To calculate the Pre-Delay Time (PD):
\[ PD = \frac{60}{BPM \times PPQ} \]
Where:
Pre-Delay is a term used in audio processing, specifically in reverb effects, to refer to the time gap between the original sound and the onset of reverberation. It is used to create a sense of depth and space in the sound, making it seem as though the sound is coming from a larger room or hall. The longer the pre-delay, the larger the perceived space. It is an essential parameter in music production and live sound engineering.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PD = \frac{60}{120 \times 24} \times 1000 \approx 2.08 \text{ milliseconds} \]
The pre-delay time is approximately 2.08 milliseconds.
