These transition modes include the following: On the far right of the plugin’s interface, there is a section where you can select the plugin’s “mode.” This model dictates the device’s behavior when the delay time is changed as the plugin is receiving input. Repitch emulates the behavior of an old tape machine, which results in a change in pitch when the delay time is changed.Fade will crossfade between the old and new delay times.Jump will jump directly to the new delay time.There are endless creative possibilities with Delay, but these are a few I have tried out!Ĭreate a chorus effect using only the Delay device!ĭelay the left and right channels by only a few milliseconds and bringing the dry-wet down to let some dry signal through. Enable the bandpass filter and adjust the width slider to separate the left and right channels even more. Set the rate slider based on the rate of chorus you are going for and set the time slider below 50% with a repitch transition mode and the ping pong switch enabled. This creates a chorus/modulation effect because the sound is being widened and modulated through the use of delay, just as a typical chorus plugin would do. One of the quickest and easiest ways to make a sound wider in your mix is to delay one channel from the other by less than 40 milliseconds. This technique works because of the Haas Effect, which explains that the human brain’s delay threshold lies at 40 milliseconds and above and that any two sounds which fall closer together than 40 milliseconds will be perceived as one sound. To use Delay to achieve this effect and widen your sound, simply set the dry/wet knob at 100%, unlink the left and right channels, and ensure that one of the two channels has a delay time of less than 40ms while the other remains unaffected by the delay. Have you ever wanted to make your sound like it is slowing down like it would if it were on a stopping tape? This effect can be really cool to use in productions, especially for transitions.īecause classic tape machines change pitch slowed down or sped up, using the repitch mode, which emulates tape machine behavior when the delay time is altered, can be used to create a tape slow down when the delay time is automated.
