The key characteristics of Delay Designer are its multi-tap functionality, its ease of use and its programmability during setting up and shaping of the different 'taps'. This quickly points to the fact that Delay Designer has been developed as the flagship effect in the delay family, just as Space Designer is for the reverb crowd, due to its unique convolution-based features. One of the major new additions to Logic's arsenal of plug-in effects is the Delay Designer, an advanced multi-tap delay with an interface that's rather reminiscent of the Space Designer at first sight. Let's start exploring the new Logic effects and enhanced features by first taking a tour of the newcomers. In the case of multi-channel surround versions of plug-ins, additional buttons become available in the header, giving access to routing and configuration alternatives. Audio Units plug-ins are amalgamated into the first layer of the plug-in menu, so you don't have to consciously search for plug-ins by format type.
Assigning plug-ins from the channels is easier, since menu hierarchy has been rearranged to display plug-ins by type (such as dynamics and modulation, for example), then by name, with a final choice of mono, stereo or mono to stereo, depending on the status of the channel in question.
Alongside these new additions, stalwarts such as Space Designer, Stereo Compressor, AutoFilter, Linear Phase, Channel and Match EQ have received an overhaul, with new features and updated interfaces.Īcross the board, plug-ins now feature a streamlined new header and menu with Previous, Next and Compare buttons. Version 8 of Logic Pro brings with it a number of completely new effects, namely Delay Designer, Echo and Microphaser, which add to the impressive list of effects that were included with Logic 7. Up to 26 different taps can be programmed, and each one can be individually shaped.
Logic Pro 8 has not only introduced a major interface redesign, but also brings powerful new effects, alongside welcome improvements to a number of pre-existing ones.ĭelay Designer is Logic's new flagship delay.
