Jan 06, 2006 05:09 pm Not familiar with Pro-tools, but I'll assume that you can use VSTs. Try VoxengoOldSchoolReverb. It's a freebie. There's a preset on there called "Mix Polisher" which, besides doing what it says on the box, is great to add just a little reverb/delay to a vocal.

Jan 07, 2006 05:18 pm Well the TDM D-verb is pretty straight forward as for control of it. It appears as it has a place to choose factory presets, you can try some of them as sometimes they are all you need. OR at least a good place to start, then adjust to suit the mix. The output meter should never go into the red, adjust your input level to make sure the output never goes red as you change reverb settings. Mix is just that, a mix betweent he dry and reverbed sounds. Algorithm and size are just that, big to small sounds are had by choosing differant ones. A large hall will be a huge sounding reverb, where as choosing small ambient will be a very subtle reverb. Diffusion is the amount of echo you will here to much and you'll turn the track to a muddy ringing mess, to little and it wont do anything. Decay is the amount of ring out or tail the reverb will have, it adjusts hwo big or deep the reverb is. Pre-Delay is teh amount of echo added before the reverb evn starts, it can make it sound more natural when used properly. Hi-Frequancy cut is just that, cuts out some of the high end to counter some of the artifacts created by the reverb itself. LP-filter is a low pass filter, again use it in moderation as it is a type of EQ.
As for that recording, I would start with an ambient setting using small. Then you can adjust the other settings to get a feel for how they effect each track. Your recordings being a simple acoustic and vox shouldnt need anything huge, just a pinch to help set things in their own place in the mix.
