You will have to play with it alittle. You will have to start the delay before you want to hear it to get the desired affect. God bless you!

I'd like to use it sparingly but with taste. (1) are there any articles available for ideas on this? (2) How do you use delay on a vocal track and where do you insert it to get the ultimate use from it, in automation recording? It's difficult to move the controlls quickly enough. (3) when I try to use an effect in the process menu by selecting a portion of the track,the delay seems to almost cut off a portion of the vocal, it's not smooth sounding. Any thoughts?
