Delay

An effects plugin. A general purpose stereo delay effect, suitable for tasks varying from track doubling, to early reflection generation, through simple harmonic enhancement. Processes in stereo or mono, depending on the track it’s applied to.

A graph shows the timing and intensity of the echoes generated by this plugin on each channel, and an Output meter displays the output level of the resulting signal.

Delay has the following controls:

Bypass: Toggles this plugin on and off.

Input Format: (Only visible when Delay is inserted on a multi-channel track.) Lets you choose how multiple channels are input to the delay. Stereo sets separate Left and Right channels. Mono sums Left and Right to both channels. Left inputs the Left channel only, and Right inputs the Right channel only.

Filters: Alters the proportion of frequencies that are included in the delay effect. When the Delay plugin is inserted on a Mono Channel, the Left and Right sections are replaced with a single “Delay” section.

Low Cut (Hz): A global High Pass filter.

High Cut (Hz): A global Low Pass filter.

Delay: Adjusts the timing of the delay.

Left/Right Delay (ms): Delay time of each channel.

Left/Right Feedback (%): Feedback % of the Left or Right channel back to itself.

A negative value equates to % of feedback with a phase reverse from the original signal.

Feedback: Controls for adjusting the amount of bleed between channels.

High Ratio: Adjusts the frequency of a damping filter for the feedback signal.

Stereo Blend: Adjusts the proportion of signal from Left and Right channel feedback which feeds into the opposite channel. When the Delay plugin is inserted on a Mono channel, Stereo Blend control does not appear.
