Waves H-Delay

It's on sale for $99 and even cheaper at Waves Universe, and it includes a $100 Waves voucher. Try it, then buy it. I got it a few months ago and it's become an instant favorite.

waves multip tap allows a midi trigger to allow groove delays.

no thanks, i can use the delay from my own DAW

Yep, SuperTap is also a cool delay. Personally, I don't care much for the UI, but it's very flexible and also cheap (on sale for $64 - cheaper at WU).

How is this any different/better than the 5 other delays I already have?

Not trollin' just curious.

Yeah i have so many from lexicon and so forth, how is this any different?

I'm not saying it's better, just different. I like it and I thought I'd let people know about it, since it's on sale and includes the voucher. If you don't need another delay, then the solution is simple: ignore it. Yes, you can even ignore the "Try it, then buy it" statement, as it wasn't really a command and you do have options.

That said, H-Delay has some pretty good range for sculpting the sound of the echoes and it has a pretty nicely laid out interface IMO. YMMV.

No I really meant why is it different, no trollin'

I'm always on the lookout for more delays that aren't a pain to program and add a little bit of different spice.

I figured you weren't trolling, but the others...well, you know.

You might want to check this out then. As you can see above, the interface is very neat and it's very easy to find everything at a quick glance. The different analog modes, filters, and modulation make it very easy to tweak the delays from clean to virtually useless with little effort. Seriously, though, there is a lot of usable range in those parameters, most of which are focused on achieving "warm" and "analogue" delays. You'd have to hear it for yourself, of course.

Hey man i was being honest for once, lets be friends.

I think delays are one of those taken for granted plugins. Using Timeless recently really opened my eyes (ears?) to what's possible, but I just hate, hate the GUI.

Might give this a whirl.

Not to high-jack the thread, but since it's also a wave product that's on sale right now, does anyone have an opinion about H-EQ? I've been looking for an affordable yet powerful equalizer. I tried the demo version and it works pretty well, but I wanted the input of other users.

I cant stand the GUI either.

Tbh the waves H delay is nice, but nothing amazing or unique like the Gforce Ohmzboyz delay[what ever they call it] or Timeless.

waves multi tap as far as I know is still the only delay that can be set via midi to allow for groove templates and not produce artifacts while changing tempo. I made a post searching for something to do this along time ago. in all my searching, this was the only one. Logic Delay designer can do it but you have to enter values by hand this not really able to automate any changes if the groove is different.

No argument here. H-Delay is more like a bread-n-butter delay - it's easy to use, sounds good, etc., but definitely not optimized for the wildly modulated stuff. Speaking of bad GUIs, uggh, anything OhmForce. OhmBoyz is great, but I hate looking it and it's not the easiest thing to tweak. Pfft - French people, always trying to be so extravagant.

And, briefly getting back to the SuperTap, when I want my echoes to groove, that one is second in line behind EchoBoy.

if soundtoys was 64 bit, and allowed you to import midi files so you didn't have to do it by hand as the resolution ain't so great, it would be the winner by far. It is frustrating how nobody can really nail something that you couldn't find a feature that would make it so much better.

Yes

If only somebody were developing a powerful delay unit with a straightforward GUI that was 64 bit and looked really cool.

Imagine that.

Fuck, I love that delay. I don't have it at home though so always end up using the really basic logic delay.

supertap is throwing garbage at me with gradual tempo changes in ableton

If you do an abrupt bpm change it's rock solid but if you just drag the tempo around theres noticable static, probably the best one could hope for though

yup. Damn. The last time i did this was in V8. And I had turned off dlc. Not really sure at this point.

I asked someone about this and what they do is print the delay and then time warp it so that there are no pitch artifacts but it changes with time.

anyways, i sent them an email.

Bitch when are you going to show your new tracks? I'm intrigued?

they are in the works. But when the album is done, it won't be under my name.
