If you mean using the fx in a recording, I would rather record vocals dry and use the internal fx only in the monitoring chain. Most internal fx were intended for live use, negating the need to bring a separate outboard fx during gigs.

For recording ba or pang-live???
               I use an MG24 in one studio and nung naka M-Audio DELTA 1010 pa kame eh I just get signals from the inserts if we are recording by track or me pre-mixed groups pag live recording. Ok naman sya until we got a ProjectMix I/O... We compared the signals from the inserts vs. the projectmix' preamps... Mas tahimik and buhay dun sa mic pre ng projectmix. So yun na yung ginamit namin...

              Ok naman sya pang live... maayos din yung layout and usable yung on-board effects pero syempre hindi gaano ma-tweak... good thing marami syang provisions for aux so meron din akong Ultrafex and Alesis MIDIVERB. So far for basic reverbration ng vocals eh ok na sya... alalay lang sa settings...

Gud Luck!!! Rak!!!

There are a few popular types of reverbs (also known as "algorithms") that almost all reverb units will create. These include hall, plate, room, chamber, and gate.

The hall is probably the most common reverb type used, and is considered by many as the most versatile. Choose this algorithm  when you want to create halls, arenas, and large concert spaces. This type is good for creating the "main" reverb in a mix that many instruments will be sent thru.

The plate algorithm recreates the metal plate reverbs that are still used in high-end studios. Plates tend to be thinner and brighter, with an unnaturally long high-frequency decay, Plate reverbs are good for drums, cymbals and vocals, as they are bright and "splashy."

The room algorithm is optimized for simulating small spaces, be they bathrooms or closets or living rooms. In general, room reverbs do not sound very good when simulating large spaces, as their delays are optimized for smaller reverbs.

The chamber algorithm is similar to the room, but is often better for creating larger and brighter rooms. Many reverbs do not include this type, as the room algorithm will usually cover this territory.

The gate algorithm has a totally unnatural decay that most often stops abruptly. Some units offer a separate control over hold time (how long the reverb sustains at full level) and release time (how long it takes to close back down to silence). The gate reverb is most often used (and overused) on percussive material and drums.

One offshoot of the gated reverb is the reverse reverb. With a reverse reverb, the reverb signal starts at silence, ramps up slowly to the loudest point, and then decays very quickly. It has a characteristic similar to the gated reverb, except it ramps up instead of instantaneously appearing after the input signal.
