Delay sulla voce

Learn how to use vocal delay to add depth, fullness, and rhythmic support without cluttering your mix. In this PureMix tutorial, Fab Dupont works with a vocal from The Arrows’ “Prisoner,” demonstrating how short delays and tempo-synced echoes help the singer sit naturally within the track.

Explore a Haas-effect approach for creating subtle distance, then hear how eighth-note and sixteenth-note delays provide complementary layers of support. Using Soundtoys EchoBoy, Fab demonstrates how high-pass and low-pass filtering shape the repeats so they stay behind the lead vocal.

Compare the effects individually and together, both in solo and in the full arrangement. Discover how to balance delay levels for dense or sparse productions, creating anything from a discreet vocal cushion to a more audible, characterful effect.
