Vocal Delay block / tab

Delay is often referred to as “echo” and emulates

sound “bouncing” or repeating at regular inter-

vals. As opposed to Reverb – whose reflections

of sound can be somewhat chaotic in the rep-

resentation of a physical space – Delay is much

more consistent in its sound output.

Typically, Delay is used either as a special effect,

with levels high enough to be clearly heard, or as

a more subtle companion to Reverb.

Using Delay as a special effect can create very

interesting highlights within a performance but

can, like Reverb, become distracting or over-

whelming when used too heavily.

Stereo Delays can be especially interesting if you

are performing with a stereo PA or for studio re-

cording.

Tips and tricks for working

with the Vocal Delay effect

– Make sure to set the correct tempo for any

Preset with Delay, either

– via tempo tapping (see “Tapping tempo” or

– on the Delay Edit tab.

Delay timed to your song sounds great, while

off-time delays can sound terrible.

– Experiment with different amounts of the

Feedback parameter. More Feedback cre-

ates more echoes, while very low amounts of

feedback can create “Call and Answer” style

effects.

– Try out the various Filter Style options within

the Delay Edit screen. They allow you to make

the “echoes” of your Delay sound different.

These filter styles can add interesting effects

to your delays – such as megaphone, radio or

lo-fi sounds – or mimic the sound of classic

analog and digital hardware delays.

Filter Style parameter

– When using Delay on both your guitar and vo-

cals, experiment with using the same OR dif-

ferent divisions on each Delay to crate inter-

esting rhythmic landscapes.
