Jason Levine – Healing People Daily with the Power of Digital Video & Audio

Hello, my friends. In this excerpt, we'll continue the vocal treatment process and focus on using the Analog Delay effect in Adobe Audition 3. This particular analogue-modeled effect is one of my favorites, as it makes it very easy to genuinely mimic the classic, retro sound of old-school tape delays (think Echoplex, or even a Revox A/B-77) and easily customize the repetitions/feedback, delay times, and 'trash' (ie, frequency degradation) of the echoes it produces; it's also very lean on the processor, so you can use multiple delays without adversely affecting realtime performance. If you're looking for a great way to stylize your vocals, this effect will do the trick.
