Product Detail
MH Dirty Delay is an amazing feedback delay processor. It has integrated Character and Filters in the delay path, which lets you craft awesome vintage echo and tape - delay sounds. You can also create lush, subtle spaces in your mix. This isn't just an ordinary musical feedback delay; it's special. With Filters and Character in the feedback path, you can customize the sound to be clean or dirty, vintage or futuristic, subtle or intense. The dual delay lines, crossfeed, feedback, and distortion control allow you to generate incredibly rich and complex audio textures and patterns. It adds texture and movement without dimming the sound, a common issue with feedback delays. It works great for both production and performance. Key features include world - class signal processing, mono and stereo delay lines up to 5 seconds, delay times set manually or by tempo, synced or manually set tempo, feedback and crossfeed with phase invert, time - offset output, independent wet/dry mix and gain, a 2 - band parametric filter, MH Character for texturizing, many presets, adjustable UI, and a cross - platform preset manager. In version 4, it adds VST3 support on macOS and Windows, native Apple Silicon support for VST hosts, undo/redo, A/B snapshots, software update tracking, more flexible resizing, common header controls, support for multiple plugin formats, improved preset management, copy/paste settings, a detailed plugin pane, reduced macOS installer size, user - configurable themes, selectable knob styles, and preferences for band colors, UI colors, and showing/hiding knob rings. It also refines the UI layout and visuals.
Using Metric Halo Dirty Delay v4 is quite straightforward. First, set up your delay lines. You can choose between mono and stereo, and each can have a delay of up to 5 seconds. You can set the delay times manually in milliseconds or based on note values according to the tempo. Sync the tempo to your host, set it manually, or tap it in. Adjust the feedback and crossfeed with phase invert for each delay line to get the sound you want. You can also offset the output of each delay line in time. Control the wet/dry mix and gain independently for each line. Use the 2 - band fully - parametric filter to shape the delayed sound and the MH Character in the delay path to add texture and saturation. There are many presets available, so you can start with those and then customize. When it comes to the new features in v4, take advantage of the VST3 support on both macOS and Windows. Use the undo/redo function if you make a mistake. The A/B snapshots and snapshot blend let you compare different settings easily. Keep an eye on the software update tracking to stay up - to - date. You can customize the UI with different themes, knob styles, and color preferences. For maintenance, make sure your system meets the requirements for running the plugin. Regularly check for software updates to get the latest improvements and bug fixes. And always back up your presets in case something goes wrong.
