Ok,I recorded the voice...

Ok,I recorded the vocals...

...And now?
I mean: I recorded the dry vocals, without any effect on them (with an SM58 throught a Boss GT-3).

What are the steps to fit them in the mix (except the reverb, which I think i can figure out how to add it...)?
How can I reduce the effect of sibilant or plosive phonemes?
...And another thing: I need some general guidelines on compression. To give you an idea, the vocalist is similar to Kiske, or Matos (i.e. , really powerful in the high spectrum and not so powerful in the middle-low spectrum)
Thanks in advance!

Just jump in and start making mistakes. Then you'll know what works, what doesn't and why. Once you get something you like the sound of, post it in the clinic and ask for some pointers.

Unfortunately those are really tracking issues and are hard to fix in the mix. Use a pop filter for plosives and mic choice/placement for sibilance. You can help reduce sibilance with a 'deesser'.

Thanks! I've got a couple of plugins that can do the job, but I also know that is often used a compressor in sidechain configuration to deess and dessh the tracks...the problem is that I don't know how to use it!
Anyway I started playing with the tracks and the results are by far better than I expected.... I used a Renaissance Compressor , a Renaissance Reverb and adjusted manually some really low phonemes...it's not that bad, but I want to know if there's a faster and more professional way to do it.Unfortunately the other members of the band don't want me to post anything, cause we still have do subscribe to SIAE (I think it's the same in Italy of ASCAP in America)...
