Something to try if you have two amps is to have one amp with just the dry signal (to monitor your timing) and one amp to have the wet or delayed signal. Have the dry amp at a volume a little lower than the wet amp. The sound coming from the wet amp will really come to life once you get control of it.

The delayed sound with just the right amount of modulation creates an illusion of playing faster than I really am and just plain ole gets down and rocks.

That was some very useful information. I am not big on delay, but I will remember that method. It also occurs to me that your delay can actually be used as sort of a metronome to keep you in time while you play. If you get ahead of the delay you are playing too fast, behind the delay too slow.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/about-using-delay/#post-186104 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/about-using-delay/#post-186025 Tue, 27 Jun 2006 19:08:52 +0000
There is a way to use delay to synchronize echoes to your music. What I do is have the echoes play in time with each quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, and so on. Start by figuring the Delay Time needed to synchronize the echoes to each quarter note. To do this, just divide 60,000 (the number of milliseconds in one minute) by the current Tempo (measured in beats per minute) of your song. Which for a Tempo of 120 bpm, you get 500 milliseconds. If you set the delay time to 500, the resulting echoes will sound with a quarter note pulse.

To figure out the Delay Time for other note values, you need to divide or multiply. Because an eighth note is half the value of a quarter note, you simply divide 500 by two to get 250 milliseconds. A sixteenth note is half the value of an eighth note, so 250 divided by 2 is 125. See how that works? If you want to find out larger note values, just multiply by two. Because a half note is twice as long as a quarter note, you multiply 500 by 2 to get 1000 milliseconds.
