There are so many answers to those questions that I cannot begin to start... however, your questions beg some questions of their own...

What card do you have? What kind of music are you doing (style)? What kind of board do you have? What plug-ins do you have? What are your goals for this piece of music (VO), or is it music? What is the final output going to be? CD, DVD, tape, for sale, for industrial presentation, educational, promo piece, etc? What kind of mic's do you have? ... and on and on and on.

All the parameters listed above and more need to be considered before your questions can be answered. My suggestion is to listen and learn... Listen to what you have... play and experiement a bit - the answers will present themselves when you have done the research.

Good luck!

The previous post is all true.
As some starting advice:
1)record the backing music into vegas or load from cd etc.
2)set up a mic to record into vegas on a seperate track.
3)arm the track, check for level etc
4)Check the help files as to how your going to monitor.
5)Record in your vocal
6)for a reverb on a basic pop type recording use a plate preset, then experiment from there.

This is a very basic way to record a vocal overdub into vegas.
It will not sound professional without a proper recording chain and some good recording techniques. There are many good books on basic recording techniques, pick one up

"How do I drive a car?"
1)Start car
2)push gas pedal to go brake pedal to stop
3)turn wheel to steer
Now go on out there and win that race!
