using "velocity" as a delay

can be a great way to do simple transitions... if you have limited FX (on ur mpc), or limited CPU strength.. you can create a delay without using any effects. i know this is noooo new trick and i probably learned it on here years ago... but i think its good to keep those simple tricks in rotation .. here's a track from years ago where i used this trick a lot.. u can hear the first real clear time at the begining of the 4th bar (after hte intro)... but i do it many times throughout.. sometimes i think its just good to hear along with an example

Also a good way of rebuilding the tail of drum hits before resampling... good old Tutor and his books

yea, it's called fake delay and it's awesome! you can get more interesting effects than with regular delay fx, i mean more original and less usual

Useful for Pete Rock style horns

you can automate volume to make it sound a bit more natural

To be honest I never use a delay effect from a machine, I like to do it manually, this way, alot more. I have more control.

^ me too, but i didn't know about this trick. Pretty cool. Gonna have to give it a shot one day.
Thx

Classic trick and it definitely gives you more control. Another cool thing about doing delay this way is doing it in reverse ...kinda like a build up. Thanks for this reminder.

yea this is cool, i do this a lot both ways

lol that could be taken the wrong way
