Delay <strong>Effects</strong> 1<br />
Delay effects store the input signal—and hold it for a short time—before s<strong>en</strong>ding it to<br />
the effect input or output.<br />
The held, and delayed, signal is repeated after a giv<strong>en</strong> time period, creating a repeating<br />
echo effect. Each subsequ<strong>en</strong>t repeat is a little quieter than the previous one. Most delays<br />
also allow you to feed a perc<strong>en</strong>tage of the delayed signal back to the input. This can result<br />
in a subtle, chorus-like effect or cascading, chaotic audio output.<br />
The delay time can oft<strong>en</strong> be synchronized to the project tempo by matching the grid<br />
resolution of the project, usually in note values or milliseconds.<br />
For example, you can use delays to double individual sounds to resemble a group of<br />
instrum<strong>en</strong>ts playing the same melody, create echo effects—placing the sound in a large<br />
“space,” create rhythmic effects, or <strong>en</strong>hance the stereo position of tracks in a mix.<br />
Delay effects are g<strong>en</strong>erally used as channel insert or bussed effects. They are rarely used<br />
on an overall mix (in an output channel), unless you’re trying to achieve an unusual effect.<br />
This chapter covers the following:<br />
• Delay Designer (p. 11)<br />
• Stereo Delay (p. 31)<br />
• Tape Delay (p. 32)<br />
Delay Designer<br />
Delay Designer is a multitap delay. Unlike traditional delay units that offer only one or<br />
two delays (or taps) that may or may not be fed back into the circuit, Delay Designer<br />
provides up to 26 individual taps. These taps are all fed from the source signal and can<br />
be freely edited to create delay effects that have never be<strong>en</strong> heard before.<br />
Delay Designer provides control over the following aspects of each tap:<br />
• Level and pan position<br />
• Highpass and lowpass filtering<br />
