And now I'm armed with the recommendations here. Thanks again.

One thing I have realized is that when I use reverb I am actually using two reverbs. The room in which I record generates a reverb when I record and that can't be changed. This original reverb may be minor, e.g., a faint ambience, or it may be more pronounced, e.g., cave sounding. This obviously depends on the room in which the recording is made, mic placements, etc. That original reverb gets "re-reverbed" a second time when I add a reverb plugin or external reverb unit when mixing.

My thinking is, for a solo instrument, or for any effect that's only going to be used on one track, what's the difference? According to what I'm reading here, maybe there is a difference? I guess I'll have to look into it futher, since reverb is my obsession of the month...

Setup a ProTools template with the output and input busses and aux track already created, along with the input tracks and master output.
