HoRNet Audio offers the HoRNet DeeLay plugin as a free download today only. The offer expires in a few hours, so act fast!
I want to publish this article as soon as possible, so here’s a very brief overview of the plugin.
HoRNet DeeLay is a delay effect that mimics 90s digital delay hardware units. Unlike the usual vintage delays that emulate tape echo units, HoRNet Audio’s plugin focuses on capturing the imperfect sound of early digital delays.
It reminds me of an old BOSS delay unit I used in a studio with my band around 20 years ago. The sound is slightly lo-fi but has an interesting character that sounds great on guitars.
You can, of course, experiment with using HoRNet DeeLay on other audio sources, too. Another excellent option is to apply a short lo-fi delay on a synth arpeggio to add a bit of complexity and depth.
The control layout is simple – you get two delay lines, each with adjustable time and stereo feedback, panning, and a single LFO for modulation. It’s easy to dial in different settings in a hurry while allowing plenty of room for experimentation, which I love seeing in a delay plugin.
The only minor nitpick I have is the look and feel of the GUI. It’s slightly too dark for my taste, lacking in contrast. Of course, I’m sure many other producers will appreciate the dark look during those long mixing sessions in a dark studio.
Anyway, HoRNet DeeLay delay is an excellent delay plugin that typically costs €7,99 on the developer’s website. You can get it for free today, though!
