Best Delay Plugin?

[Googly Smythe]

Satin. No other delay needed.
But I also use Ubermod, that Valhalla freebie, Sandman, Fault and Cubase's (studio) chorus and flanger. And Kuassa's new flanger, etc, etc.

Sandman Pro IS impressive. And it can do all sorts of amazing things you'll never be able to do with H-Delay. I have too many delay plugins, but if there was just one among them I would super strongly recommend, I think it would indeed be Sandman Pro.

Its a delay on steroids (and acid).

V-Plugs: Echo Trip

Just picked up Blue Cat's Late Replies multi-tap delay. Been having fun with it, and it's rather versatile. But with the versatility comes some complexity. The absolute best feature is that it can host third party plugins in the taps!

Unfiltered Audio's Sandman Pro, which is great! And was also already mentioned.

Then, the ones that weren't (mentioned, that is. But also great!) :

D16 Sigmund. Aahhh!

Unfiltered Audio have everyone beat on delay

[VELLTONE MUSIC]

My favorite is TDAe FD Stereo

H-delay is another good one.

That one that Elton John uses. Can't remember the name. It's by Boz Digital Labs.

No, it's not. Elton John doesn't necessarily even know what plugin to use, that's why he asks his producer to choose one. And no, the producer doesn't choose a Boz plugin either but allegedly a Waves one. Supposedly because that's what he/she trusts getting the job done.

But your suggestion of Boz Imperial Delay is a good one, it's a great delay.

I meant Elton Jong-Un. Sorry for any confusion.

[subterfuge]

It's ok, anybody can get confused occasionally. I just think that mistaken joke has had its day. There could've been more accurate and funny ones to be made back in the day, this one was just besides the point.

Although not the most advanced delays within my plugin collection, these are the delay plugins that I presently use most often:

* D16 Group Tekturon
* Fabfilter Timeless 2
* Metric Halo Dirty Delay
* PSP Audioware Echo
* Soundtoys EchoBoy / EchoBoy Jr.

Overall, my delay needs are fairly basic. I usually load up the Metric Halo Dirty Delay or Soundtoys EchoBoy Jr. as first options, which usually work well for the tasks at hand.

When it is released for the Windows OS platform, McDSP's EC-300 Echo Collection will definitely become my go-to delay plugin. Unfortunately, I have only used it a few times at a friend's studio, but I think it is amazing.

A good free one is spaceship delay by Musical Entropy, you can find it here on KVR.
