Free lesson preview · No account needed

What you'll learn

Build front-to-back depth with pre-delay, decay, and delay throws. How pre-delay, decay, and delay throws create front-to-back depth.

Key takeaways

  • 20–60 ms pre-delay keeps vocals clear and close
  • Decay should finish before the next phrase
  • Dry = close, wet = far — use it to build depth
  • Delay throws highlight single words or lines.
