Delay Line
A delay line is an elementary, functional [audio signal] processing unit that models "acoustic propagation delay", i.e. it introduces a time delay between its input and output signal.
- fundamental building block of [digital delay effects] and digital [synthesis] models
Localization
Delays as they occur in nature are essential cues for our biological and auditory ability to recognize the placement of sounds in our environment.
- crucial skill for survival
Human auditory system relies on sound delays as an important cue for [localization] of sources.
Delays can be exploited for creative spatial effects or localization cues.
