Re: [Rosegarden-user] A mechanical delay

[James W. <wa...@ya...>]

That's what you usually do when recording mono sources.
In ardour, I create a mono bus, place a simple delay plugin in the bus pre-fader, and create a send in the original track post-fader (or pre. depending on how much independence you want the level of the send signal to have) that I send to the bus input. The track and bus are panned extreme left and extreme right respectively. I then adjust the levels and delay time to my taste. I think it is a good practice to deal with mono sources only when producing songs from scratch in the studio.
