How to Add Delay to One PART of a Vocal

[@BladesMusic]

I have enjoyed using both of these methods. The flexibility or just plain "choice to do what I want" in Studio One is one of the very appealing aspects of it. I struggled with automation prior to Studio One because it always felt like I needed some special club handshake to get it to work intuitively; conversely when I cam over to S1, I found it extremely easy to do some of the same things I battled before. The "clip" (event) effects are not new to me from my old DAW, Cakewalk, but also nice that they are so easily accessible - and a handy tip (as if Joe didn't already know this) is that you can ALT drag an effect onto an audio event and it will add that effect to the event and turn on Event FX for it at the same time, even without the inspector open. Gotta love that Studio One Drag and Drop. Thanks for the video, Joe.

You did it again my Presonus monster. I've been wanting to do this for years (tip 1 way). I see this video is 3 years old. You are the gift that keeps on giving!

[@WillSpires]

I watched this video and then used this technique in my current song I'm working on. Fantastic advice, Thank you Joe Gilder!!

[@aboemusic]

Also, a super quick way to add automation lanes to a track is just to click the parameter you want to add automation for and then simply press Alt+A immediately afterwards and it will add the lane for you, saving you having to click n drag from the hand icon. This means you can 'click, then Alt+A' for several parameters, one after another, and they'll all get added to the automation lane. You'll know you've done it correctly because the little 'automation dot' will appear immediately on the most recent parameter you've chosen (these dots, though, won't appear on things like the on/off button, so just check the lane to make sure they got added). Works a charm :)

I would just cut the section I wanted and drop it into a track with a delay on the track. This is a different way to do it and I'mma try it. Thanks Joe. As always, great info.

[@twinsprucestudios]

FANTASTIC..!! These 2 tips are worth there weight in gold. Loving Studio One's workflow..!!! Keep it coming!!

[@SamuelCurtis]

Worth noting that you don't have to open the inspector and enable event effects to apply/use them. You can just option/alt drag your effect onto your event and you're done. Way faster than using automation and, if you want to reuse it later in the song, just option/alt drag your order onto each instance.

Does this possibly work on protools ... same concept msybe ?

[@charlesdufrene6244]

Awesome, exactly what I'm trying to accomplish on a project currently in work. Thx Joe!!!

[@screw3yemakesmusic]

I love this DAW and the only reason I got it was because of Mr Gilder here, I'm wrapping my diploma for music production and have been using the big three DAW's Pro Tools, Logic, and Ableton but at home I use studio one. And I even did a scoring assignment yesterday in it. The video function in studio one works perfectly no glitching, lag, or weird interface for it. Studio one is by far the best DAW in the industry in my opinion

[@RickDonmoyer]

I have used Bypass in some of my production to create similar effect. Furthermore like Valhalla Delay, I use the mix knob set to specific value at specific time in the vocals.

Finally, the KZbin algorithm put this video on my feed.

[@HaveMurxy]

Can I also apply this method on a group bus of vocal takes where I just want one specific word delayed on all the takes

[@maximilianojuarez1]

Cool tip. Time saver!

[@yakubbenisrael4392]

Are you using the transform tool for this selection?

[@carelvangreunen3915]

[@rickyguitarman3839]

could you do a video about Timestretch pls?

[@Skygge.]

I didn't watch this movie YET. I would do this by: a) automation switching on/off plugin on this fragment, b) cut event and add an Event FX, or c) (noob method) cut event, place this fragment on different track with this effect. d) send to delay bus with automation. Now I press play and see how you did it :)

[@chronixbeats9625]

Bless 👍🏻

[@salintium]

Those are easier than the way I do it. I go to the mixer at the bottom where it says auto off, I click select writable. I put the marker a little before and play it back (not record) turn it on at part where I want it and off when I'm done. I did this with the chorus and lead of Rush's (In the mood). SOO COOL. I spent a long time trying to find the right DAW, and was dead set on Ableton, until Cassie O'Hanlon recommended Studio One 4. It wasn't just her either. A couple others recommended it to at Sweetwater. Very glad I went with it. now when I watch videos of recording and mixing that use other DAWs the question is " why don't you do it this way". Why because its not Studio One.

[@odmusicman]

Great Joe. You can also just dupe the track, trim the audio on the dupe track down to the necessary parts and add the needed delay to THAT track. However, your method is less resource hungry.

[@GivingGodTheGloryG3]

Whats the purpose of using the send insert first vs just using the delay and muting it that way?

[@franciscliffordworld]

How did you recolored the track?

