Delays and echoes are the sauce that adds the required vibe to any modern vocal performance.
But don’t be fooled, not all delays are created equally! There’s short delays, long delays, bright delays and trippy delays just to name a few.
In this tutorial Fab Dupont guides you through how and why he sets up short, medium and long delays on a mix.
Learn about:
- When to use rhythmic delays
- What is the Haas effect
- Filtering your delays to create color in a mix
- Layering multiple delays
From subtle halos to sparkling spices, glowing auras to cushions of clouds, delays are an essential element of any modern mix!

Amazing! Thank you so much! So direct to the point and, yet, so valuable! Please, could you do one of these for EQ in each track of a mix in order to provide space in the mix for every instrument, to prevent phase issues and muddiness, to prevent overloading the mix bus compressors and so on?

He’s named ‘Fab’ for a reason, you know?!

At first i was a little put off by the snobbish french attitude of Fab....
But his humor grew on me , then in this intro I literally laughed out loud , all the coworkers thought I went nuts...

Should you use a Haas delay for all vocals, including harmony, doubles or background? Or is this primarily for the lead vocal?

Both the video and the content: fabulous. But Fab speaks very quickly and the translation written in Spanish sometimes does not give time to read it. There are also phrases that are not well translated (or Fab says strange things) and have no meaning in the context.
