Any usefull tips?

[Trevv]

I only downloaded Vogone 2 yesterday, having never used any MTU products before.
I've read the manual twice as suggested elswhere on this forum.
I cannot seem to reduce any vocal to anything like an acceptable level.
Cher's "Just like Jessie James" has been the main guinnea pig, but all I seem to manage, is a very hollow/empty sounding track, with no drums, and a quite promenent "Squeaky" main vocal.
Am I doing it wrong? Have I just chosen an unsuitable track? Am I expecting too much? Does wisdom come with familiarity and experience? If anyone has any tips to help me along, I'd be grateful.
