Subdivision Time Common Use 🎧 Mixing Tip: Don't treat these numbers as rules. They are starting points. A vocal might sound better with a shorter pre-delay if you want it to feel intimate, while a longer pre-delay can keep the vocal upfront while allowing a large reverb behind it.
Pro trick: Try making the delay time and reverb decay relate to the tempo. Tempo-synced effects often feel more connected to the groove because the reflections arrive at musically meaningful moments. -
A Reverb & Delay Time Calculator helps singers, rappers, producers, and audio engineers find tempo-synced effect settings for their music. Enter your song's BPM, choose a time signature and music style, and explore suggested delay times, reverb pre-delay, decay, mix, and feedback settings.
Delay creates repeating echoes, while reverb adds a sense of space and depth. Both effects can make vocals and instruments sound more polished, but using too much can make a mix sound muddy or unclear.
This calculator helps you match delay timing to your song's rhythm using subdivisions such as quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. It also provides suggested reverb settings based on your selections.
For singers and rappers, a tempo-synced delay can add movement to vocal phrases, while carefully adjusted reverb can create atmosphere without overpowering the lyrics. Producers can also use these settings on drums, guitars, keyboards, and other instruments.
Tip: Try using a longer reverb pre-delay to help your lead vocals stay clear and upfront while the reverb fills the space behind them. Treat the calculator's suggestions as starting points, and adjust everything by ear to fit your mix.
