Sound Delay

(I liked the other review. There you can find all information of how to use this plugin. But after more than 10 years of the old review, I want to add something to it and tell you why I give this plugin 5 out of 5 stars, and not just 4.)

When you first take a look at the plugin, it doesn't actually quite look very nice. The UI is a little confusing and you don't know what to do with it. I got it for a long time in my plugin library now, but never used it until today because I didn't understand how to use it properly.

It is actually quite simple. Way simpler than it looks like.

You have the top section, where you can delay the signal in milliseconds (MSEC) and the bottom section, where you can delay the signal in samples. Both sections work additionally, so the final delay is the sum of both. If you let one section out it is fairly okay; then only the delay of the other is counted.

Each dial belongs to a decimal position of either a millisecond or sample, and just like a mathematical abacus (if you're familiar with this stone-old math device), You're adding entities of units and units to get a sum. F.e. you pull the dial of the parameter x0.1 to the value 2, and the parameter x0.01 to 3, and you will get a delay of 1 millisecond (msec) * (0.1 * 2) * (0.01 * 3) = 0,23 milliseconds.

x1 milliseconds = 0,001 second
x10 milliseconds = 0,01 second
x100 milliseconds = 0,1 second
x1000 milliseconds = 1 second.

Adding samples works similar.

As a help, you can get the resulting value easily in each seaction by reading the values inside of the black boxes below dials together.

Now if you don't like calculating like this to get the value you desire, you also have the option to type in the delay value (ms) in the field at the top right corner of each section directly.

The summary max in the recent version is 12 seconds, that is all knobs panned to the right.
So you can create delays from 0.01 milliseconds up to 12 seconds now.

What to add?

The routing of the other reviewer is fairly much complexer than necessary because, and that is the reason why this plugin earns 5 stars, you can do this already inside of the plugin itself (giving the premise that the signal is already stereo, even tough it might be just pseudo stereo - dual mono).

This plugin has the possibility to delay the right and/or the left channel (Dual Mono mode) or the Mid and/or Side channel (Mid-Side Stereo mode) independently. No hard setup or routing required.

Even in the terms of Mid/side processing this makes this plugin very outstanding. You might be able to find alternative plugin to delay either the left or righ channel of a stereo signal, but not a single one to do this with the sum and difference.
