CHAPTER 6 148
Applying Stereo, Pitch, and Delay Effects
Dynamic Delay is especially cool when used as a real-time effect in Multitrack View. If
you add the dynamic delay (or Dynamic EQ, which has a similar principle) to Multi-
track View, you get a new envelope that determines the delay.
To use the Dynamic Delay effect:
1 Select an audio range (Edit View) or track (Multitrack View).
2 In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Delay Effects, and double-click
Dynamic Delay.
3 Set the desired options.
For more information, search for “Dynamic Delay options” in Help.
Using the Echo effect
This effect adds a series of repeated, decaying echoes to a sound. (For a single echo, use the
Delay effect instead.) You can create effects ranging from a Grand Canyon-type“Hello-
ello-llo-lo-o” to metallic, clanging drainpipe sounds by varying the delay amount. By
equalizing the delays, you can change a room’s characteristic sound from one with
reflective surfaces (creating echoes that have bright, shiny, high-end sounds) to one that is
almost totally absorptive (meaning very few high-end sounds are reflected).
Note: Make sure that enough silence is at the end of the waveform for the echo to end. If the
echo is cut off abruptly before it fully decays, undo the Echo effect, add several seconds of silence
by choosing Generate > Silence, and then reapply the Echo effect.
You can create striking stereo echo effects by setting different left and right values for the
Decay, Delay, and Initial Echo Volume controls.
To use the Echo effect:
1 Select an audio range (Edit View) or track (Multitrack View).
2 In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Delay Effects, and double-click Echo.
3 Set the desired options.
For more information, search for “Echo options” in Help.
