Valhalla plugins aren't a joke. They do as they say on the tin - which is probably why there are so few of them. The developer really cares about getting it right.

I think this is the beginning of the end, I've been waiting for a long time to hear him say the plugin sounds like the actual thing, and it finally happened. If you can emulate Tape Delay, you can emulate anything, so plugins will replace hardware.
@@Yntec just give the software engineers time. It's only a matter of time before everything can be emulated, simulated to the point of indistiguishability . . . if there is such a word. 🤪
You didn't know Sean from Valhalla and his plugins until now? BIG mistake. He's one of the best, if not THE best DSP guy in the game ... he could charge 200 bucks for every single one of his plugins at it would still sell. But he's like: "Naah, 50 is fair." I love that guy.
"We live in a world where you can get full featured DAWs for $200, that come with an extensive effects suite. I feel that plugins should not cost more than your DAW. I’d also rather have tools that are available to a wider audience. If the tools are more affordable, more people can use them." Seriously I fucking love this guy.
For those people that want to make the pitch shifted delay work: Set the time value to notes: 1/4 and 1/2 work in most cases. Set the semitone/shift value at 5,7,12 those are the ones that work best for most purposes Set the detune/cents value at between -20 and +20 for a one-way modulation. Usually around 5-7 works best. Keep the feedback fairly low. Less than 50% is a good value This is a good starting point for beginners. Now go make some music!
@@RunawayHorses Shame SoundToys insist on imposing the burdensome iLok system. As a paying customer, I vow never to support such companies and so shop elsewhere for more customer-friendly alternatives, like Valhalla, FabFilter, U-He, Kilohearts, etc. Love how those devs value their customers and have vowed to never use iLok.
@@Music-tg5is whats wrong with ilok? it keeps all your activations in one place, and makes it easier if you get a new system. just deactivate and activate in the new one... idk what people hate about that.. its better
I love this plugin. Has a very special character and is versatile. I'd love to see more modulation options but luckily everything is modulatable via DAW :) it's a great sound design tool when wet is set to 100%. I have to add it is one of the very few plugins which gives you that king actually using hardware.
Haha, I love how stoked you are about this 😊 Valhalla are one of the few devs actually doing really interesting stuff and making some of the best plugins out there. I hope more people catch on to this! 🤓
LOL. I've seen a few of your videos, but this is the one I subbed on. You said it was boring because you didn't complain, but just watching you play with the plugin was actually fun.
Dude, finally another tech nerd who gets as excited as I do (in the same way) :) Love this channel, its helped my own music production enormously. Keep up the great work
I feel like Vallhalla understands the idea of a good first impressions when they choose their default presets! Have the Vintage verb and that chamber is really nice! (as does the rest of the plugin)
I bought this Delay just now, I had seen your UA-cam a while ago and was so amazed! Anyway I did go through your link here, I hope that you get a little something back... Wow is the only way to describe this phenomenon of a plug in and as you've pointed out, the presets sound so good you don't want to touch any parameter and leave it as it is. As you have pointed out, this is very rare in any plugin!
“Why does it sound so good already!” Love it 😂. I have the Valhalla VintageVerb which I’ve used for years but thought I had enough delays. I was wrong! Buying this today.
I have seen a lot of your videos. This is the first time I bought the plugin straight after watching the video. This is exactly what I have been looking for. A no nonsense delay plugin that sounds greats.
I just bought this because I needed a solid delay with a simple interface. Everything else was a bonus, and I am totally blown away!!! My reaction was much like yours (btw, not boring at all- I was laughing out loud watching your reactions here...) especially in response to the tape delay and the ridiculous flexibility. I also like companies like Valhalla- they don't market with gimmicks. Their plugins are always $50. You get a license that expires *never.* You get unlimited downloads. And the sounds are delicious! I'll be getting more when I can afford them. Worth every penny!
I just did a song "Solace & The Storm" that would have been virtually impossible without Valhalla - I've never gotten these sounds off of other companies delays.
It's great to see that you are active in the comment section, since you are checking why not share one of my bad experiences. I love this plugin on the sound design side of things but all options have noise floor that emits white noise without an option to turn it off. With my extensive sound design, I have processing that amplifies this white noise and it blinds my main sound. I tried communicating to Valhalla and they ignored my considerations. I hope maybe you can try to communicate this problem and explain how this definitely can be an issue! They need a button that optionally gets rid of white noise
