I did a blog post about this a few years ago so in case anyone hasn't seen it, here's the same thing again in YT form this time. I'm doing more of this kind of video at the moment to try & build a twitter profile (just re-joined after being cajoled into it). Hopefully this will lead to some album sales. Anyway... here's the vid:

Very useful Thanks John,

Thank you John, I do use delay on occasion but it's always been a bit hit and miss. Hopefully this will be a big help. By the way, I've seen Albert Lee at least half a dozen times and he is quite phenomenal. Willie

Yeah... Albert is amazing! I met him at a guitar show about 25 years ago when he was demo-ing Music Man guitars. Nice bloke... we chatted for a while as he was waiting to go on stage. He seemed genuinely interested to just natter about guitars with a fellow enthusiast - absolutely no big "celebrity ego" at all - the sort of bloke you'd happily go for a pint with.
We have a BPM & Delay calculator utility which is helpful in determining the delay setting.
https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?action=Utilities (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?action=Utilities)
Three-quarters of a beat is a dotted eighth note, so you can get the delay time by adding the times for an eighth note and a sixteenth note. For example, if you enter 120 BPM into the calculator, it will display the following note lengths:
| half notes | 1000.00 ms |
| quarter notes | 500.00 ms |
| eighth notes | 250.00 ms |
| sixteenth notes | 125.00 ms |
| thirty-second notes | 62.50 ms |
| sixtyfourth notes | 31.25 ms |
At 120 BPM, an eighth note is 250 ms and a sixteenth note is 125 ms, therefore a dotted eighth note is 375 ms (250 ms + 125 ms).
Update: I've added dotted eighth notes to the utility so you can get the value directly now without any additional arithmetic.
Heads up: The dotted eighth note entry is a ____ for me on all tempos I entered.
Still a good tool. I forgot all about it.

Clearing your browser's cache should fix it.
Works from home. (But I have the cache disabled for security reasons. Sucks to log in every single time I come back, but...) I'll try that at work and see if it clears up.
thanks much.
