Delay effects
Logic Pro Delay effects overview
Delay effects store the input signal—and hold it for a short time—before sending it to the
effect input or output.
The delayed signal creates a repeating echo effect after a given time period. Each
subsequent repeat is a little quieter than the previous one. Most delays also let you feed a
percentage of the delayed signal back to the input. This can result in a subtle, chorus-like
effect or cascading, chaotic audio output.
The delay time can often be synchronized to the project tempo by matching the grid
resolution of the project, usually in note values or milliseconds.
You can use delays to double individual sounds to resemble a group of instruments playing
the same melody, to create echo effects, to place the sound in a large “space,” to generate
rhythmic effects, or to enhance the stereo position of tracks in a mix.
Delay effects are generally used as channel insert or bussed effects. They are rarely used
on an overall mix (in an output channel), unless you’re trying to achieve an unusual effect.
Delay Designer
Logic Pro Delay Designer overview
Delay Designer is a multitap delay. Unlike traditional delay units that offer only one or two
delays (or taps) that may or may not be fed back into the circuit, Delay Designer provides
up to 26 individual taps. These taps are all fed from the source signal and can be edited to
create unique delay effects.
Delay Designer provides control over the level, pan position, and pitch of each tap. Each
tap can also be lowpass or highpass filtered.
Further effect-wide parameters include synchronization, quantization, and feedback.
