   Dave Platt, many thanks! I feel you've understood my situation and as a result   
   of what you've advised, I immediately want to start experimenting!     
      
   I have Audacity 2.0.0 loaded on my computer.  Once the vocal line is loaded   
   into it could you tell me, please, what I can do to add high-quality   
   (realistic) reverberation?     
      
   About ten years ago, when last preparing a recording that has been selling   
   quite well ever since, I went to Audacity's "Effect" tab and tried using what   
   was probably the most obvious Reverb choice that I found there, but the result   
   was horrendous.  So    
   there and then I just abandoned the notion of adding Reverb after the event,   
   deciding that recording in a more reverberative environment or using the   
   Reverb function of an amplifier, as I had done years before, was probably the   
   only way of producing a    
   true reverb effect.  Now from what you have written I see that there was   
   probably an option that I missed, or a plug-in I could have added, as you've   
   suggested.  I don't think I ever experimented with adding plug-ins to   
   Audacity.  But now that I'm    
   finishing with the writing and publishing of a book and I feel the need to   
   return to song-writing, I'm feeling much more adventurous!   
      
   Again, many thanks!
