Sync your delay times to your DAW is quick and easy. At the heart of MagicDelay is the Curve Editor where you can draw up to 4 separate curves and fluently morph between them using the adjacent XY pad.įor a full explanation of curve editing check out our Curve EditorĬontrolling thousands of delay times sounds complicated, but we made this process really simple. Follow the links to go deeper and learn more. The following sections briefly describe the core capabilities of MagicDelay for shaping your own unique delay and bringing it alive. We proudly include presets from the artists I show you how to use the modulation matrix to craft different types of delay effects.And install the plugin to start your fully functional trial right away! No sign-ups, no hassle, just install and go! Artist Presets I explain how Timeless works and how to use it to achieve different delay textures. In the Delay Effect – what is it and how does it work video I use a drum beat sequence and run it through the detailed FabFilter Timeless delay effect plugin. Let me show you what it can do and how it does it. Reverb might be the ‘go to’ effect for most producers but delay is making up ground as one of the most versatile of all effects. For me, delays are one of the most, if not the most, potent of all the effects available as so many other effects can be achieved simply by altering the base parameters of the delay unit.Īs with reverb timing is everything. Drum beats can be livened up and shaped to produce a shuffle effect by the simple use of delays and a lot of today’s delay units, software, and hardware, allow for tap tempos, a function that allows the user to ‘tap’ their own delay times into the unit. Vocals can be both spread and thickened by using delays. Stereo width can be achieved by simply delaying one channel of the stereo file. Delays have been the preferred choice for creating space and width in a mix. However, the use of delay doesn’t end with simple repetitions of the dry signal. Today, we are afforded delay units with vast amounts of control from the pre-delay all the way to panning and retiming of the delays along with EQ and filter sections. Different amounts of time delays give different effects. This can create some unique time delays and allows the user more control over time. You can also ‘ tap’ a delay time into some of the more modern delay units. By assigning minimum and maximum values, the delay time will sweep between the two and create a ‘moving’ delay as the times vary over the set range. Modulation, varying the delay time over a particular range is another key parameter of time-based delays. The dub delay effect is achieved by feeding the output of the delay back into the input and if enough of the output is fed back into the delay unit the delay will start to self oscillate thus creating the famous ‘dub delay’. Echo, which is a very short delay of less than one second, is a common effect but doubling, flanging, phasing, chorus and ‘dub delay, are also very common. Control over the delays affords numerous different effects. Digital delays are far more precise and clinical but some have specific parameters that emulate tape delay. The beauty of analog delays, as opposed to their digital counterparts, is that the delays come across as more distant and ‘spatial’ as they are less distinct and coloured. Famous makes included the Watkins Copicat, Roland Space Echo (RE201), Echoplex and so on. Tape delays have been around for a long time and are still used today. Complex delay times could be formed by adjusting the distances between the playback heads. Additionally, the delayed signal could then be fed back into the record heads to create further delays and decays. The length of tape, tape speed and switching the head positions determined the delay time. A signal was fed through the tape via the recording head and a series of playback heads provided the delays. The earliest form of delay involved using tape loops that would record and playback the signal.
