Chapter 2 Delay eects 72
Echo
This simple echo eect always synchronizes the delay time to the project tempo, enabling you to
quickly create echo eects that run in time with your composition.
Echo parameters
•
Time pop-up menu: Choose the grid resolution of the delay time in musical note durations,
based on the project tempo.
•
“T” values represent triplets.
•
“.” values represent dotted notes.
•
Repeat slider and eld: Drag to determine how often the delay eect is repeated.
•
Color slider and eld: Drag to set the harmonic content (color) of the delay signal.
•
Dry and Wet sliders and elds: Drag to set the amount of original and eect signal.
Sample Delay
Sample Delay is more a utility than an eect—you can use it to delay a channel by single
sample values.
When used in conjunction with the phase inversion capabilities of the Gain eect, Sample Delay
is useful for correcting timing problems that may occur with multichannel microphones. It can
also be used creatively to emulate stereo microphone channel separation.
Every sample at a frequency of 44.1 kHz is equivalent to the time taken for a sound wave to travel
7.76 millimeters. If you delay one channel of a stereo microphone by 13 samples, this emulates an
acoustic (microphone) separation of 10 centimeters.
Sample Delay parameters
•
Delay slider and eld (L and R in stereo version): Drag to set the number of samples that the
incoming signal is delayed by.
•
Link L & R button (only in stereo version): Turn on to make sure that the number of samples is
identical for both channels. Adjusting one channel value adjusts the other.
