Hey Andre,

The long delay was set to a Quarter Note delay, which in the case of this song is about 612ms. The exact timing of the delay will depend on the tempo, or bpm, of your track. With the Feedback set to 0% there’s only one repetition per play. Then, there’s an EQ inserted after it to give the delay a telephone sound. In this case a bandpass filter is used, meaning that both the High Pass Filter and Low Pass Filter are enabled. They are set to around 500Hz and 3000Hz. Finally, the send to the delay is automated so that the delay only plays on certain parts.

P.S Apologies for the very delayed response, we’re new to disqus.

Hey great tutorial! I noticed that you didn’t use any additive eq. Did you use some eq going in (out the box?) if so where did you boost? I recently purchased a presonus eureka and I use some compression going in but I’m nervous about using the eq since I don’t know exactly where I want to boost/cut and I don’t want to do anything irreversible that will ruin a good take. Where (if you remember) did you guys boost/cut for these vocals? I do mainly rap and r n b so what would be some good starting points for me on the eq and compressor? Also if instead I decide to eq in the box where would I place it in the chain you’ve presented? Would it be in the same eq that you did your cuts on or on a second eq after the compressor? Thank you so much and I apologize for all the questions I just want to truly utilize my first channel strip. Also for vocals how much saturation would be good?
