Delay done right
A little bit of delay can elevate any track. Comeback Kid lets you dial it in with fewer obstacles. The plugin offers a pristine sound quality and a range of creative coloration options to take your delays from bland to bold.
Comeback Kid
Deceivingly simple
We set out to make the perfect go-to delay plugin with some powerful upgrades from the standard tools.
The delay options give you all the basics laid out in the simplest way possible with no submenus or friction. Additionally, you get 18 powerful tone shaping features and an onboard ducker to attenuate the delay signal when the dry signal is playing.
Comeback Kid speeds up your workflow and adds depth to your sound.
Craft your own delay color
Comeback Kid lets you design your own delay color for any creative need. Use the 14 shaping effects to sculpt the tone of your wet signal.
Dial in tape delay sounds, modern slap backs, crunchy lo-fi echoes and beyond. Or stumble into a combination of styles for novel textures.
Regardless of your settings, Comeback Kid offers state-of-the-art sound quality.
“Comeback Kid instantly became the only delay plugin I go to since the first time I used it. Whether I’m creating tracks, working on vocals or doing a mix, it gets it right every time. I’m using it on everything!”
Di Genius
Grammy Award-Winning Producer - Drake, Shakira, will.i.am
“Love these things. Comeback Kid may have de-throned another commonly used delay, Super VHS weirds up all kinds of things, particularly reverb returns and samples. The parallel processors are great as well, replacing auxes and several plugins along the way.”
Chris Godbey
Producer and Mixer - Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Jay-Z
“Comeback Kid has become one of my go to delay plugins now for it’s versatility in sound, but also for its quality. This is one of the best plugin delays on the market.”
Ben Baptie
Producer and Mixer - Lady Gaga, The Strokes, Mark Ronson
“Comeback Kid is my go-to for delay effects. Need to diffuse your delay with reverb? Check. Need to duck your delay? Check. Need a splash of saturation? Check. You get the picture...”
Dexter Simmons
Grammy Award-Winning Mix Engineer - Destiny’s Child, Janet Jackson, OutKast
“Comeback Kid on a vocal is a cheat code. Very musical and will always remind you that it’s a song and not a science project. All of the Baby Audio stuff sounds amazing and is extremely simple to use. Any producer or engineer should have this in their toolkit.”
Preston "Prizzie" Reid
Grammy Award-Winning Mixer and Producer - Chief Keef, 21 Savage, Alicia Keys, Lil Uzi Vert
“Comeback Kid can transform even the most basic sounds into lush, swirling textures. I would call it my favorite delay but it’s so much more than that.”
Tycho
Artist and Producer
“Comeback Kid has got to be my favourite new delay. You can get super creative with this thing and the presets are fantastic. I am a big fan of Baby Audio’s plugins!”
Chris Sheldon
Producer and Mixer - Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Elton John
