Sample Delay in Logic Pro for iPad
Sample Delay is more a utility than an effect—you can use it to delay a channel by sample or millisecond values.
When used in conjunction with the phase inversion capabilities of the Gain effect, Sample Delay is useful for correcting timing problems that may occur with multichannel microphones. It can also be used creatively to emulate stereo microphone channel separation.
Every sample at a frequency of 44.1 kHz is equivalent to the time taken for a sound wave to travel 7.76 millimeters. If you delay one channel of a stereo microphone by 13 samples, this emulates an acoustic (microphone) separation of 10 centimeters.
To add Sample Delay to your project, choose Delay > Sample Delay in the Plug-ins area or a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu. See Intro to plug-ins. Also see Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins in the Plug-ins area and Work with plug-ins in the Mixer.
Sample Delay parameters
Left/Right Delay knobs and fields: Set the number of samples or milliseconds the incoming signal is delayed by.
Link Left & Right button: Turn on to make corresponding parameter adjustments for both channels. Adjusting one channel value adjusts the other. Relative values are maintained.
Note: Link mode can be automatically disabled when you choose a new routing or setting. Re-enable, if required.
Unit buttons: Choose Samples or ms to change the appearance and behavior of Delay knob and field values.
