Turning Off White Noise on H-Delay: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're using Waves' H-Delay plugin and experiencing unwanted white noise, don't fret. This is a common issue and can typically be resolved quickly. The white noise present in H-Delay could be due to a feature called 'Analog mode' that aims to replicate the characteristics of analog hardware devices, including the inevitable noise they produce. Fortunately, turning off the white noise is a simple process.

Follow these steps to turn off the white noise in H-Delay:

1. Open your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and load the H-Delay plugin on the desired track.
2. Locate the 'Analog' button on the top-right corner of the H-Delay interface.
3. Click on the 'Analog' button to reveal a dropdown menu. By default, the plugin is often set to '4-Old.'
4. In the dropdown menu, you have four options: 'Off,' '1-New,' '2-Old,' and '3-Old.'
5. Select 'Off.' This will disable the analog noise component of the plugin, effectively eliminating the white noise from your mix.

Following these steps will ensure that the H-Delay plugin does not introduce any unwanted white noise to your audio, while still delivering an impressive range of delay effects. Waves plugins are known for their high-quality sound and ease of use, and without white noise interrupting your workflow, you can focus on harnessing the full potential of H-Delay to create fantastic audio.

Remember that different settings could bring different experiences, so don't hesitate to experiment with various options in the Analog mode. Turn it off for complete silence, or try different levels to add character to your mix. The choice is yours!
