Bawb from Aberdeen, NC. Middlesex, NC here...

So I never (or very rarely) put reverb on my tracks individually. I use busses in a DAW and quite often, the only reverb on the project is in the master buss. I use dry tracks into the busses. By using one reverb in the master buss, I have a more cohesive sound and it sounds like everything is in the same space. Putting verb on just vocals leaves the instruments dry and the voice wet and that sounds un-natural.

There are times and reasons I use reverb in a vocal buss but you always have to remember that reverbs in series like that are additive and you can very quickly have a "too wet" sound and wonder why. So when I have stacked reverbs in several busses, they are generally cut back more than if they were stand alone. And sometimes even that is too much. I have a number of bypassed or deleted reverbs in a bunch of projects.
