I some times use a very short delay on midrange bases to give them a metalic feel. Now you go!

You stole mine. Use a delay with 3.00 speed on hi hats after sticking an lfo on the pan of the hi hats and you have a cool sounding hihat pattern! Shown to me by makemerich

I use them on hi hats. and give a hint of it on the snare. the funtcase masterclass goes over delay on drums pretty well

Delay is the best reverb.

Put a delay and some sort of pitch plug-in on a send, then mess with the pitch of the delay.

I really like doing filter delays. Ableton has some cracking ones - as well as grain delays. Grain delays can be a bit unpredictable, which makes it awesome for pads and sweeping sounds. With filter delays, you can basically set the range of frequencies you want to delay. Automating this gives some really nice morphing delays..

some really cool ideas in here that i hadn't tried before. logic has a tape delay that can be fun to experiment with. if you automate between different note values of the delay, each time it switches value it creates all sorts of cool noises that sound like tape artifacts. then those artifacts get sent through the delay and you can mess with them further.

Try using a straight delay on a triplet melody- or a triplet delay on a straight melody. This method tends to either sound great or horrible, depending on the song.

Also, if you haven't heard of it - get the Timeless plugin from Fabfilter. Absolutely. The. Best. Delay. Plugin. Ever.

I put a delay on snares sometimes with no more than 3 ms sometimes to change the transient of the snare to create interesting sounds.
Add chorus and flangers to open high hats for some simple and subtle sounds.

i never use a delay exactly synced to tempo. i usually pull it off the tempo by 20 ms. that way (especially with samples) if a hit lands on the delay it will unlikely phaze

Load a hat sample into FL Sampler
Reverse sample
Apply short delay, long reverb and long delay onto the effect chain
Set Edison to record on input
Randomly hit notes up and down the octaves to give an alternate of short sharp sounds and long growling sounds
Bounce out
Import audio back into project and stretch to 64/128 bars
Instant atmospherics

arcdev et-301 . Awesome and free, also if you click on the arcdev logo it flips round to the back so you can adjust hidden parameters.

I like to pretend to be king tubby, and automate the shit out of the space echo clone in guitar rig.

Shit, thats all my delay secrets out in the open

delay 2 on growley sounds to make them sexy.
tiny delay2 on rimshots and and short white noise samples

I like to have about 4 delays on 4 sends with different timing/filters ect... and then run those delays into each other and automate them to fuck and then maybe run delays into them selfs to get feedback/drones on the go.

bounce a clean copy of the part you want to use delay on so you can have a clean bit and precise control of when delay kicks in
then resample and chop it up using raw clean and delayed parts so you have precise control of delayed parts
and you can further process it from there

I like to create a nice long delay on whatever, bounce that all down, reverse it, and have that reverse delay lead up to the sound. I also do that with reverb
