SUMMERY:

For this tutorial I'm going to show you how to set up an EQ Filter Delay so we end up with something much more interesting to listen to rather than the same sound repeated over and over again.

Start off my creating a mono aux track and insert your delay. For this purpose let's just use Avid's Extra Long Delay. Choose a piece of audio that would best serve the purpose for this tutorial. A chopped up guitar riff or something like that for example.

Now set up a buss send to the delay and set the volume for that buss so you can easily hear what's going on. Hit play and make sure the the notes you choose fit the song. Okay now this is where we are going to do things differently. Instead of adjusting the feedback in the plug-in we are going to do it through the aux track's fader.

First start off by creating a send back into itself. So on your aux track set up a buss send and choose the same option you chose for your guitar track (or whatever you used). You are now sending the delay back into itself creating your own feedback control. All you have to do is adjust the volume on the send to control how much feedback or delay you want. Be careful not to have it to high or you will really get some feedback.

Next is where we can really make it interesting. On that same aux track we are going to put an eq plug-in after the delay. Use a Hi Pass Filter to roll off some lows and do the opposite with a Low Pass Filter to roll of some Hi's. It's also cool to add some Hi Mids to really make it stand out. Take a look at the pic below:




Take a listen and you will hear that this can be a much more interesting way of using delays. You can also get really creative and use all kinds of different effect plug-ins to create cool sounds being repeated by the delay. Have fun.
