Course content

1 section • 11 lectures • 3h 41m total length

  • 01 - Introduction2:25

    Discover how delays duplicate a signal with variable timing to create effects such as reverbs, choruses, and flankers, using the mix control and Timeless 2 and Echo Boy.

  • 02A - Echoboy Parameters33:06

    Explore echoboy parameters across modes like single, dual, and rhythm echo, and master controls including mix, feedback, width, left-right offset, diffusion, wobble, and saturation.

  • 02B - Timeless2 Parameters13:09

    Explore timeless2 delay’s filter-focused design, with per channel routing, multiple filters (Lopez, high pass, band pass), modulation via X and Y controllers, envelopes, and MIDI; compare tape and granular modes.

  • 03 - Delays for Rhythm28:39

    In delay masterclass, master delays for rhythm by using echo variations, feedback, and equalizers to groove a drum beat, then explore stereo, timing, and modulation techniques.

  • 04 - Delays for Stereowidth16:29

    Master stereo width by duplicating a channel and applying short delays under 30 ms, then vary pan, left/right modes, and mid/side with timeless for a precise, wide image.

  • 05 - Delays for Reverbs17:33

    Learn to build reverbs from delays by stacking diffusion, adjusting feedback, and shaping tone with built-in filters, gaining precise diffusion control and wide stereo via dual and rhythm echo modes.

  • 06 - Delays for Chorus & Flanging Effects18:18

    Learn to craft chorus and flange effects using short, modulated delays to simulate multiple voices, with chorus using longer timing differences and flange employing shorter delays and higher feedback.

  • 07 - Delays for Pitch27:20

    Explore how delays for pitch shape communication through brief phrases like but and so and through sms cues in everyday speech.

  • 08 - Delays with Sidechains28:35

    Learn to pair delays with sidechains using MIDI control, envelope generators, and dry/wet modulation to craft dynamic, sidechain-driven delay textures.

  • 09 - Creating a Full Song with Delays34:10

    Create a full song with delays by layering rhythm and melody. Learn practical steps from the delay masterclass to craft a cohesive track.

Description

The Shapeshifter of Music Production

Delays have been an important part of audio production and mixing ever since it was invented, more than 60 years ago!
Which is a pretty rare thing in this consumer-driven digital audio space, where a new plugin seems to see the light of day almost every week. The reason for it's long standing career? Versatility.

When you dive deep into the inner workings of "classic" effect processors you'll find that most of them are based on a delay in one form or another. This means that the opposite is also true, with delays we can re-create a whole bunch of effects, Reverbs, Flangers, Chorusses and even comb-filters which we can use to make melodies (or growling bass sounds).

That is the essence of this course, we're going to make sure your old delay plugins becomes your new favourite tool.
To showcase this we'll use a combination of Echoboy, by Soundtoys, and Fabfilter's Timeless 2 plugin. We chose these two plugins because they are designed in completely different ways. What this means is that you don't need both of the plugins to follow along with the course, or even one of them, all of the techniques are usable with most standard delays. As always we're most interested in learning new techniques. Tools are just that, tools.

This course, which features more than 3.5 hours of quality content, shows the true shapeshifting capabilities of Delays. To really drive this point home it ends with a video that shows how to create a full track, just with a delay plugin.
And yes, don't worry, we'll also talk about rhythmic delays..
