I often set up a bus with a ping pong delay, I soften it a bunch with eq, and the strip the center out with the waves center plugin. Sometimes Ill widen the imagine with ozone. I then send certain tracks to it when creating more spacey and ambient tracks. But I am huge sucker for delays and ambient treatments in general.

Using Melda MComb as delay and varying the time is a lot of fun, great for fx sounds, and of course a side chained compressor after the delay can avoid clashing sounds, high pass the delay

Skip to 00:58 to start the list. 1.) Know when to use EQ in the delay. No need for double "Ts", or other pings. Perhaps add a desser to the chain. 2.) Know when to not use delay, and reverb instead. Try reverb after delay instead on additional delays. 3.) Know when delay should be in-time, or out of time. 4.) Panning delay: not every track needs to be in stereo. 5.) Use automation. 6.) Use side chaining.

My favourite delay fail is cheap "stereo" delay pedals that feed the echo to one side and an invertion to the other. The guitarist gets very embarrassed when doing a mono check in the studio and they get instantly transformed from The Edge to the lesser half of the duelling banjos! Actually, it's not just cheap pedals, the Korg REMS effects from years ago had that fail.

I have a LOT of trouble with what you said about feeling like I need to balance things out in the left and right to be symmetrical. Can you do a video about how to deal with that? I have a hard time really deciding when I do and don't need to make things perfectly symmetrical. Which is weird, because I personally love hearing the little details in a mix such as the things that are say: just in the background almost fully panned on one side etc. I love those creative details, but I find it very difficult to "allow" myself to do those kinds of things without feeling like I need to balance it out on the other side.

I have one question about the recording phase, when we track instruments on different days and have time in between to do any changes to the session. What is your take on the "rough mix" of, let's say, drums and bass before you track guitars? Are you doing only editing or are you applying any other techniques like compression or EQ to help you decide what kind of guitar or other instrument sound will you need in the final version of the song? Thank you again for all the tips and tricks, you're awesome! Maj

Like you said: it gets boring mixing only 1 verse/chorus and listen to the song. Despite instruments coming in and out, automation of delays can make it more interesting! I'm still in the recording phase, but it's good to think about these things. I assume this is production stuff or would you consider it mixing? Btw: I loooooove distorting delays, sidechained delays and delays that are not in time!!!
