This really has nothing to do with filmmaking but Oh Well.

Some buddies of mine and myself are wanting to do a recording of us singing some songs we wrote and some cover songs. All done accapella. Everything in 4-part harmony (We sound really good too Anywho, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the effect in adobe premiere pro where you have a slight echo but it is still very crisp. Not sure if thats the best definiton but o well. And also if anyone knew if we started the recording out with the lower part first(bass). Or what? Thanks!

News flash: we have a forum for topics that have nothing to do with filmmaking. Use it.

You are better off using either Cubase, or protools to do the recording with. Audio effects in premier pro is quite painful in comarison, and with both a number of different reverb effects are pre supplied and are fully ajustable.

Well, since this post was mainly about how to do auido in adobe premiere pro, I thought that the post would be best under Post Production(avid, final cut pro, premiere, etc.) Sorry to put it under here though if it was supposed to be under the other one.

I don't have Cubase or protools, so I can't do that.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - you could use audacity. it's a freeware program that allows you to record .wav files and add effects [comes preinstalled with reverb/echo, equalizer, etc] and you can download more effects if you need them. worth a try at least..you can't go wrong with free.

To answer your question of what part to lay down first, do a guide track of all four of you singing together. Play that back as a reference for you all as you lay down your parts alone, then remove the guide track. I've recorded accapella groups before, believe me, it helps immensely, particularly with pacing.
