Page 9 - slapback and analog delay in context
These examples are meant to show the effect of decay (the length of delay trails) on your sound in a given context. Notice how the short trails are desirable for a Slapback delay, while longer trails are more effective with Analog delay in certain contexts.
Page 10 - Delay Mix Parameters
These examples illustrate how your sound can be affected by different delay mix levels. There seems to be a sweet spot based on the context your are in, the type of delay you are using, and the way you choose to play with the delay on. As you listen to these clips, think about where the sweet spot would be for the type of music you are performing.
