Track Delay Post Recording
I mentioned in other threads that I occasionally use a bit of track delay on the R or L channel of a stereo recording. When I use it it is just a bit and the difference is subtle - say I may have perhaps a slight preference in warmth and/or centering I hear in my headphones (doubtful noticeable difference in room speakers).
So if you have some good headphones with good detail here is a bit of a recording of mine repeated twice w/o a track delay and then twice with 0.15 millisecond L delay. http://dcoombsguitar.com/Misc/TheClawDelayOffOn.wav

BTW, you may remember we were all playing around with the stereo enhancement trick Howard Emerson used some years back, where you do a pitch shift +/- on each side. I was never able to get it to work without getting glitches from the pitch shift. I recently came across the Eventide Microshift plugin, $39, if I recall. I tried it, and it seems to work quite well for this, no glitches, and it does create an enhanced stereo. I don't care for it on my stuff, so far, but it sounded good on Howard's tracks.

The Haas effect can widen the perceived soundstage as well as centration of it. The centration part can be compensated with tweaks in volume of R versus L channel - all within reason of course. Regarding pitch +/- pitch shifting I did like the the effect when I used it here with what is available in Ableton Live :http://dcoombsguitar.com/Guitar%20Mu...eThingDemo.wav

Greetings, the 3rd & 4th examples, left side is 100% wet .15ms?
I used to like wide everything, full mixes, solo acst gtrs, etc...as i started turning into a fossil though I go for it less & less, depending. On this recording I prefer the first two myself, at least in headphones...I think. Nice playing! |

Great playing! My feeling about this sort of thing is that if you need good headphones to appreciate it, it's not worth doing. Later on when the rest of the house is out of bed, I'll play them both on the studio rig and see how they mono out.

I have Grado headphones which have a quite detailed sound and I hear a difference. In the sample I posted the differences are small and preferences not surprisingly vary. As far as being worth doing, well it is very easy and quick to play with it. That said most of the time I don't use any track delays though it's worth it to me to take a minute to check it out.

I prefer the delayed version - just seems a little more balanced / warmer to me.

No, I got that...you moved it 0.15ms. I just wasn't sure if you did that or if had it through a stereo plug where one side was actually 100 percent wet at 0.15ms is all I meant.
