Here's a tip for Delay Control that has helped me. If you are presented with 2 close options for a tight delay, let's say 1 millisec and 10 millisecs, listen for artifacts like phasing when turning on and off the delay. If the sound gets thinner when the delay is active, it is phasing, and chances are a delay between 1-2 millisecs is being used. Also keep in mind that it is almost impossible to hear a delay under 30 milliseconds (give or take depending on the invidual and the sound source) due to the HASS effect. If you don't hear a delay at all, it's probably under 30 milliseconds.
@Mr. Question a few seconds would be a lot. We are talking 30ish milliseconds. That's about 3% of a second. The delay could be stereo, or mono. Still the HASS effect. A delay doesn't necessarily have to be in stereo. It's just repeating the same wave form after the initial wave form.
Literally just time... the HASS effect is such a small amount of time between the original signal, then followed by an identical delayed signal that the brain cannot distinguish that a delayed signal was even present. It usually just makes the sound sound really fat or thick. Anything about 25-30 ms is usually enough of a delayed signal that the brain can actually distinguish that there is a delay between the signals. Anything below that time frame cannot be heard by the human ear, and that's what is known as the HASS effect :D
@A UHA! Funny enough that's how I did learn what the HASS effect was when I was initially having trouble with delay control
