Veracohr	Date: July 30, 2006 @ 2:33 PM Depends on the part and the effect desired. Sometimes it's good to use a non-synced delay. There's a school of thought that delay times should be set to prime numbers. But it all depends on what you're putting the echo on.

woodhead	Date: July 30, 2006 @ 6:19 PM Verachor good point, but one of the things I have learned is that if you want to use the delay for your vocals but do not want it heard but want the desired thickness you can get from it, then putting it in tempo is the way to go, the formula is actually quite easy, get your tempo divide it by 60 then multiply by the millisecond 120 / 60 = .5 seconds .5 x 1000ms = 500 milli seconds divide in half for 1/8 notes and round up if need be etc etc, it really does work and is a great tool. The whole reason I brought this up is I was giving advice to a Friend on using delay and thought it would be a good subject here.
EchoMinor	Date: July 30, 2006 @ 8:49 PM i love using delay, sometimes little amounts to give some depth to a solo. or some u2 styled delay for rhythm. its addicting
zedsalt	Date: July 31, 2006 @ 11:26 AM I think that the natural tendency is to time the delay to relate to the tempo in some comfortable manner. I have big fun coming up with the two different patterns to run in hard stereo. Makes for a SERIOUS headf**k for the headphone user! Any delay-based effect...phasing, flanging, chorus, etc. works well like that.

Veracohr	Date: July 31, 2006 @ 9:20 PM Woodhead, you divide 60 by the tempo, not the other way around. 120/60 is 2, not .5
Safix	Date: September 23, 2006 @ 5:16 PM I usually make the dealy by hand, without using any FX tracks. I just draw the notes and fade the volume with each step.
