DLA-X Delay and Cross-feed  
This document is up to date with Waves DLA version 3.5.  
Waves DLA software guide page 1 of 6  
 
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.  
DLA Plus includes a set of presets to compensate for some single plug-ins as  
well as some plug-in chains. It has some different presets to compensate for the  
same plug-in in different sample rates such as 96kHz or 192kHz and includes  
delay compensation presets for the components of the Waves Masters bundle.  
If you adjust DLA and you need more delay you can hot switch between DLA and  
DLA Plus will update with the settings that were in the DLA plug-in to which you  
can now add further delay.

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.  
C1-DLA  
Delays the signal by 340 samples to compensate for the lookahead in the C1  
comp/sidechain and C1 Compressor/gate. Other C1 components C1  
compressor and C1 gate do not introduce delay and therefor require no  
compensation.  
UltraPitch-DLA  
Delays the signal by 8240 samples to compensate for the delay of any UltraPitch  
component.

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 useful used on  
mono input sources, it is most effective on stereo inputs, and especially when  
used in cascade with either PS-Spread or PS-Split can give spectacular and  
dramatic results.  
DLA-X  
The basic Delay and Cross feed plug-in. It has the following controls:  
Delay 0.50 – 20.00ms. Determines the delay until the signal will be fed back and  
mixed with the direct signal.  
X-Feed 0.00:1 – 1.00:1. Determines the amount of cross feed between the left  
and right channels.  
Trim is a gain control allowing to pad the input 0 - -6dBfs.  
Clip is just a counter showing you how many clipped samples pass through the  
plug-in. To avoid clipping use the Trim control.  
DLA-XL  
This Component extends the DLA-X with a frequency domain crossover allowing  
a separate Cross-feed ratio for frequencies above and below the crossover.  
On top of the DLA-X controls It has the following controls:  
X-Feed LF ratio 0.00:1 – 1.00:1. Determines the amount of cross feed between  
the left and right channels for frequencies below the crossover. This is a ratio of  
the overall cross-feed set by the X-Feed control.  
Freq. 32 – 16384Hz Sets the crossover frequency.

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.  
DLA-X family and PS22.  
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  
result of the interaction between the delayed and original sound. On the other  
hand, PS-Split (and for a lesser extent PS-Spread) will split the spectrum of a  
central sound so that distinct frequency bands will exist only in one of the two  
stereo channels, this has a different kind of coloration side effect.  
When DLA-X and PS plug-ins are used together, the DLA-X cross-feeds the  
missing frequency bands from one channel to the other, but since each channel  
has different frequency bands, the interaction between the delayed and original  
signal is avoided. A similar, but more complex effect takes place on stereo input.  
Note that following PS-Split by a stereo compatible reverb will achieve similar  
results, so using DLA-X is not needed in this case.  
PS-Split is the tool to use when you wish to split input mono sounds into two  
almost completely separate stereo positions, e.g. for a dramatic left-right split. It  
is capable of extreme and dramatic stereo separation effects. Best results are  
normally achieved when used in conjunction with one of the DLA-X plug-ins, but  
it can also be used either on its own or with a reverb effects unit.  
All three effects are fully user-adjustable from zero effect up to a high degree of  
effect — as much or as little reprocessing of stereo effect as you want or need.  
The quality as well as amount of the stereo effect is also fully under user control.  
The PS22-Spread component has the basic set of controls common to all 3 PS  
components.
