What are your favorite settings for slow vs fast songs?

Please be specific about how many ms and regen %.

Also, can anyone tell me what an "offset delay" is? I'm trying out a unit that displays "Delay ms", "Offset ms", "Regen %, and EQ settings (such as LPF 10.3K, or HPF 490).

Can someone explain some of the terms?

Thanks in advance!

Another question.

When using two separate units, should the delay come after the reverb, or should the reverb come after the delay?

Thanks again

After reading how E used the dd5 tap tempo delay by setting it to the tempo of the song, with the ability to set it straight on, double, or quarter note triplet or ?, it made sense to me to set delays that way most of the time so I got that unit and do the same. Not sure about offset myself.

No takers? Surely some of you guys could look at your rack-mount delay units to see what your settings are. What about the Pro-Fex units? Are those settings in milliseconds?

Lee,
your delay uses milliseconds; 1000 millseconds equals 1 second.
Regen Percentage means the signal will be recycled and feeded back (repeated or regenerated) for a certain percentage. 100% may be full feedback to the point of ringing.
EQ LPF means Low Pass Filter set at e.g. 10.3 kilohertz, which means your treble will be filtered out from 10.3 k upwards.
HPF means High Pass Filter.
Offset in Milliseconds; I can only guess here. It might be a second delay which is offset by a certain amount.
Hope this helps.

My settings change from song to song. I tap the tempo in at the start, and often alter the repeats and mix values--sometimes the eq, too, on the fly. My current favorite is the Line 6 Delay Modeler, which has easy access to all those settings via knobs.
