Simple Delay bug at Slow Tempos!

Post by syncope » Mon Oct 08, 2007 4:25 pm

Perhaps this isn't a bug and I just need to change my prefs or something...

I'm trying to sing a harmony 4 beats before the actual line was sung and use the delay effect to repeat the harmony over top of me singing another harmony (I'm the only non-tone-deaf person in my band and I want to incorporate harmonies on stage without sampling).

The simple delay works fine at a tempo of 60 bpm, but if you go any lower, the echo does not land on the beat specified.

Please respond if you know how to fix this OR if you have another way for me to use live to do harmonies on stage. I know live wasn't meant to be a looping station, but there's got to be someway to automate this!

why not? Doubling the amount of delays gives you double the delay time...

After dragging two simple delay devices into the audio track which I want to be delayed, the second delay does not affect the outcome of the audio signal. Is there something else I should be doing?
