how to record delay and panning together?

[williamyeow]

hi guys... i kinda new in soft... and especially in recording...
anyway... i always wonder how those pple in studio do this effect.

the guitar solo is in the left channel... and the delay version is in the right channel. for example... the beginning intro of the song by extreme "our father" from the album 3 sides to every story.

eh my guess is the pple in the studio just copy that specific part and delay it?
is there any other way to do it??

can live performance do such thing??

Regards
i a newbs

???? I don't really understand ur question but u see if my explaination is what u are looking for.

Modern delays are done very differently that what was done in the past. Delays were used to be done on the tape machine itself, using 2 decks, where one reel is physically held down to slow the speed of one deck to create a delay of the other deck.

Today there are digital delay machines which does the delay. There a few ways to do it. One way is u split the audio signal off an aux or insert and send to the delay machine which give u a delayed signal. U then route this delay signal back into the board and mix with the original signal to give you the end results. Which in ur case, u probably would pan the original signal left and delay right. And yeah u can do that in live obviously coz its realtime.

williamyeow, i think most 'above $500" guitar multi-efx board will be able to do what you want.

1. basically your guitar signal goes into the multi-efx,
2. you select a Stereo Delay patch,
3. set the amount of delay you want on the Left and Right channel.
4. You then connect the Left and Right output to a mixer,
5. say channel 1 for Left and channel 2 for Right.
6. Pan channel hard left and pan channel hard right.

ha..ha.. in studio, there will be 100 different ways to do it.

and some mixers have efx on them as well...and they should have the delay efx...

hmmm.. i think you can also try running a delay effect through an auxliary output.

dry guitar signal pan left.
efx pan right.

that's it. you will definitely need a mixer, or at least software for this.

or you could use two amps and a delay pedal.
line out from amp 1 --> delay pedal --> amp 2. you will get delay in amp 2 only.
