With that in mind, you can experiment and EQ to find the perfect setup for your mix. When you’re using the low-pass filter, you can expect the depth of the delay to be enhanced. Here are some sample settings I use for the high-pass and low-pass filters:Īs a general guideline, when you use the high-pass filter you should expect the clarity of the delay to be enhanced. Using high and low pass filters on the slap effect of your track is a great way to add separation and depth to your vocals. Depending on how full your mix is, these may or may not be necessary but are always great to experiment with later after you have the basic under control. There are multiple ways that you can shape and mold the basic slap delay effect to give it a distinct character and fit better in your song’s mix. To calculate these values for any BPM you have a quick formula to figure out the ms for 1 beat in milliseconds: 60,000 / BPM = 1 beat in milliseconds.Īdvanced Variations on the Basic Slap Delay Try factors such as ½, ¼, and ⅛ of your song tempo and see which mixes in rhythmically.įor example at 100bpm, a quarter note works as a delay time of 600ms, you can then half or quarter this value a number of times to get delay times that are always on beat with your song. Because of this, your track has a more open sound which reduces possible muddiness and creates some depth as a reverb would.Īnother thing to note is that the delay timing may work best when synced to the main tempo of your song. If you have the delay directly on the affected track then you may adjust this knob to change how much of the effect is mixing into the original vocals.įrom these settings, you get one 100ms delayed repeat of your vocals from both L and R at the same time.Īs you can hear, this effect is reminiscent of a short reverb effect but is different in the fact that it’s not a continuous release. Dry/Wet is at 100% because this effect is being placed on a return track.However, you can experiment and push this up to 10% but beyond that, it’s not exactly a slapback anymore.
