So what if you could duck out the snare from the overhead channels? Well, with Factory you can. You know the scenario - you spend ages getting the snare sound just right, maybe with a gated reverb sound, and then you open up the overhead mics and it all changes. The possibilities are endless, so I'll just offer one example of the sort of thing that Factory can do: to remove the snare drum spill from the overhead mics on a drum kit rig. It is difficult to compare Factory with any other plug-in from any other manufacturer, as to me it seems pretty well unique.
I was impressed, although I actually found it easier to set this same effect up on the Waves Stereo Supertap plug-in while it doesn't have the dancing filter effects, the display is much clearer, and it gives you access to all the controls, rather than having to select the delay and then adjust a common set of controls. For example, Band Delays makes it very easy to set a stereo slap echo: try using four delays alternatively panned left and right, spaced a quaver apart and setting low-pass filters to roll off the high frequencies with each successive repeat. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I found a trip through the presets gave me a very useful tutorial on what is achievable and then you are really only limited by your imagination and time in achieving some really wild delay-related effects.
What is it like to use? Well, the enhancements Eventide have added to the plug-in version, together with the ability to sync it up to the song tempo, mean that if you want complex multiple delays then Band Delays can deliver with the correct programming.
