Hi Guitarhacker,
I think that is the terminolgy I wanted to say but couldnt.
My vocals werent doing this and I found out that in Reaper I was using the wrong panning mode for stereo tracks which really helped when I changed and that I wasnt processing my reverb properly which helped greatly when I dug into that problem,


"Your vocal should sit nicely into and slightly on top of the instrumental bed."

Thanks for the advice much appreciated
