Nate Raubenheimer aka Protoculture and Shadow Chronicles is back with us this week to take an in-depth look at how we can use Delays.
There’s a multitude of different delay VST’s available out there, not to mention the fact that they ship as stock plugins with every DAW - but what is actually going on under the hood?
Over these nine videos Nate explains the fundamentals, the different types of delays available and then gives us some practical examples on how we can utilise this space creating effect in our tracks.
Packed full of pro knowledge, tips and tricks - don’t miss this one!
What an incredible waste of time and money. He starts out with the promising analogy of recording sound back into a buffer. Great! “Okay, now let’s do this with an actual delay plugin. Set the feedback to 50% and the mix to 50% . . .” Wait! What exactly is “feedback?” What exactly does the mix knob do in this situation?
And so it goes. When it comes to explaining how a tape delay works, the man is literally waving his hands around. He thinks a bucket-brigade delay might use capacitors, but he’s not sure. It’s like buckets! Here’s a modulation section. Hear it modulating? Oh, there’s wow and flutter. What’s the difference, oh master? He doesn’t say. I’m not sure he knows.
I was really hoping for deep dive, but there is no possible way that he gave more than five minutes thought to anything he’s saying. Just kind of an off-the-cuff thing that ends up being actively less useful than anything available on YouTube. Can’t remember the last time I spent $30 on a tutorial and bailed on the fourth video.
It is disgraceful to be selling this for actual money.

"As mentioned on the course page, this is a “Beginner / Intermediate’’ course level.”
What is mentioned in the course page is “an in-depth look at how we can use Delays” and an exploration of “what is actually going on under the hood.” It is neither of those things.
It’s also mentioned in the course details : “Over these nine videos Nate explains the fundamentals the different
types of delays available and then gives us some practical examples.”
But again, thank you for your feedback, S.A Team and tutors are reading the forums as well, so they’ll take note of this.
