fa FractionalDelay is the ultimate Sample Delay / Phase Alignment VST-Plugin with an incredibly intuitive GUI.

Features

• Phase Alignment: manually correct time delays between microphones
• Signal delaying with a precision of 0.000001 Samples (Maximum of 100,000 Samples)
• Phase alignment of varying microphone distances via DAW automation
• Oversampling with 2x-8x
• A/B comparisons
• Enter delay values in samples, ms, meter & foot
• Editable Min-Max-Values of the Delayknob
• Unique intuitive user interface

With some DAW routing and multiple instances of fa FractionalDelay, you can also apply stereo effects like moving haas delays, create colorful filter textures like a moving comb filter (similar to a really slow phaser effect) or do manual artifical double tracking with varying delays. And if that’s not enough you can use it if you do some parallel compression with analog outboard gear and you have to deal with fractional delays because of different sample rates.

The plugin user interface is specially designed to quickly find and compare the right delay value. Therefore, you’re able to determine the applied delay in samples, milliseconds, meter and foot. For quick setting comparisons use the A/B Switch and if you want to have fine adjustments the Min-Max-Editfields let you change the control range of the delay knob.

fa FractionalDelay – Important Notes

Remember: This is NOT a regular delay effect with several duplicates of an original signal. It’s a phase alignment tool which also needs to be applied on different tracks with an existing phase relation. If you apply it to a mixdown or on tracks without phase relation you will hear NO AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE. For more detailed information check out our tutorial videos.
