Delay time, level, and feedback parameters
Conveniently, most delay effects have many of the same features and parameters. What I'll be sharing with you in this course will apply to all delay effect plug-ins, the ones you already have in your studio and others you may acquire in the future. Three of the most important delay settings are input/output level, delay time, and feedback. Input/output levels are pretty self-explanatory. The goal is usually to set input and output levels so that there's no significant gain change happening as a result of passing the audio through the delay. That is we use the faders in the DAW, or on the mixing console, for major level adjustments and try to pass signals into and out of the delay processor without too much level change. Watch the input level to make sure the device isn't overdriven to the point of distortion, unless of course distortion is part of your intended effect. Next, we need a way to adjust the timing of the delay. So a time parameter is provided. You can set your delay in…
