PLUGIN #4 DELAY
We all know and love delay, and this effect needs no explanation nor
introduction. Everyone has their favorite flavor of delay, whether it be warm
and bubbly or pristine and clear. In the plugin world, there are quite literally
hundreds of delay plugins from which to choose, ranging from basic to
downright trippy. However, in the eyes of many audio engineers and studio
owners, there is one king that rules over the rest since its inception, and that
is the Echoboy, by Soundtoys. Many recording guitarists claim to ditch their
expensive hardware delays in favor of this lovely plugin for the mixing stage,
and for good reason. This delay sounds positively huge, fat and warm. It’s
incredibly versatile, and features a bunch of different delay modes from crisp
and clear studio tape delays to dark and cavernous Echorecs. I cannot sing
enough praises for this amazing plugin, and if there is only one plugin from this
list players absolutely must buy, this is my recommendation. Here’s why:
