I am wondering what is the proper way to set a delay effect to compliment a song? Say a song is 110 bpm, would I set the delay in factors of this?

Hey Daled!
Just do this: 60 seconds (one minute) is 60,000 milliseconds so:
60000ms/bpm (110 in your example) is 545.454 ms for a "tempo" delay.
Get it?
Peace.

PC,
That's an easy to understand formula. Is it absolute? if you vary the time in one direction or the other, how much leeway is there before it loses its effectiveness?

There's a whole range of delays having nothing to do with tempo. 10 to 60 ms can be used to thicken, spread, add depth, both stereo (each side slightly different settings) or mono.
Sometimes on voice for example, a very short set panned for spread, with a longer one, maybe with the highs trimed back, for tempo/feel up the center. Or a real hot full bandwidth 50-60 ms for that "I am the Walrus" crackle.

for calculating tempo delays at any beat interval (triplet, 3 eights, quarter, 7 16ths, etc...

I forgot...
yeah...a 1 to 3ms delay gives you a comb filter... move it and you'll have a flanger... 10 to 50/60ms gives you a chorus...
Bushice: It's very accurate, you can move it slightly to both sides without losing it unless you have an almost infinite feedback, but a difference of 0.5 ms won't be noticeable, in fact, the formula I told you sometimes gives decimal numbers and the delays I have don't have decimal settings, just milliseconds, so I adjust it a ms earlier for less than 0.5ms and a ms later for more than 0.5ms.
I mean: if the formula gives 523.36ms I set it: 523 ms.
if the formula gives 523.59ms I set it: 524ms
I never found myself changing the settings once I set them, I never noticed any loss of effectiveness.
Peace.
