urrrgh formula's with delays. they're the worst in my book! i used to have a delay chart in the studio and then one day it caught fire, totally destroyed. and the tracks from that point onward just sounded so much better. keep the standard presets of calculated delays, but then just knock them off slightly if you can and feel which ones you like best. i suppose it's all about filling tracks out and if you have everything ridged it all sounds too clean. see what i mean??

to me, delays are a super important part of the hard techno sound...
