Mod Delay III don't follow beat

[Kdose]

Hi Guys,

Im using Mod Delay III. Im trying to do a regular echo type of effect on a snare. The song is 90bpm. The problem is, the Mod Delay III will delay the snare (or any other of my waves) and play it like 3 to 5 seconds after the transport bar/line reads the wave in question, which obviously make the snare off beat.

I don't know what to click or modify so my echo effect could work as well as keeping my snare on beat.

Thanks in advance for your help!

ok, going to need more info then .. have no idea what you are exactly doing ..

like i did take a picture of your mod delay and post it and Maybe we can terll something more like that ..

sorry for the silly question and don't take this the wrong way, but are you new to pro tools or using software delays ?? .. as this one is about as simple as they come ..

Hi friend !

Well thinking loud here... maybe you have the delay direct on the track insert with the delay mix parameter to %100 . If that is the case your goona hear the singal delayed only because there is no dry signal first . Supposing this is the case , you might want better to use the delay with an aux track and feed with an insert or simply lowering the delay mix parameter to a lower % .

No sweats! Im not new to pro tools but im definitely new to pro tools 12 and Mod Delay III. I had PT9 or 10 before and was using delay all the time. I however don't recall if the plugin was Mod Delay III or not.

Hey Jeam! Thanks for the feedback (no pun intended lol). I indeed used the plugin directly on the track. Ive check some videos on youtube and most people are saying to do it the way you told me to. I guess ill have to go and learn the basics of delays now haha.

Thanks anyways! Peace!
