In this installment of Foundations of Audio, author Alex U. Case explains the fundamentals of delay and modulation effects and how to apply these effects, technically and creatively, to improve the sound of a mix. The course covers adjusting individual parameters such as delay time, level, and feedback; working with long delays to create echoes, enhance groove, and add support; using delay modulation for chorus and doubling effects; and dialing-in spectral effects from delay, such as flanging. This course also includes Get in the Mix (GITM) sessions for both Avid Pro Tools and Apple Logic Pro. Exercise files are also included with the course.

Topics include:

Adjusting the delay time, level, and feedback parameters

Utilizing a low-pass filter and polarity reverse

Setting up an effects loop

Setting the delay time by tempo or by ear

Understanding the distinct uses of short, medium, and long delays

Adjusting modulation rate, depth, and shape

Adding double tracking and spreader effects

Manipulating tone with constructive or destructive interference

Creating a comb filter and flange effect
