🎧 Tips & Tricks:
How to use delay to make your sound more interesting: Rhythmic Ghost Notes
Instead of using delay just for space and depth, try using it to create subtle rhythmic ghost notes that add groove to your track.
Set a Delay with No Feedback – Choose a tempo-synced delay (e.g., 1/8 or 1/16 notes) and set the feedback to zero so it only repeats once.
Use a High-Pass Filter – Roll off the low end in the delay’s EQ to keep the repeats from muddying up the mix.
Automate the Wet/Dry – Instead of having the delay constantly active, automate it to subtly echo certain notes in your drum groove or lead line.
Sidechain the Delay – Use a compressor triggered by the dry signal to push the delayed notes slightly into the background, making them feel like natural echoes rather than clutter.
This technique works beautifully on percussion, vocals, or lead synths, adding groove without overcrowding the mix.
Unleashing Inspiration
A Walk in the Park: A Creative Recharge
Next time you feel stuck in a creative rut, take a walk in the park—not just for fresh air, but as a deliberate exercise in inspiration.
Engage Your Senses – Notice the details: the rustling leaves, distant chatter, shifting light. Let these sensory experiences spark new ideas or textures in your work.
Walk with a Question – Before setting off, frame a creative challenge in your mind. Don’t force an answer—let your thoughts meander as freely as your footsteps.
Collect Mental Snapshots – Observe patterns in nature, unexpected colour combinations, or snippets of conversation. Jot them down or record voice notes for later inspiration.
Change Your Route – If you always take the same path, switch it up. New surroundings can shift perspective and unlock fresh ideas.
Embrace the Rhythm – The steady motion of walking can help process thoughts subconsciously, leading to unexpected moments of clarity.
By the time you return, you may find that your mind has untangled problems, discovered new angles, or simply reset—ready to create with renewed energy.
