get it until now (I still don't 10-0%). On this site ( http://www.acoustica.com/plugins/vst-directx.htm ) there was this:

Important Note: To install a VST effect, simply put it in your VST folder. If you don't know where your VST folder is, then simply create a new folder and then go into the Preferences of Mixcraft, Spin It Again, or Beatcraft and on the Miscellaneous tab click "Edit VST Effect Folders..." Then add the new VST folder that you created and restart the software. (VST effects are .DLLs and they should be put in your VST folder.)


I know very little about these kinds of folders or how to create them so I'm basically lost now as the above is for using with Mixcraft which I don't use (but probably would have if I knew about this before Reaper). So how do I create a new folder for VST plugins which I can use with RealBand?
