When you work with Reverb and Delay in a DAW, you should not put these effects directly on the channel strip (track) - you would rather put these effects an individual AUX tracks, where you choose to send the audio from your instrument to.

The basic concept is to have an AUX track with your Reverb set to 100% wet signal, and then from your dry instrument track you decide how many Db you wish to send to your AUX track.

An example is drums. Typically you would split the each drum into an individual track. The Bass Drum you would like to keep dry or provide i very tiny twist of a gated or plate reverb 0.3 to 0.9 milliseconds. The snare or hand clap might need some more space to sit correct in the mix.

On vocals it get even more complicated, because you might use a different reverb/delay in the verse and another more spacey feeling in the chorus - just producers always say "make the chorus BIG".

If you're on Instagram I recommend you to follow "mixing_tips" - a source of very good advise.

Good luck with your EDM.
