There are a selection of instant go to delays available in the market today but if you choose to be a little more creative there is the iZotope Dynamic Delay plugin better known as the DDLY.

Having two split lines of delay allows you to send different signals thru these lines, one can be louder than the other providing a clearer sound.

Record Better Guitar And Bass Tracks Even At Home
We know sometimes how limited a home studio can be depending on your budget and how it can affect your recording. In this video Graham, of the Recording Revolution, delivers 3 steps to improve your guitar and bass track recording – yes from your home studio.
First Graham shows how the price of your equipment does not necessarily determine the quality of your sound, as he reveals his current choices of guitars not belonging to the “A” list. Of course with a reasonable price Graham discusses that its more about strategy than simply buying the most expensive equipment money can buy.
We totally agree with Graham on this. In fact, it’s pretty much the core belief here at Home Brew Audio. Our motto is “knowledge trumps gear.”
