Would like to hear some opinions on Delay plugins.... Primarily for vocals

 

Soundtoys Echoboy or Native Instruments Replika XT or Waves Hdelay.

 

fabfilter timeless 2

it does so much (without being too over complicated)

SoundToys EchoBoy is the only delay anyone needs. It does everything. (Replika is pretty good too for a few special effects)

 

Waves H-Delay is a no-brainer choice. The best delay plugin ever.

 

Ableton Simple Delay

 

the aforementioned plus relayer.

 

Replika XT is one of my best. Also Im like Melda's Multiband and Exponential Audio Excalibur.

 

For vocals defo the Eventide Harmonizers. Or the Softube counterpart Microshift, or PrimalTap.

 

Soundtoys Echoboy.

 

Steinberg Karlette.

But really, I use Replika a lot. Probably too much.

 

Surprisingly, Replika turned out to be extremely usable, a nice workhorse delay. I didn't upgrade to XT, but the original one has all you need, filters are there, there are dots and triplets, the ping pong is great and most importantly, the modulation which IMO made the plugin - phaser and filter, your choice. Another great choice is H-Delay which has been my go-to delay for many years now, there is tap function, delay up to 2 bars, a lo-fi mode, included filters and pitch modulation. I'd suggest making sure you turn analog to 1 or off since it introduces noise which is then heavily amplified by your master limiter on quiet parts of your tracks.

 

For basic delay needs, I alternate between Audio Damage DubStation and NI Replika. For more complex multi-tap stuff, I use Audio Damage Ricochet, NI Replika XT and PSP 608.

 

copy, paste, move. or-duplicate selected track, convert to unique copy, move.

 

That multitap by psps really good...Not the lexi......The 608 is it? Something like that, But damn its not for the faint hearted at all...But its impressive.....

 

Boz Imperial delay. It sounds great and is easy to use.

 

H-Delay Stereo, Replika XT .. there's literally no point on having anything else other than these two. If you can't achieve what you want with these, call it a day and try again tomorrow. :D

 

H delay

 

H-Delay again no match, also PSP stompDelay.