No such button will ever appear, not for any amount of campaigning. You'll just have to use something else if this doesn't do what you want, as Sean (Costello, Valhalla DSP) has explained that the noise is part of the sound of the delay, and that different results would be arrived at were this noise not there. The way it is = the way he wanted it; cases like yours are likely to remain the minority and not quite the intended userbase either, strictly speaking.
Thank you for doing this vid. I always come to your page to check on if a plug-in is good or not... and now I am sold on this. Just purchased it after watching. Cheers!
Man, I’m hooked on your Snake Oil videos! Can you make one on the sound quality of super cheap vs expensive audio cables? I feel there’s so much misinformation on this on the Internet.
This video sold me. I bought it today, and put it on three different projects with some sloppy mixes. It may replace my Guitar Rig 5 VST, a piece of the arsenal that's going on 11 years strong.
They've really put a lot of thought and love in their work - interface is clean and the algorithms under the hood are top notch (Think Strymon, Eventide, Ventris). I had to get Valhalla Delay day one - amazing how much You can get from a Delay plugin.
Valhalla also has a free delay/reverb plugin called Supermassive that is absolutely insane. I personally like it for ambient things like pads and atmospheres, but by automating some things like the delay MS you can get some awesome glitchy effects as well.
Since I'm a guitar player for many years, I'm used to having a ton of different delay pedals to choose from. Analog, digital, modulated, tape echo, with or without reverb component...etc. So maybe I'm a little less impressed overall, but this sounds excellent and for the price is a steal. I really like it and I'll buy it as my studio comes together. Thanks for the vids!
This is my favorite delay plugin for guitar, I’ve tried all of them and this is the best bang for the buck by far. Great sounding delay and a very versatile delay plugin, this is the delay I would choose if I could use only one. Buy it and spend a few hours learning how to dial it in. The presets are decent but once you understand how this plugin works you will wonder how this plugin is so inexpensive? It’s as good as anything on the market and better IMO.
I use the pitch shift and de tune with guitar and bass. You can get some awesome effects with this plugin for a guitar. Especially where my Genre of music is more experimental as it's all improvisational the jam band scene. We use a lot of pitch shift and detune effects like the pog pedal. Another awesome selling point for this plugin.
Valhallah DSP is awesome and their plug-ins are a thing of beauty. Their reverbs are a steal at 50$ each, and so is this plug-in. I don't even try their plug-ins anymore. I just buy them sight unseen.
Ever since it's release it's totally destroyed my production. All I wanna do is take every loop, sample, and source of audio I have and run it through this plugin. I actually use it as a color box alot with the delay on Zero and mix to 100% on tape mode with wow and flutter and age all the way up. Amazing plugin.
Just picked up the Valhalla delay during all of the Black Friday sales. They just upgraded it and added several new algorithms. I've been writing some Dub tracks so have been looking for interesting delay FX. Valhalla is amazing. And I have a lot of delay plugins too.
all his plugins are worth having, - valhalla DSP make some of the most usable time-based effects available in the digital domain, IMHO, - and at extremely friendly prices, - *shimmer* is the only one i haven't purchased,... yet.
Heb jij misschien een idee hoe ik het voor elkaar krijg om in een DAW (Cubase 5) een tape delay effect te maken door een vst delay output naar zichzelf te loopen met een EQ en tape saturation er tussen ? Dus met 1 repeat en daarna met andere plug-ins het signaal weer terug naar de input te krijgen. ???????? Cubase is voor feedback beveiligd en de meeste fx racks zijn alleen in serie te schakelen. Zou toch mooi zijn als het zou lukken.
That plugin is trippy😸. Nice design as well but I have found one little graphical glitch, it’s the width of the “amount” text, it’s different from the other labels. The “amount” text very narrow compared to the rest.
i was a beta-tester on this Delay..a lot of hard work and love went into it
Valhalla plugins aren't a joke. They do as they say on the tin - which is probably why there are so few of them. The developer really cares about getting it right.
8 is few? They have way too many.
The developer forgot "Ducking" feature though. just saying...heheheeee , its a REALLY important part of delay effects.

What I love about Valhalla, besides the incredible sound, is the fact that they look like a virtual plugin and NOT like a real machine.
Valhalla plug-ins: great sound and easy to use. Of course it sounds great on the secret vocal of Sandstorm.

I just recently purchased this. I’m super happy with it. It’s super simple and sounds great. My new favorite delay plug in
I LOVE everything they make. Your reaction is priceless!
I loved it too. Probably my new go-to delay.
Sounds good and quick to use. Can't ask for more.
Better than drugs? Nah. Better with drugs.
Maybe better with a decongestant.
yep, got some molly, smack, crack, weed, much better
Plugin Drug Effect perhaps that shouldn't screw you up.

Been using their Vintage Verb for a couple years now and love it. Will have to get this now also
I do love all of their products

Absolutely fantastic plugin! Use it also for Reverb all the time! A must have!
Legit sounds like tape once you start adding the drive. 10/10 for me!

Sounds great and creative stuff sounds usable! Thanks for showing it!
