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.
@@noname-ng6sj It didnt have ducking the last time i checked which was a few weeks ago., and it was just implemented very recently in its newest update. iF YOU KEPT READING OTHER POSTS. YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. And I did check my facts as the version I had PRIOR to THIS newest update that JUST RECENTLY happened. And telling me that I am lazy is making assumptions as YOU DO NOT know me or the amounts of work I have put into this music industry for the last 40 years. You DONT know me to make an assumption that I am lazy.
@@TwstedTV I did read them, doesn't make you any less wrong. I can tell that you've spent 40 years. It takes that long to be able to write a paragraph about something like this because of one message from a stranger.
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.
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. 🤪
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.
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.
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.
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! 🤓
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 bought this Delay just now, I had seen your RUclips 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 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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

yeh, i will buy room and delay in december, cause the fruity reverb and delay is only a C+
@@hemdvonlidl2613 guess who just cracked it
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.

Great to see you excited about a plug-in.
I'm laughing my head off. You reaction every time you twist a new knob is exactly mine. This plugin is fabulous.
A tool that makes you creative. The kind of thing I love. Well done Valhalla.
I just recently purchased this. I’m super happy with it. It’s super simple and sounds great. My new favorite delay plug in
Valhalla products are the shit mate. I have vintage verb and room - brilliant plugins.
I loved it too. Probably my new go-to delay.
Sounds good and quick to use. Can't ask for more.
I LOVE everything they make. Your reaction is priceless!
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.
This guy if he ever did do drugs and get the brain spins he would just let it spin up till his head exploded just to see what happened afterwards.

Valhalla plug-ins = The best value on the market today.
Been using their Vintage Verb for a couple years now and love it. Will have to get this now also
Valhalla effects are not just another iteration of the same thing they usually make the difference
9:30 Dat is behoorlijk trippy. I like it! 🤩🤩
Looking forward to what you will do for the 50k Special. Will be awesome, for sure :-)

Legit sounds like tape once you start adding the drive. 10/10 for me!

Best Verbs, Best Delays, Best Prices... Love me some Valhalla and use them daily :)

I’m surprised how easy Valhalla plug-ins are. Even my brother with no knowledge of plug-ins know how to operate this.
Amazing.
And Sean is still making new models for it! He's currently working on an Echoplex model! 😃

This looks SICK

yeah looks like brilliant engineering, that makes stuff not also very useful, but also very precise for what it is supposed to deliver.
One of the best delays currently on the market
