I'm recording vocals and my vocalist wants realtime reverb that he can hear while he's singing (not after it's on disk- i know how to do that). Is this possible with Vegas Audio 2.0????
no. Vegas does not offer "live inputs". Logic does, and AFAIK Cakewalk has it, too (?). Anyway: depending on your PCs/soundcards performance (the chosen driver-latency) such live-effects will always add a certain amount of latency to the signal that your vocalist is going to hear in his headphones.
I would say you'd have a lot more success (and get your desired result w/o latency as an issue) using an outboard hardware FX processor prior to the input to the PC. You can monitor the incoming signal through one of your mixer's outputs and use Vegas to lay down your tracks, hardware based FX and all. Then, if you need to doctor things up, use the tools provided to you for post-record processing in Vegas.

I don't agree, or you don't listen a small Lex or don't listen a Waves reverb.
I work with a diferent Lex (PCM 60, PCM 70, PCM 81, PCM 90, 300 and 480) and only sounds better the 300 and the 480, and this two Lex ins't a small Lex.

It probably depends on the kind of track you work on. I only know TrueVerb (have not yet tried Rennaisance Reverb), but I prefer the sound of the small "MPX-100" over the sound of the TrueVerb (when applied on an AUX bus and used for a complete mix). It's all a matter of taste and might depend on the kind of sound you're after. Use what you like :-)
The Trueverb (3.0 and newer, sound a lot better than old TrueV) is a room simulator (With incredible sound), is very very diferent than a MPX100 and other Lex, try the RenVerb, is near of the reverb sound that you want (I hope).
The Trueverb is ideal for recreate spaces (Try with "studio B" preset and compare with the 70's "tiled room", you feel the great difference)
