Hi Guys,
I wonder if you can help. I am relatively knew to the home recording scene, so forgive my ignorance. I have a fairly simple, but quite effective set up, based around a pc running Cubase32 5.0 and a Delta 44 soundcard. I have lots of neat plugins, such as Waves, but feel that I am not making the most of them. In particular, I find that when I use reverb, for example, on a vocal, it sounds fine when I solo the track, but when I play it along with the backing track, the effect is barely audible (the vocal itself is fine), even with the send turned up quite high. Is it just a question of cutting competing frequencies in the backing track and, if so, where is the best place to make such cuts if the reverb is to shine through? Do you have any tips for me. Is there something else that I might be missing? Any help would be greately appreciated,
Cheers,
Alan.
