The DLA plug-in
INTRODUCTION
The DLA Plug-Ins are small TDM utility plug-ins that delay the audio passing
through. This is not the delay effect used as an echo generator. It is a handy tool
for applying short delays for a few useful applications.
DLA consists of 8 different plug-in components.

Handles the shorter delays of up to 1000 samples or 22.73 ms @ 44.1kHz. It has
only one control to set a value between 0-1000.
DLA Plus
Goes up to 7999 samples or 181.8ms @ 44.1kHz. It has one control for 0 – 999
samples and a separate control for 1K increments between 1 and 8.

L1-DLA, C1-DLA and UltraPitch–DLA
Waves DLA version 3.5 provides 3 fixed length DLA components to compensate
for some of our Gold bundle plug-ins –
L1-DLA
Delays the signal by 64 samples to compensate for the lookahead in
L1UltraMaximizer as well as Renaissance Compressor, Renaissance VOX
and L2UltraMaximizer.

DELAY AND CROSS FEED
The DLA-X process family is based on short time stereo cross feed delays (not
an echo effect). DLA-X is the basic effect; DLA-XL controls the amount of cross
feed separately for the high and low frequencies, and DLA-XLB has an optional
longer delay of low frequencies. While DLA-X processors can be use

DLA-XLB
This component is just like the DLA-XL with the addition of a Bass delay On/Off
control. This control adds further delay to the low frequencies.

The DLA-X and PS processes complement each other. When used on mono
input sources DLA-X tends to produce a comb-filter coloration side effect as a
