Dotted eight delay "note value" settings

For a simple dotted 8th you only need a single delay time unless you want a stereo spread.

Dotted 8th = 3/16

You would only need two note values if you wanted something like a quarter note with a dotted 8th together.

I don't find two delays with the same setting gives much of a stereo spread anyway. A single Delay with 3/16ths is all you really need.

For a stereo spread try a subtle stereo chorus or the Stereo Widener Effect before the delay.

For a take on the dotted 8th delay in stereo try this:

Use the Rhythm Delay

Set the mix fairly high, say 70 or higher

Feedback at 0 or very low

Note Value 1 at 1/8 dot

Note Value 2 at 1/4

Note Value 3 at 1/4 dot

Note Value 4 at 7/16

Volume 1 at 10

Volume 2 at 2

Volume 3 at 2

Volume 4 at 1

Panorama 1 at 0

Panorama 2 at +100

Panorama 3 at -100

Panorama 4 at +100

Stereo at 100

Ducking at 0

As always, tweak around until you find something you think is cool.

I spent a bunch of time a few weeks ago messing around with the delays and discovered two things:

the dotted 8th delay needs to be way louder than the other delays and

the dotted 8th delay need to be up the center (that is, not panned)

I also came up with another "flavor" where the first two delays were short (1/32 and 1/16) and panned hard left and right, the third delay was the dotted 8th (up the center) and the last delay was 1/4 and panned. Try setting the dotted 8th delay volume at 10, the 1/4 delay at 2, and the two shorter delays in the 2-8 range.

If you REALLY want get crazy stereo/panning, try using both of those at the same time.
