The Delay plugin for Audacity is a powerful tool for manipulating audio. It allows users to add a range of delay effects to their audio, including regular delays, bouncing ball delays and reverse bouncing ball delays. It can also be used to change the pitch of the audio, either with a pitch/tempo effect or with a low-quality pitch shift effect. The plugin also allows users to adjust the delay time, delay level per echo, pitch change per echo, and number of echoes. Finally, users can choose whether or not to allow the duration of the audio to change.
The Delay plug-in allows you to add an echo effect to your audio. You can customize the delay type, delay level, delay time, pitch change effect, pitch change per echo, number of echoes, and whether or not to allow the duration to change. The delay type can be Regular, Bouncing Ball, or Reverse Bouncing Ball. The Regular type adds an echo with the same delay time for each echo. The Bouncing Ball type adds an echo that decreases in delay time with each echo. The Reverse Bouncing Ball type adds an echo that increases in delay time with each echo. The pitch change effect can be Pitch/Tempo or Low-quality Pitch Shift. The Pitch/Tempo effect changes both the pitch and tempo of the delayed audio. The Low-quality Pitch Shift effect changes the pitch without changing the tempo, but it may cause a short echo effect that can be noticeable on percussive sounds.
Example 1: Creating a Bouncing Ball Delay Effect To create a bouncing ball delay effect, open Audacity and select the track you want to apply the effect to. Then, select the "Delay" effect from the Effects menu. In the Delay effect window, choose "Bouncing Ball" from the "Delay type" drop-down menu. This will create a bouncing ball delay effect. Next, you can adjust the delay level per echo (dB) and delay time (seconds) to your liking. The delay level per echo determines the volume of each echo, and the delay time determines the amount of time between each echo. You can also adjust the pitch change effect and pitch change per echo (semitones). The pitch change effect determines the type of pitch change that will be applied to the delayed audio, and the pitch change per echo determines the amount of pitch change for each echo. Finally, you can adjust the number of echoes and whether or not you want the duration of the audio to change. The number of echoes determines how many echoes will be heard, and the "Allow duration to change" setting determines whether or not the duration of the audio will change when the effect is applied. Once you have adjusted the settings to your liking, click "OK" to apply the effect. Your track should now have a bouncing ball delay effect applied.
To add a Pitch Shift to an Echo in Audacity, you need to use the Delay effect. To do this, open your project in Audacity and select the portion of the track you want to apply the effect to. Then, go to Effects > Delay. In the Delay window, you can adjust the Delay type, Delay level per echo, Delay time, Pitch change effect, Pitch change per echo, Number of echoes, and Allow duration to change settings. The Delay type determines the pattern of the echo. You can choose between Regular, Bouncing Ball, and Reverse Bouncing Ball. The Delay level per echo setting allows you to adjust the volume of the echo. The Delay time setting determines the amount of time between each echo. The Pitch change effect setting determines whether the pitch and tempo of the delayed audio will change (as in Audacity's Change Speed effect) or just the pitch without changing the tempo. The Pitch change per echo setting allows you to adjust the amount of pitch shift per echo. The Number of echoes setting determines the number of echoes that will be applied to the audio. The Allow duration to change setting determines whether the duration of the audio will change when the effect is applied. Once you have adjusted all of the settings to your liking, click OK to apply the effect.
Adding a Low-Quality Pitch Shift to an Audio Track To add a low-quality pitch shift effect to an audio track using the Nyquist programming language, follow these steps: 1. Open the audio track you would like to apply the effect to in Audacity. 2. Select the Nyquist Delay effect from the Effect menu. 3. In the Delay effect window, select "Low-quality Pitch Shift" from the Pitch change effect drop-down menu. 4. Enter the desired pitch change per echo in semitones in the Pitch change per echo field. 5. Enter the desired number of echoes in the Number of echoes field. 6. Select whether or not you would like to allow the duration of the audio track to change in the Allow duration to change drop-down menu. 7. Click OK to apply the effect. This will apply the low-quality pitch shift effect to the selected audio track. The effect will create echoes of the audio track, each with a different pitch. Note that the sound quality of the effect may not be very good, and it may cause a short echo effect which can be quite noticeable on percussive sounds, though may be acceptable on other sounds.
Example 4 - Creating Multiple Echoes with a Constant Delay Time This example creates multiple echoes with a constant delay time. It is useful for creating special effects such as reverb. To use this example, open the Delay plugin in Audacity. Set the Delay Type to "Regular". Set the Delay Level per Echo to the desired level in dB. Set the Delay Time to the desired time in seconds. Set the Pitch Change Effect to "Pitch/Tempo". Set the Pitch Change per Echo to 0 semitones. Set the Number of Echoes to the desired number of echoes. Set the Allow Duration to Change to "Yes". When finished, click the OK button. The result should be a track with multiple echoes at the specified delay time.
Adding a Delay Effect with a Changeable Duration is a useful tool for creating an audio effect in Audacity. This effect will add an echo-like sound to your audio track. To add this effect, open your audio track in Audacity and select the portion of the track you would like to add the effect to. Then, select the Effect menu and choose Delay. In the Delay window, you will see several adjustable parameters. The Delay Type parameter lets you choose between Regular, Bouncing Ball, and Reverse Bouncing Ball delay types. The Delay Level per Echo (dB) parameter controls the level of the echo relative to the original sound. The Delay Time (seconds) parameter controls the amount of time between each echo. The Pitch Change Effect parameter lets you choose between Pitch/Tempo and Low-quality Pitch Shift. The Pitch Change per Echo (semitones) parameter controls the amount of pitch change between each echo. The Number of Echoes parameter controls how many echoes will be heard. Finally, the Allow Duration to Change parameter lets you choose whether or not the duration of the sound will change when the effect is applied. Once you have adjusted the parameters to your liking, click OK to apply the effect. You will now hear the delay effect on your audio track.
