Just like chorus and flanger effects, a delay effect is also a member of modulation effects, where an audio sound is modulated by adding a time-delayed version of the sound to itself and then varying the size of that delay over a specific period of time.

The way delay work is taking an input signal to a storage buffer (it keeps the input sound in memory), and then plays it back at a later time as defined by the delay time, which is otherwise known as an echo effect.

Delay can add interesting vibes to your mix, consider the following example:

Here is a drum loop I am working on, I love how the element sits together, but, I’ll love to add some kind of delay to the clap to make it sound more groovy, here is the before and after:

With Delay:

Believe it or not, this is all done with delay, and I use it heavily when creating groovy drum loops, this just shows you how wide you can go with using delay.

Here is another example using a vocal, I added delay automation to the end portion of the vocal sample:

I can go on and on, but I’ll leave the rest to you, having said that, let’s dive into the best free and paid delay VST effects plugin I have ever come across, starting with…
