AIR Dynamic Delay (RTAS)
You can use the Dynamic Delay Plug-In for a delay line that can synchronize to the tempo of
your audio sequence, and you can modulate the delay using an envelope follower.
The following table lists the AIR Dynamic Delay plug-in parameters:
Output Lets you lower the Output level of the distorted signal from 0–100%. At 0%, no distorted signal
passes through the output. At 100%, the distorted signal passes through the output at full
volume.
Tone Lets you shape the timbral quality of the distortion.
• Pre Shape — Lets you increase or decrease a broad gain boost (or attenuation) of treble
frequencies in the processed signal. Pre-Shape is essentially a pre-distortion tone control that
makes the distortion bite at different frequencies. Set to 0%, the Pre-Shape control doesn’t
affect the tone at all. Higher settings provide a boost in the high end of the distorted signal
(more treble distortion), while lower setting suppress the high end, with some mid-range
boost, for a darker less distorted tone.
• High Cut — Lets you adjust the frequency for the High Cut filter. To attenuate the high-end
of the processed signal, lower the frequency.
Clipping • DC Bias — Lets you change clipping from being symmetrical to being asymmetrical, which
makes it sound richer and more extreme at high settings. The difference is most noticeable at
lower Drive settings.
• Threshold — Lets you adjust the headroom for the dynamic range of the distorted signal
between –20.0 dBFS and 0.0 dBFS. Rather than using the Drive to adjust the signal level
relative to a fixed clipping level, use the Threshold control to adjust the clipping level
without changing the signal level.
Stereo When you enable Stereo, the control processes the left and right channels of the incoming stereo
signal separately. When you disable Stereo, the control sums and processes the incoming stereo
signal as mono.
Mix Lets you balance the amount of dry signal with the amount of wet (distorted) signal. At 50%, the
output includes equal amounts of dry and wet signal. At 0%, the output is all dry and at 100% it
is all wet.
You can use the Mix control in conjunction with the Output control to find just the right balance
of the distorted signal with the input (dry) signal. For example, with Mix set to 50%, equal
amounts of the dry and wet signal pass to the output. You can then lower the Output control to
decrease the amount of distorted signal passed to the output until you get exactly the right mix
between the two signals and the right overall level.
