Adding Delays
Use the Delay effect to add analog and tape-style echoes to your tracks. This
vintage gear-inspired delay unit has unique features, including a delay meter that
lets you see and adjust the level and spacing of each echo generated.
To add a delay to audio, do this:
1. Select the media file in the library that you want to add the delay to.
2. If required, use range selection to select the portion of an audio file you want
to apply the effect to. See Range Selection for more information on selecting
a range of an audio file. If you don't select a range, the effect is applied to the
entire audio clip.
3. Decide whether you want to apply the effect on all the available channels, or
just one channel. See Selecting Channels for Editing for more information on
selecting channels.
4. Click Delay under the Apply Effect section.
5. Select the delay mode you want to use:
Tape: simulates vintage tape echo effects, including saturation and wow/
flutter characteristics.
Tape/Tube: another tape delay emulation, featuring additional tube
saturation simulating the warmth of old tube-based analog circuitry.
Analog: a lo-fi analog delay effect with smearing and analog degradation,
similar to analog guitar stomp boxes.
6. Use the available control sliders to customize the delay as follows:
Dry Out: sets the output gain of the dry signal without delay added to the
signal.
Wet Out: sets the output gain of the wet/delayed signal.
Feedback: sets the gain of the delay feedback. Higher values will result in
longer audible feedback times, i.e. more repeats.
Trash: sets the amount of degradation for the delay. For example, higher
Trash values for tape delays results in more saturation. Higher Trash values for
lo-fi digital delays results in more bit truncation and aliasing.
Spread: for stereo tracks only. Sets the stereo spread of the signal, from mono
