## Short Delays When delays are under 40 milliseconds, they start to sound like a single sound instead of two separate ones. The events occur so closely together that they merge into one, making it difficult to perceive them as distinct echoes. To achieve this, ensure you are in time mode, not sync mode, as the delays are substantially shorter. ![[Haas Effect - Short Delays.mp4]] ## Haas Effect You can leverage ultra-short delays to widen the stereo perception of a sound. This phenomenon, known as the Haas effect, is often used to enhance the stereo image of a track, making it sound fuller and more spacious without the perception of a distinct echo. You can use the Dynamic Delay effect to create stereo delay effects by adjusting the L/R ratio knob, but keep in mind that the milliseconds are always linked to each other. A better choice for a true stereo delay is the Mod III Delay Stereo effect plugin. Apply the same processes you learned with the other delay to this one. In this effect, the left and right channels each have a specific delay. For this exercise, set the delays under the 40-millisecond Haas effect threshold and ensure that the delays are unlinked, allowing each channel to have its own separate delay. This creates a wider and more immersive stereo image. Notice how the sound becomes fuller when the delays are different in the right and left channels under this 40-millisecond threshold. ![[Haas Effect - Full Effect.mp4]]
