Delay and Reverb Timing Tools
Calculate tempo-synced delay and reverb settings so effects support the groove instead of drifting around it.
Frequently asked questions
Why should I sync delay to the tempo?
Tempo-synced delay repeats land on musical subdivisions of the beat. This keeps the effect in the groove and avoids the cluttered sound of an unsynchronised delay.
What is the most common delay time used in mixing?
The dotted eighth note is widely used for rhythmic shimmer effects, especially on guitars and synths. Quarter note delays work well for vocal throws and slapback.
