A classic ‘ping-pong’ delay effect, for example, will appear to jump from one side of the mix to other, usually working with a tempo-based time division. Super StereoĪs the name suggests, Stereo Delay is specifically designed as a means of creating delay effects that vary between the left and right-hand channels. As you’d expect, both of the Flutter and LFO controls come in really useful on guitars and vocals, where the extra warmth and pitch modulations sound pleasing to the ear. The LFO control modulates the delay time, effectively creating the shimmering effect we know of as Chorus. In the case of the Flutter controls, we have a direct emulation of the small pitch instabilities that occurred on tape (especially when the mechanism wasn’t kept particularly clean), which you can add in varying amounts.
Based on a single delay line, Tape Delay is arguably the most straightforward delay plug-in to work with, whereas the other two delay plug-ins – Stereo Delay and Sample Delay – have a separate delay tap for each side of the stereo signal.Īs we’ll see later on, despite the apparent appeal of a true stereo delay, it can also create its fair share of sonic problems that can impair the effectiveness of your mix. Whether or not you like ‘lo-fi’ treatments, I’d strongly recommend Logic’s Tape Delay plug-in as your primary plug-in for delay-based tasks in mixing. Each delay plug-in brings a unique set of parameters, as well as a definable sound, so it’s well worth understanding how best to exploit these traits. Recognising this, Logic Pro X includes three principal delays effects – the aforementioned Stereo Delay, Tape Delay, and Sample Delay – which can be used for a number of different audio effects. Like Compression, EQ and Reverb, delay is a great way of adding interest to vocals, synths, guitars and a range of other instruments. Arguably the most welcome developments have been the sonic functionality in Logic’s Delay plug-ins – including Stereo Delay, Tape Delay, and Sample Delay – adding improved routing options, distortion and so on. From the vintage-styled Compressor to a range of sample-accurate metering options, Logic’s plug-ins have not only received a visual upgrade, but also some important functional improvements. It’s great to see a range of plug-ins receiving a much-needed facelift as part of the continual development of the application.
