A friend needs a low cost digital audio delay to sync live video and audio.
Based on his guess, the audio needs to delayed about 200ms. What units should he
consider? Cost is a major consideration. The audio is voice only.

I don't think it gets any cheaper than a used Alesis Wedge. But don't even
think about using it in a live situation or any situation where it totally
losing all of its settings would be a major hazard.

Alesis Nanoverbs are showing up on our local Craigslist for cheap. I just
got one for $30, found after doing a search.

The manual claims that you can get up to 1300ms delay. It shouldn't be a
problem in the least for your voice application.

It's discontinued, I assume. Even though it would be in a live situation, losing
its cookies wouldn't be a big deal. They would stop the live recording, reset
it, and pick up where they left off. The primary objective is the recording, not
the live webcast.

I'll have to keep an eye open for them. Didn't know that was a delay. My buddy
needs four of them.

if it's for a recording, you should be able to fix that in post when
doing the editing..

Yes, it does it's brand of flanging, reverb, and chorus. There's a
distinct delay setting that's adjustable.

They're usually going for $50-$60 on eBay, and there seem to be plenty of
them if all else fails. I was looking around there before I searched CL
and got lucky.

True, but if he's interested in something that will hold its setting live and still does good digital delay I've two
LExicon units, an lxp1 and lxp5, I might part with either
one if the price is right.


For mcp: Email me privately if interested.
I'm paring down to just doing acoustic music recordings, but will keep a small processing rig for briefcase jobs so I
won't kill myself to get rid of signal processing that would be useful in that application, as it's not eating anything,
but would be fair.

Regards,
Richard

Thomann sells a delay for delayes speakers in the t.racks series:

no actual experience with it, but price fits requirements.

Behringer Shark.

There have been some great suggestions here. Thanks. I've never used a Nanoverb,
and I've never heard of the Shark. Both look like possible solutions.

It's a delay until the power drops and then it resets and turns into
something different (sometimes something horrible like a triple flanger).
If this is not a problem, go for it. The Wedge I recommended is similar.

The nanoverb? No. It's set by front panel knobs, so it retains
settings when you drop power to it. The trouble with the nanoverb is
that you can't control the number of repeats ( that I know of).

Agreed, that's why I run stuff like that on a UPS.

Eh? My Wedge holds it's settings, including my unsaved adjustments. It
powers back up to exactly the screen I left it at - which surprised me when
I pulled one out of storage after a couple of years.

He ordered a Behringer Shark DSP110 to play with. Knowing him, he'll probably
buy a Wedge and a Nanoverb, too.

Again, thanks for the recommendations.

Not cheap, but maybe you can find a good one used: Rane AD 22.

I think that Behringer has a cheap one, maybe named a "Shark". I have no
experience with it.

The HT people have products like these in their catalogs.
