Toontrack Ambient Delays EZmix Pack

50 delays for creative sound design, ambient soundscapes and general mixing.

The Ambient Delays EZmix Pack comes with 50 aux and insert signal chain presets where the delay effect is the distinct pivot point. Short, wide, distorted, pulsating, reversed, pitched, modulated, panned, crushed - this collection has anything from ultra-modern rhythmic and pulsating LFOs to long chains of effects resulting in dwindling echoes and seemingly endless decays.

All in all, this collection presents a powerhouse of creative effects for use on any audio source. Be it vocals, guitars, drums or keys - the Ambient Delays EZmix Pack is the perfect toolbox for sound designers looking to create imaginative soundscapes or mixing engineers in need of some new and off-kilter sonic ideas.

• 50 aux and insert signal chain presets with a clear emphasis on delay
• For general mixing and creative sound design
• Effects range from delay, distortion and pitch to filter sweeps, choruses, phasers and more
• For any audio source

AUX VS. INSERT.

This collection of presets was based on aux-sends as opposed to inserts. Why - and what is really the difference between the two?
In EZmix 2, the end user has two macro controls available in the interface. While making each preset, I assign which parameters each knob controls. For these presets, I found it more inspiring to use a broader scope than having one knob only handling the dry/wet signal. As for the difference, an aux is normally used when you want to use the same effect or preset to saturate several channels in your mix. For example when using a reverb, you might want to send that signal from the guitar track, the vocals or from any other element in your current mix, but you want to be able to control the level between the instruments individually. You'd be using just one instance of an effect on an aux/bus channel and send to that one aux/bus from several channels, saving you a lot of CPU. An insert, on the other hand, is something you put directly on an actual channel. Important to remember, though, is that effects that involve modulation or reverb (which a lot of these presets do) are in stereo. If you are using EZmix 2 with any of these presets as inserts on mono tracks, make sure to use the mono/stereo version. Otherwise the original idea would be lost.
