preventing delays from "stacking"

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to prevent delays from stacking with each other.
I don't know the term for it, but here's what i'm trying to say. the delay that was activated the note before overlaps the note that's currently playing and it sounds twice as loud. Is there a way to prevent this? |

| Are you using a multi-tap delay? What are the timing settings on your delay (e.g. 2/16 or 3/16 or whatever)? |

Actually I'm using fruity delay. I do sort of a multi-tap effect by stacking the two delays together.
As for turning down the feedback, yeah that will work but the problem with that is that there is still a noticeable amount of this stacking. |

One easy way to avoid "stacking" if you're using two delays is simply to pan one hard left and the other hard right. |

Hm. Or maybe you can try... sidechained compression! Perhaps a little tough to get the settings right, but it might work.
Heh, that reminds me, anyone remember that old Chris Rock routine re: Robutussin? Sidechained compression is the cure for everything. |

| Sounds like he went with compression, possibly sidechained, but I'm curious to see how it turns out. Maybe combine that with some panning separation to keep it a little bit cleaner. I've never tried it on delay like this, but I can imagine doing it in the future. I love interesting delays... |
