Impossible to answer without hearing the track. Reverb needs to be applied within the context of the entire mix and understanding what you want to create, imo.

Consider taking EZmix2 for a spin. If you like the vocal presets in the demo, you can probably buy it in a bundle with the Lead Vocals expansion pack.

Greetings, and happy new year. "best" reverb is highly subjective - fwiw, these Lexicon ir files sound good to me, especially in moderation. Curious, though - never had a reverb make things sound muddy that weren't muddy to begin with. Maybe some carefully applied eq could help? Some pretty good info here. Also, if you'd like to post an example, the Reaper hive mind will get on it

If avoiding mud is a major issue, consider using delay in place of reverb.

Or use lower density ambiences rather than halls or plates, and leave 30ms or more predelay.
Delay is a good alternative to reverb, but it can also be used with reverb...

I tend to like plates for vocals, whether algo or convo.
One method I use to clear space for the dry vocal is to use sidechain compression on the reverb aux, keyed to the dry vocal.

From Tweakheadz:

Cool trick: Split the main vocal track to two seperate faders. Compress the main vocal and send the secondary, uncompressed vocal to a reverb unit. This way the reverb stays out of the way until the vocalist gets loud. Hey that's they way it works in real life.

I am new to this & need help
Hello All,
I downloaded the trial version of Reaper a few days ago and want to get to grips with the basics of mixing, mastering (therefore improving?) my sample cello recordings that are now in it on my PC (Windows 7).
Please can someone tell me how I find the 'reverb' option so that I can make alterations. I simply cannot find it. I'm a complete beginner.
* Do I need to download another program that works with Reaper? (Hope not) I came across something that says 'receive' but that's as far as I can get.
Thank you,
Melanie

Tools like reverb, EQ, and compression are effects implemented as plugins in REAPER. The FX button takes you to a list of your installed effects plugins.
ReaVerbate is the simple reverb plugin that is installed with REAPER by default. ReaVerb is a more elaborate tool that includes the ability to use impulse files for convolution.
Check the Wiki for an overview of the effects available: http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.ph...velopment_team
