Vocal Delay Effect
« on: June 29, 2016, 03:39:55 am »
I am wondering how the vox delay effect is achieved in this track:

3:24, 3:59

That rhythmic delay, and what kind of reverb is used. I am also wondering is there a reverse effect of the vox sample going on before the vox actually hits.

Will appreciate any tips or advice, thanks.

Isn't this just a regular pingpong delay?

I like this delay because you have independent control over left and right channel:

I think this delay and a fair amount of reverb could create the effect.

I don't think I hear a reverse effect but there is a lot of reverb on the delay.

EDIT: Maybe this is done by two seperate delay units and one of them is pitched a bit higher.

What do you mean? Like duplicate the vox track and pitch it up 1 octave and have it mixed with the normal vox track?

I won't be able to do this effect in h-delay then?

An octave would be way too much.

It's hard to hear, but maybe the sample is just two tones, then you don't need the pitching. I guess it's a very simple pingpong delay with lots of reverb.

I'm not familiar with H-delay.

How can you tell it's a ping pong delay?

And I mean, obviously I know it's a delay and a reverb. I've been producing for a few years so i'm not completely clueless. That's just not the answer i'm looking for at this stage and I don't mean to say that to be a dick, I appreciate the help as you are the only one who has responded. I need more specifics.

What pingpong delay? Is there a high feedback? Does having a higher feedback cause the delay to repeat/last longer? Is the delay automated? Is there a gate on the delay?What kind of reverb/room? Is this kind of effect better achieved by using delay and reverb sends or having the delay/reverb on the actual track channel? I usually always bus my delay and reverbs but obviously when you use them as a send they are not as powerful/accentuated.

I'm sorry but I don't know the answers to all the questions and I think it's strange to waste so much time on trying to recreate it while you can create something original, something new.
