Hi Mike,

Yes, vocal rider just rides the volume of the track, adjusting up or down as needed, that's the beauty of it.

I have Nectar here too, it's a nice one to have. In my example above the reverb I'm using on the reverb track is actually the reverb from Nectar (with all the other modules disabled). It was Bud that turned me onto using that reverb, that's what he uses, and it's a great sounding reverb IMHO. Nectar also has a pretty good de-esser, I could have used that instead of the waves one I used.

If I had both nectar and neutron on the vocal track I would probably disable the EQ in nectar, but you could let your ears be the judge of that I guess.

When you say Neutron has to be on the master bus, I think you mean the tonal balance control module? Yes, that has to be on the master bus. And from that tonal balance control you can adjust the EQ of all the neutron modules used in the session.
