Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi guys - I would be very interested in hearing what type of delays 
most people use. Does everyone stick with Stereo Delay and Tape Delay 
within Logic or are there other ones that you prefer? I remember that I 
loved the Ohmboyz Delay but couldn't get it when I moved to OSX about 2 
years ago. Now I am interested in purchasing it again, but would really 
wanna know if anybody on the list has any better suggestions.

Many thanx

I often use the Logic delays. I think Ohmboys is on X now though. I also 
liked the big PSP delay but it seemed a little complicated. They also make a very 
nice reverb/delay emulation but its like using a rack unit with no graphics 
and hard to control it seems.   I think the Waves delay is very nice, quick to 
get a result and good graphic display, but I have had so much hassle getting 
their stuff installed and they are so expensive. There is also the UAudio Roland 
Echo emulation. I was almost going to buy it, but it seemed like it was good 
at weird things, and the basic useful stuff could be emulated in Logic plugs 
pretty decently.

I use Logic delays too. Love the stereo delay when you start 
crossfeeding between the channels of different settings. Nice effect 
with Tape delay being a close second. Thanks for suggestions - Will 
definitely need to do some more digging around. (still am not happy 
with Spectral Dealy of NI, which I must be somehow not using its full 
power......)

cheers,

Logic's Stereo Delay, Tape Delay, NI Spectral Delay and Sound Toys  
Echo Boy are the only plugs I use these days really.
95% of the time it is Echo Boy, which is TDM /RTAS only.
Eventide Band Delays is nice as well, but it is more of a modulator  
than a delay unit- again TDM only.

Logic's stereo delay seems to get out of hand pretty easily. I think I might 
need to check PSP's 42 and 84 reverb/delays again - I got some good results.

What I have been doing lately is making two buses - one with a 1/4 dealy and 
one with 1/8 delay, turn the feedbacks to 0, and then eq them differently and 
use them on sends. Gives you quite a bit of control.

I love the LP tape delay. Check out the "hidden" option where you can  
control the amount of distortion. I also have the UAD-1 Space Echo  
plug-in, which sounds amazing, but is a resource pig. I can't use it  
on a bus or aux return at 88/24 without getting the disk too slow  
message. And I have a G5 dual 2.5! I can work around it if I  
absolutely need that sound. It's actually easier to hook up a real  
Space Echo but my "real" one is in rough shape and doesn't sound as  
good as the plug-in.

How do you do that?

I just got Ohmboys on the group buy for 40 euros. It capable of quite a bit 
of mayhem, although it only holds 8 presets at a time, you can't tell which 
preset is loaded, and its a bit hard to control. But sonically it has a lot of 
variety

I also have Ohmboys...in fact I have all of the Ohm Force plug-ins. 
You are correct that these are nice plugins...certainly can mangle
audio beyond recognition (or add nice subtle changes depending on your
taste).  But you nailed the two biggest disappointments I have with
all of the Ohm Force plugins:  (1) they only holds 8 presets at a
time, and (2) you can't tell which preset you are on.  I would think
this would be an obvious complaint for the Ohm Force fellas to pick up
on and fairly easy to correct!

I don't want to give the wrong impression...they are good plug-ins. 
But when you are dialing for a preset it takes only 30 seconds to go
through 8 presets before you have to load 8 more...really slows down
the creative process.
