Chris and Jody dive into one of the most versatile tools in a mix engineer’s arsenal: delay. Whether you’re looking to add depth, space, or a touch of magic to your vocal tracks, this episode is packed with tips and tricks to help you get there.

Here’s what’s on the table:

• The art of using unsynced delays to create unique vocal effects and make vocals sit just right in the mix.
• A breakdown of different delay types and how to use them to add cool textures and a sense of space.
• Real-world examples of delay in action, helping you think outside the grid and explore creative possibilities.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Inside the Recording Studio episode without some laughs, a dash of nonsense, and a surprise in this week’s Friday Finds—trust us, it’s a doozy you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, this episode offers practical insights and creative inspiration to take your vocal mixes to the next level. Hit play and get ready to delay like a pro!
