First Mix ever (please comment)

[Old_Ben]

I'm currently only using the stock reaper one reaverbate, I haven't gotten the best grasp on reverb yet either, but what I do is select a preset and make a note of where each setting is, and take it out, add it to max, and adjust it until I like that setting and move on to the next. Then I'll do that with the wet signal, put it right up and take it out so I can just about hear it, then switch it on and off in the mix to see if it fits right. The reaper stock delay also is good for vocals, doing the same thing with the vocal fattener preset can help.

Then do the same thing with your master reverb (if your using one!)
