Today we're going to talk about David Gilmor's delay sounds.
I get a lot of questions about how to set up different delays for the different eras.
And obviously David's using a lot of different textures and layers and stuff like that, but
we're going to break it down into four different time signatures, which is sort of the essentials.
So for the early era, 1968 to 78, we're going to try to replicate the old Binson, which had
the 310 milliseconds as the maximum time on the single head.
And for the wall, we're going to
have two different delays, 380 milliseconds for Run Like Hell and 440 milliseconds for Another
Brick in the Wall, which is sort of the time signature for most of the album.
At this point,
David's using an MXR digital delay for those pristine and [Eb] accurate time settings and repeats.
[N] Moving on to the 80s and 90s, he mostly used the rack units, the Lexicon, the TC stuff,
and also the MXR.
We're going to use Coming Back to Life as a reference.
The tap tempo for that
song is 700 milliseconds.
You can also use that for songs like On the Turning Away and Sorrow and
stuff like that.
You probably want to have six or seven repeats.
Anything more will often mess up
your single.
The volume depends on obviously what sort of song you're playing, what sort of part,
and also the headroom in your rig.
So you have to adjust that accordingly.
I'm going to start
each clip with a reference and then sort of implement that into each song.
[G] So without further
ado, here's the delay [C] sounds.
