delaying and then panning

[Verraes]

Hi,

When you have recorded a mono guitar part on one channel, Can you process it with a delay then, and then pan the original to one side (right) and the delayed signal to the other side (left). I've read about it but don't know how to fix it?

Thanks

Ooooh, I'm working with a computer and I'm using nuendo.

Definitely. But it also seems most of the delay plugs combine a left and right pair of delays and no pan controls for the echoes.
A work around if the plug is on the track insert is to set your delay time on both sides the same, then have the side the original' will be on set 100% dry. As you bring the other side's wet mix' up, you'll get a hard panned echo. As you bring the original' side's mix up (down? ) the delay will pan over.

Oh yeah... The track pan will still set the original voice as normal, but may not effect the echoes. From what I've seen the delays might get sent out as a stereo pair.

Real easy to do in a digital workstation even without a plugin. Just copy the track and move the track forward 10 or more milliseconds. Pan both hard left and right.

Rather than just doing this though, you may want to try running the track through a pitch shifter with a delay (panned to taste). Makes it feel a bit more like 2 separate guitar tracks.

Ah yes. You can go the route of printing them as effects tracks. Either way, a lot of the cool options for what a panned/spread thing might be include breaking that reflection up a bit from the orignal.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies and sorry for my late answer. I don't understand everyhing as good. When I 'm right, then I should use a delay as an insert effect? The panning has to be done in the delay itself an not by routing it anywhere else. The more I think about the more I realise I've got it wrong???

Thanks

just mess around with it, to be honest. that is the best way to learn. turn some knobs, pan some tracks, see what happens. if it sucks....then just do it again!

sitting here, waiting for our reply is the only thing slowing you down at this moment. mess around with a combo of everything, and you'll start to feel it.
