Creating delay effects overview
Delayed audio signals can be created in a number of ways. So far we've talked about making them with an analog tape machine. However, you'll most likely be using digital delay effects inside a digital audio workstation, your DAW. DAWs are particularly adept at handling delay effects. And unlike their analog counterparts, DAWs can be programmed to create any sort of delayed audio signal exactly as we require. You'll find a variety of plug-ins that can create delay-based effects in your DAW. To better appreciate what's going on in a delay, let's take a closer look at our audio. A waveform can be shown as a simple plot of amplitude versus time. That's it. Amplitude, how much signal, and time, when did it happen. Your music, your art, is entirely represented by just two dimensions, amplitude and time. When we introduce delay effects, we're simply grabbing that time dimension and bending it to our will. What happens when we hear an echo? It's a straightforward concept. Audio goes in, it…
