Our review

🌟 Course Review: Mastering Delay for Instruments 🌟

Overview: The course "Mastering Delay for Instruments" by Emilio, part of the Signature Sound series, has received a global rating of 4.90 from recent reviews. The feedback indicates that while the course has its strengths, it also has areas where it could be improved, particularly in its focus on vocal applications of delay and the quantity of instructional content.

Pros:

  • Quality Instruction: Emilio is praised for his clear explanations and good teaching approach, making complex concepts understandable.
  • Song Selection: The course utilizes a great song for demonstrating the effects of different types of delay.
  • Effective Demonstrations: Students appreciate the real-world application of techniques demonstrated in the mixes, which they can apply to their own music.

Cons:

  • Content Focus: The majority of the course content (about 2 hours) is dedicated to vocal delay applications, with a relatively short section on delay for drums and lead guitar, where more detailed instruction on instrument-specific delay techniques is expected.
  • Pacing: Some learners find Emilio's pacing to be slower than desired due to the extensive demonstration of effects over longer parts of songs.
  • Video Material Quantity: Only approximately 2 hours of video material are provided, which some consider insufficient for the full course price.
  • Lack of Detail: Certain users felt that they lost track of the specific Pro-Tools configurations demonstrated in the course due to a lack of prior knowledge in that area.

Additional Feedback and Wishes:

  • Instrumental Applications: There is a strong desire for more content showing delay effects on other instruments such as drums, synths, etc., to complement the vocal focus.
  • Expansion of Course Content: Users are hopeful that the course will receive additional content in the future, addressing their needs and expectations.
  • More Signature Sound Courses: Learners are looking forward to more courses from Signature Sound, particularly on topics like Reverb and EQ.

Summary: This course is a valuable resource for understanding and applying delay effects in music production, with Emilio's instruction being highly regarded. However, the focus on vocal applications may leave some users wanting more in-depth exploration of delay techniques for other instruments. The course's length and content distribution are points of contention, with some feeling it is too brief and lacks detail in certain areas. Despite these criticisms, the course has been beneficial to many, and with additional material, it could be an even more comprehensive guide to mastering delay across various elements of a mix.

Final Verdict: Is it worth the money? For those who are primarily interested in vocal delay techniques or are looking for a supplementary resource, the course is a solid choice at a discounted price. For full price, it may not offer enough content for some learners. Overall, the course is recommended with the expectation that it will evolve to include more instrument-specific applications of delay effects.
