rayc...thanks for your thoughts...the vocals for this recording are about 20 years old, I pulled them off of a recording with SpctraLayers so a great deal of the reverb can't be gotten rid of (it's residual to the recording) but I went back and killed the new reverb I used and added a DeEsser to the vocals...it does help (though not sure I gave the vocals enough gain to compensate?...o well)...I really appreciate the technical advise I get here ...thanks again...Dan
