Re: How can I add a 1.5ms time delay (not echo) to one chann

with the tests I've done so far, the difference is quite easily noticeable and repeatable. I don't doubt it, but we need to take care to not jump to assumptions about why that is until we know exactly why the two are not identical. Going slightly off at a tangent, I've seen a fascinating study in w...

Re: How can I add a 1.5ms time delay (not echo) to one chann

AIFF should be OK. That's a supported lossless format for both programs. Apparently (I don't use Garageband) Garageband can import WAV or AIFF files and can export AIFF (but not WAV directly).

Re: How can I add a 1.5ms time delay (not echo) to one chann

In Garageband, the process of adding the 1.5ms delay is more tedious because Garageband does not allow you to manipulate only the left or right independently; so one must import the file, copy it to a second track, mute the left channel of one track and the right channel of the other track, drag th...
