"What's up? My name is Darin, on behalf of Extra Village I'm going to show you guys how to create a song using Reason. All right, in this segment right here I'm going to talk to you guys about the DDL (Digital Delay). The synthesizer, I hooked it up with the subtractor, which is the insomnia I have on here, which is the sound right here. All right, so if I hook this up and turn the bypass off, and I put it back on on, this digital delay you can make it echo out; it will make it sound like a dropped beat in a way. So you can switch it from three sixteenths to five sixteenths, it's either way you can switch it. It's a step all the way from one to sixteen that you can switch it to. When it's all together it sounds like this. On this you can also change the dry and the wet which will make it sound even more echoed or sound more dry so it can sound, it sounds off. So you can change the delay as well: you could have it echo just a little bit or you could echo for like at least eight bars long. However you want it to do. You can also pan it from left to right if you want to as well. So this is pretty cool to hook up with other synthesizers that you might to want to use. If you use it on strengths as well, have a little echo effect on it. So this is how it sounds with the subtractor hooked up and it will look much better when the song is complete."
