Voxengo Sound Delay

In music production, delay is one of the most accessible effects, and therefore one that is used very often. If you’re producing music with a DAW, then you most likely have encountered this effect and have already experimented with it during your first tries at composition and mixing.

Its function is to, well, delay a sound, giving it a bit of an echo. In fact, “echo” and “delay” are two terms that are often used interchangeably. Depending on how much of this effect you use (and what other instruments and effects you combine it with), you can make a sound fuller or downright trippy.

If you feel limited by the delay options in your digital audio workstation, you can always add a plug-in that gives you a few more extra features. Voxengo Sound Delay is one such plug-in; it’s free and it comes with a basic interface that lets you adjust parameters with knobs.

You can control delay directly from an audio signal in both milliseconds and samples. The program comes with a few presets (mostly for sample delay) and even with a few customizable color themes. It is designed only to create a basic delay effect, without providing any signal feedback or modulation.