[@LeonardoLima-nk4fv]

Cool, im used to automate the send level, gives more control, i guess, thanks!

[@Russplight]

Where's Gregor? Joe's vidoes are getting much better. Nice one.

[@dalemahoney9776]

How do I add the sound of a car crash to a certain part of my Verse and hook

[@dmsorensen]

Is there a chance that Studio One will be adding a Dim Solo option in a future release? I think that would be super useful.

[@nwobserver8008]

Dave, you know if you route all of your buses to a PreMain bus (which itself is routed to Main), and then assign whatever track or bus you want a dim solo on to Main instead of PreMain you can use the PreMain volume slider to provide a dimmed volume. It’s very easy.

[@JeighNeither]

Hey Joe, so why couldn't you use the event effects in multiple places on the track? Did you mean it's just easier that creating multiple events?

[@louiewgroenewald]

Is 1/4 note delays mainly for delay throws or is their other uses for this? I notice there isn't a lot of videos on KZbin using 1/4 note delays for any other reason.

[@tonylee1794]

Question, to create the nodes on the automation line I find that I have to manually add them, what are the functions you are using to highlight the region and auto populate the nodes then pull down the automation line? I've never seen that done before. Thanks

[@RiffMusic1970]

I’m pretty sure you just put the cursor in the top half of the track, left click and drag over the section you want. Then go back over the section until the cursor becomes a horizontal I beam and click and drag. The points will be put where the part is highlighted.

[@damoncovert352]

Most likely something I'm doing wrong and/or my basic, outdated Artist version of Studio One doesn't have the same options and menus, but I can't seem to make either of these work. Ugh.

[@geoffmichelle1161]

“Snort- not just a hat rack” 🤣😂🤣😂 I miss your humour Joe 😘

[@beatweezl]

That's weird. Unless I did something wrong, I tried adding a long tail delay to an event but the tail stopped at the end of the event so I had to draw in a blank event and attach it the event with the delay on it and then bounce it all together. What a hassle. Maybe the delay was on the track I can't remember what I did I just know the tail stopped at the end of the event and I had to fix it.

[@now_im_here3698]

Does this work for midi instruments too? Or do we have to export the stems first?

[@EHall-zj9zy]

Hey Joe. Nice video. How do you automate delay to an entire track? Like if I want a song to stutter, how can I add automation to the master fader?

[@petersilver4294]

Very cool Joe, as usual. What if I want the tail to fade, like at the end of a song? I end with a sharp hit but the tail keeps going and makes the song longer than I want. Thanks

[@RiffMusic1970]

One way would be to use the send as in his first example but automate the efx channel’s volume instead of the vocal channel’s on/off.

[@treshodgens3248]

Will this work with earlier versions of Studio One? I'm currently using Studio One 3 Professional.

[@didgeman]

I can see I have to go study up on automation before I can use your first method. I tried to follow along and do it myself but when you got to the part of "click on A" to see the track automation, my situation did not match yours. Mine kept going to another track entirely. My automation labels were different; yadayada. I got lost. I love you guys but you go to fast and skip too many things for a beginner. Makes it really hard for this 65 year old brain to follow. A couple things that would help my older eyes is a bigger ARROW so I can find where you're at on the screen. And the other is to somehow, get rid of the video title that is always overtop the menus. ;-)

[@loranpopol1900]

This trick, is Just for studio one 5 i suppose ?

[@senormcdoofus2231]

Still annoying that there is no native delay with separate delays for L and R channels (like Ableton)

[@tomowen9412]

this doesnt work for me it just says high pass after ive pressed off on the delay

[@hdj808]

Tried to drag and drop shits not working it’s creating an entire other track

You have to hold down Option on a Mac / Alt on Windows while dragging the effect onto a selected event. -GBY

AudioBox 96 my sound drive, and StudioOne 5 software also. why this problems coming..? please give me the solution.

[@andrish]

Thanks Joe, a THIRD option would be to just have the Analog Delay directly in the Insert section of the vocal track. No separate effects channel for Delay. Would you ever considering doing it that way? As you guessed that is how I do as self-taught Studio One dude :)

[@LordoftheStrings109]

I used to try and do it this way but it doesn't work very well because when you automate the bypass on an insert it mutes the effect entirely so you lose the tale if another vox line starts. If you wanted to do it this way you would need to chop the word/part and put it on it's own track.

[@JeighNeither]

You should really try using busses/sends for you effects. You get a much cleaner signal, & you have a lot more control over every aspect. Just because we're self-taught, doesn't mean we can't keep learning ;)

[@waynewescott8018]
