Ableton Live has a number of excellent delay plugins, but did you know that you can use them for a lot more than just echo? In this video I explore 6 creative ways you can use Ableton’s delays in your music making.
00:00 - Intro
00:15 - Create Width with Delay
03:21 - Tape Effects with Delay
04:44 - Analog-style Chorus and Flanging with Echo
08:20 - Analog-style Looping with Echo
12:20 - Pitch Shifting with Grain Delay
In the video you’ll learn how to create stereo width using Ableton’s Delay and something called The Haas Effect; how to get fun tape-style pitching effects also using Delay; how to create analog-style Chorus and Flanger effects as well as interesting analog-style loop textures with Ableton’s versatile Echo device and you’ll learn how to use Ableton’s Grain Delay to create a granular pitch shifter.

In the video I also discuss two concepts; The Haas Effect and Mono Compatibility. Learn more about those below.
👂 THE HAAS EFFECT
The Haas Effect is a psychoacoustic phenomenon that creates the illusion of stereo width by splitting a mono single into separate left and right channels and then delaying one of the channels by a few milliseconds.

🔈 MONO COMPATIBILITY
Mono compatibility refers to making sure that your mix sounds as close as possible to the stereo version if its ever played back in mono (which is more often than you might think!)
