Russell,
I'm very curious about what analog delays you used for Roy Hargrove's trumpet, there are a couple that really stick out in my mind.
The first is the second track on Hard Groove, at the very end, stereo delays.
The second is on the first track of strength, during Roy's solo. Was this done in real time, or after the fact? It seems like he plays off the delays, but that could just be your artful mastery. Gorgeous either way!
I'd love to know which delays you used, and in what way. (do you bring them back on a fader and ride for particular phrases, notes?) Thanks again for taking so much time to answer everyone's questions, I've found this all very inspiring. -Ryan Miller |
hello ryan,
thanks for comps
!
for delays i use pcm 42's, pcm 41's, maestro tube echoplex, and fulltone tube tape echo. the tape echo's can't do long delays in which case i'll turn to the pcm units. for "common freestyle" on "hardgroove", that's just one delay and i panned it from L to R. for 'rich mans welfare" on "strength" i put the delays on in the mix and just timed it that way.
yes for about 90% of effects i use, i do bring them up on faders and often ride them in places or turn them on and off. i treat delays like they're another instrument. they have to be seamless in the mix and as i've said before, they shouldn't sound like a gimmick, it should sound like they belong there.
all the best
