You don't necessarily need trashy delay to get a good
trashy sound, but trashy delay sounds very good.
To this end Trash provides a delay module -- with tape, tape/tube, analog, digital and lo-fi digital delays.
The upper portion of the module sets the delay parameters, while the lower portion provides an EQ for specifically shaping the response of the delayed portion of the signal. This filter module only affects the delayed portion not the dry signal.
Buzz Type:
You can select the type of delay with the controls in the upper left corner:
Tape: A straight tape delay effect with saturation and wow/flutter
Tape/Tube: A tape delay effect with additional tube saturation properties
Analog: A lo-fi analog delay effect with smearing and analog degradation
Lo-Fi Digital: A lo-fi digital delay effect, similar to the first digital delay stomp boxes
Broken Bit: A digital delay effect with infinite feedback on the lowest bit, similar to a faulty "stuck bit" delay
Digital: For completeness, a pure, clean digital
delay
Controls:
Dry Out: Sets the
output gain of the dry/undelayed signal
Wet Out: Sets the output gain of the wet/delayed signal
Spread: For stereo tracks. Sets the stereo spread of the signal, from mono (0) to extra wide (2)
Delay: Sets the delay time in milliseconds by default. In the Trash options screen, you can have the time displayed in tempo (beats per minute) instead. You can also set the delay time by tapping the "Tap Tempo" button.
Feedback: Sets the gain of the delay feedback. Higher values will result in longer audible feedback times, i.e. more repeats.
Trash: Sets the amount of degradation for the delay. For example, higher Trash values for tape delays results in more saturation. Higher Trash values for lo-fi digital delays results in more bit truncation and aliasing.
Note: This help file is a quick reference for basic Trash functions and controls. We have separate "how to" guides that provide tips and techniques for getting the most out of Trash. You can download these guides from http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/trash/guides.html
