You just told me to get rid of delay!
Nooo.... never said that brother; exactly the opposite in fact.
I always said that the 'verb was pushing your vox too-far back into the mix, muddying it up and making the lead vox sound boxy / "not nice".
All along I tried to get you to dial the 'verb back to an absolute minimum, including removing the tail, and instead use delay to help it sit nicely in the mix without pushing it back too much and sounding "honky" (the room-'verb effect), whilst at the same time benefitting from that magical effect delay can have of making your voice sound better.
"Olympians" so far IMHO has been the best example of what I've been trying to get you to do. Excellent man!
Think of how a little delay can bring a shitty guitar part to life. A little short plate / small room 'verb and said delay will make your vox gel with just about any mix IMHO. Just be sure to try shortening or removing the 'verb tail first; you might be surprised.
An example of what I've been saying. Said it many times in different ways.
Rock on Brother Per.
