I probably just need more practise and TBO time (turn brain in), but I struggle getting delays to sound in mix like in my head( yes, perfect time for there’s the problem jokes!), what are peeps fav delay plug ins and why? Late, later and latest responses will be acceptable so don’t rush.  |

I like The Valhalla delay. I think it’s free. Does all the subdivisions, locks to tempo, has a filter section. Really couldn’t ask for more!

I love the Metric Halo Dirty Delay for crazy sh!t, but maybe because I got it as a "loyal customer". Other then the Fulltone TTE it's all I've used for noticeable delay effects.

All the usual suspects.. Echoboy, H delay, I also really like the Native Instruments one.

Valhalla Delay isn't free, it hasn't even been released yet! Been beta testing it the last few weeks. Could be the last delay plugin anyone will ever need. Highly recommended! You probably mean Valhalla Freq Echo, which is a simple free delay with a frequency shifter in the feedback path, which can make for some interesting shifting stereo effects, and allow you to crank the regeneration way higher than usual without runaway feedback oscillation. They are both great. valhalladsp.com/shop/delay/valhalla-freq-echo/ |

Waves H Delay is sort of my go-to

Echoboy was my go-to for years but ever since it came out I’ve been using Slate Repeater. I really love that thing.

I knew I was forgetting one, repeater is cool. If I only had one it would be good ole H delay.

I can’t really pinpoint why but it just sounds the best to me. I also find its layout intuitive and easy/fast to get what I want. If I bail on the Everything Bundle, I’ll buy that one outright.

I too find delays a bit confusing. I really need to do some homework. I used to have a Lexicon PCM 42 in my rack back in the day, and it was the easiest thing in the world to set. Right now I do use H-Delay sometimes, but I'm just guessing. Logic's delay is quite cool, it's cleaner than the H-Delay and does a fantastic John Lennon style slap back echo for vocals.

Used to use hardware or EchoBoy. Now that Line6 has re-released EchoFarm, I've sold off my hardware farms, and gone back to the plugin. For "fitting into the mix", it's the best I've found. It may only be AAX though. Not sure....

As mentioned above, Repeater is great! If you want something more off the beaten path, Echoes T7E does the Binson thing. The Massey TD5 still gets used a lot around here after all these years as well.

Mostly Echoboy over here. I do think Repeater may sound a little better, but for whatever reason (unlike ragan), i find Repeater confusing. I need to give it more time. Echoboy is reeeeeeeeally quick and easy to use. |

I usually switch between 3 with H-Delay being my go to with Echoboy when I want to tweak and Replika when I want something different.

Echoboy, and H delay here but really liked Line 6 Echo Farm whenever I've had the chance to try it, just not enough to pony up the dollars yet.

Oh, and I should also mention that Logic's Delay Designer is awesome in the right context. It isn't always right, but when it is right, it's really right.
I don't know if you're a Logic user or not, though.

It may only be AAX though. Not sure.... This really got my attention. But at $199 I'll wait to see if it ever goes on sale. Worth it. When PT abandoned TDM and went to AAX the EchoFarm dev's didn't upgrade EchoFarm to AAX. That ONE THING stopped me from upgrading PT to 11/12. For years. Ultimately, I got boxed into upgrading and I said screw it and bought several hardware units which are identical to the plugin. Used those for a few years, and then Line6 re-released EF in AAX. Whooohooooo. I sold the hardware (except for one which I'll hold onto "just in case".....) In the interim, I used EchoBoy for awhile, but I never really dug it and ultimately bought the hardware. It (EB) doesn't sit well in the mix for me. EchoFarm always sat so well for me - and still does. Especially the Deluxe Memory Man preset. It's not fancy, doesn't do dozens of multi-tap side to side delays and wild crazy stuff. But it's soooooooo organic and great sounding. My fav ITB echo plug of all time. Well worth the $199!! |

Echo farm was my go to for a while but now I think Mcdsp Ec-300 and UAD Precision Delay fit in a mix just as well and do a lot more. Echo Farm has a kinda mono sound about it and can occasionally be tough to dial in with certain material. The Precision is vastly underrated. H-delay and Primal tap get some use from me still, mainly as mono auxes. Echo boy has never really agreed with me much. A lot of the others call too much attention to themselves. Hornet deelay is another good one as is dirty delay. I just think the EC-300 set a new standard for some things. But it can’t beat the Precision at some things.
Another one that’s very overlooked is Nomad’s Echoes. I’ve only ever once used it but nothing else could give me what it did. It was on some guitar solos a guy did in his bedroom that were the only guitar parts going in the song. Actually, there was nothing else but bass and drums playing with the solo. I think I worked off the follower preset. Echoes has models of the oil can, echoplex, and a couple other classic devices.

H-Delay is the most used by me. Super simple and it just does what you need a good analog type delay to do. That's one of my most used plugins. I was skeptical of all the praise it got until I tried the demo. That was a quick buy for me. If I want something truly gritty, I go with Softube Tube Delay. It mangles the sound quite a bit. Kind of a special sauce type thing and I need to be careful where I use it. I've also got PSP Echo. Lots of features but I don't ever seem to go for it. I find H-Delay gets me there much quicker.
