Can you post the preset? I'm curious what sound you came up with.

not sure how to post the file here (not working), so here's a screenshot (it's super simple); play with the L delay time to get it wider, or closer..

With all Valhalla plugins you don't need a file to share a preset. Simply click "Copy to clipboard" right on top of the preset-menu and then paste it here...


just like so (that's the default preset):
<ValhallaDelay pluginVersion="2.5.0" presetName="Default" Mix="0.5" DelayStyle="0.0" DelayLSync="0.25" DelayLNote="0.2000000029802322" DelayL_Ms="0.300000011920929" DelayRSync="0.25" DelayRNote="0.2000000029802322" DelayR_Ms="0.300000011920929" DelaySpread="0.5" DelaySpacing="0.5" DelayRatio="0.6141414046287537" RepeatSwell="1.0" TapA="1.0" TapB="1.0" TapC="1.0" TapD="1.0" Feedback="0.3499999940395355" Width="1.0" DriveIn="0.0" Age="0.5" Diffusion="0.0" DiffSize="1.0" LowCut="0.0" HighCut="1.0" ModRate="0.2738341093063354" ModDepth="0.5" Wow="0.5" Flutter="0.5" FreqShift="0.5" FreqDetune="0.5799999833106995" PitchShift="0.5" PitchDetune="0.5" Mode="0.0416666679084301" Era="0.3333333432674408" Ducking="0.0" Reserved2="0.0" Reserved3="0.0" Reserved4="0.0"/>

Thanks for posting, it sounds good. Here is the preset if anyone wants to try:

Code: Select all

<ValhallaDelay pluginVersion="3.0.5" presetName="HiFi ADT" Mix="1.0" DelayStyle="0.2520000040531158" DelayLSync="0.25" DelayLNote="0.2000000029802322" DelayL_Ms="0.03200000151991844" DelayRSync="0.25" DelayRNote="0.2000000029802322" DelayR_Ms="0.0" DelaySpread="0.5" DelaySpacing="0.300000011920929" DelayRatio="1.0" RepeatSwell="1.0" TapA="1.0" TapB="0.0" TapC="1.0" TapD="0.0" Feedback="0.0" Width="0.0" DriveIn="0.0" Age="0.0" Diffusion="0.0" DiffSize="0.0" LowCut="0.0" HighCut="1.0" ModRate="0.7408660054206848" ModDepth="0.09600000083446503" Wow="0.5" Flutter="0.5" FreqShift="0.5" FreqDetune="0.5799999833106995" PitchShift="0.5" PitchDetune="0.5649999976158142" Mode="0.0833333358168602" Era="0.6666666865348816" Ducking="0.0" Reserved2="0.0" Reserved3="0.0" Reserved4="0.0"/>

apologies, but that's the worst one i've tried so far. adds an edge to the eq, and phasey-sounding. maybe it's ok without something to compare to tho.

let me know if that works for you, and if anyone's tweaked it, please post it! am sure it could be improved upon

All the plugins I would recommend are iLok, but it looks like iZotope actually has a free one, so that might work.

nice! will check those out, thanx

fwiw, for me, reel ADT sounds great, and has great options. the patch in valhalla delay is cleaner, simpler... and will be a good alternative, when i want that
