Create a Dynamic Delay Effect

There is always more than one way to get somewhere, experiment.

If you don't have a dynamic delay plug-in or you like the sound of a different delay and need to create the dynamic effect here is how to do it: Side-chain

1.  Setup your delay how you would like it to sound in your mix.

2. insert a compressor with side-chain after your delay effect in the Aux track.

3. send your vocal track to an available bus

4. activate the key side chain on your compressor and assign it to the bus you selected

I understand there are plug-ins that already do this but this is so you can create your own if the plugin is unavailable or the studio you are working at happens to not have one or you can also take this guide and apply it to analog gear. Also keep in mind since all delays sound different and work differently if you happen to love the sound of a certain delay you can use this trick to get the dynamic effect for it instead of settling for a different one.

Hope this helps!
