I am new to recording. I recently bought a Steinberg UR22 as the interface with the bundled Cubase AI 6. I have a RODE NT1A, a SM-57 and a SM58.
I am totally new to recording but I've read a few things online. I am wondering if someone can tell me what effects (for Cubase plugins), I will need for basic acoustic guitar and vocals? Reverb I know for sure but what else would I need? Compressor?

What Kurt said. BUT you might want to have a SLIGHT bit of compression onhand to tame any dynamic inconsistencies
for the vocals. Especially if you are NOT a seasoned pro when you step up to the mic. It never hurts to have that available in a pinch. Plus a 6-tapped multi-chorused flanger with gated 'verb at the tail....in true 5.1 surround. I know that it's made me the star that I am today...
Seriously, though, very little compression, at least until you learn how it can WRECK a recording by sucking the room into the picture instead of keeping it out.

none. don't use any effects when you record.
