This is particularly important on the lead vocal. Also, get friendly with the "pre-delay" control on your reverb - if you set it to around 50-80ms, you'll find you can still use quite a bit of it, but it helps with clarity as well. Try high-pass filtering the reverb send quite severly, as sometimes the reverb really muddies up in the low end too.
Thanks for the help fHumble fHingaz.
Should I run the different tracks through the PRO-TOOLS EQ plugin to accomplish this? They have a 1 band 4 band and 7 band option. I am mixing this in the pro-tools mix window. What are the digital ranges for let's say the bass the guitars, keyboards and vocals? I have a lot to learn. It was easier for me to turn around in the old studio and manually set the slides on the analog furman EQ's. Not to mention the four band EQ on each input channel of the console. Here in the digital world all of the equipment is hidden out of sight. I will have to learn to use it.
