# Delay

The audio delay operator adds a delay to the audio.

          Note

          

This operator displays the audio **input level** before processing and the **output level** after the operator has been applied, allowing you to monitor how the adjustments affect the signal.

A miniature audio meter (VU meter) in the header indicates incoming audio, so you can quickly verify that the operator is receiving audio even when it is collapsed.

          Tip

          

Use [Settings](/docs/settings-audio) to adjust how long the signal overload indicator stays active, and [Project Options](/docs/runtime-performance) to change the maximum peak level displayed in all audio meters to your preference.

**Settings**

- **Delay (ms)** - Delay in milliseconds,

For more information on audio, see [Working with audio in scenes](/v1/docs/working-with-audio-in-scenes).

(The operator is available in Composer R1 2025 and later releases)
