AuthorTopic: Delay Lama on latest Erasure album!

Just a quick note (and sorry if it's been picked up on before) - listening to the latest Erasure album "Other People's Songs", and midway through track 3 "Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me") is a brief 'solo' by what is almost certainly Audionerdz's freeware Delay Lama plugin. It's a pretty distinctive sound!

I'm sure this is far from the first time a freeware plug has made it into a major record release, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Props Audionerdz! (And let's hope Mr. Clarke made his donation to Save Tibet... Smile )

i haven't heard the song, but perhaps it could be that plug that comes with cubasis as well... from what i've read its pretty much the same thing as delay lama

Actually, the sound of Delay Lama is not that distinctive.
Almost anything using FOF would sound exactly the same.
It would not have this really nice Tibetan monk though... Very Happy

Yeah, I recognize that the FOF algorithm is fairly universal and well-known, and Delay Lama certainly isn't the only implementation. The sound on the album, though, had modulations which sounded very much like what you get from tweaking the Lama in real-time using the X/Y display; plus the "echo" effect on it was strikingly similar...

(Hmm. "Tweaking the Lama"... good album name.)

yeah i noticed that sound too. I was in the pub when I heard it. I was just about to remark to my mates "I bet that's delay llama" when I remembered they're not musicians and would wonder what the hell I was talking about..... I'm glad I didn't imagine it though

Erm...
I did an interview with Vince in December. He did insist that (beside from synthesized vocal on Video Killed the Radio Star which Andy just refused to sing) he used hardware synths only--as he's not much of a computer boffin. Even the above mentioned synthvoice was programmed by Mr Clark's bro Wink

Actually, "Tweaking the Llama" would be a much better euphemism for masturbating... but to each their own!
