Marc Daniel Nelson demonstrates a creative delay technique for electric guitar using the iZotope Vinyl plugin followed by H-Delay. By hard-panning the guitar and its delay, Nelson creates a unique stereo effect that provides a lush, ambient texture.
He explains how feedback automation is used to add dynamic, organic qualities to the sound. Hard-panning the guitar and its delay to opposite sites allows the guitar to stand out and contribute to the song's atmosphere without cluttering its center.
Nelson emphasizes the value of intentionally using noise and distortion artifacts to enhance the guitar's character, turning what might be considered undesirable elements into a distinctive, musical texture. This is especially useful for adding depth and interest to simpler guitar parts.
