I meant that the last two pages were already dedicated to your personal support... ;-)
I'll try once more. But instead of focussing on numbers, you should try to understand the underlying mechanism.
1. "Old" mix rule: adjusting MIX in the Delay block affects the balance between the dry signal and the "wet" signal (= delay trails). If you increase MIX the delay gets louder, but the dry level get softer. This makes perfectly sense in rack and studio gear but is considered less desirable by people used to delay pedals.
LEVEL = the level of the entire block as part of the audio chain. So with Delay in series, LEVEL controls both dry and delayed signal. With Delay in parallel and MIX at 100%, LEVEL controls only the delayed signal's level.
INPUT GAIN = the level of the signal entering the Delay block. Often this is kept at 100%. But you can use this as an alternative to LEVEL to control the loudness of the block.
2. New mix rule: adjusting MIX with Delay in series, wil not affect the level of the dry signal, up to 50% MIX. So you just add delay instead of adjusting the balance.
This is NOT the same as maintaining the OVERALL block level.
3. Summing: when summing two separate signals, the overall level will increase when those levels reach a certain threshold together. A Delay block in series contains those two separate signals: dry + wet. I don't know the exact MIX value where this will happen (with LEVEL at 0dB and INPUT GAIN at 100%), but you can hear it of course. It doesn't happen at 25% MIX, but it will start to happen somewhere between, say, 40% and 50%.
4. Parallel: when putting the Delay in a separate row, the mix law does not apply. Set MIX at 100%, because you want only the 100% wet signal in that path, no dry signal because there already is a separate dry path. Keep LEVEL at 0 dB. And use INPUT GAIN to dial in the desired amount of delay. Or: keep INPUT GAIN at 100% and use LEVEL to dial in the desired amount of delay.
The "summing signals makes the overall signal louder" rule also applies to a parallel path. Here it's easier to control the overall level: to prevent the overall signal getting louder when increasing delay, set LEVEL at -6 dB, and attach the modifier to INPUT GAIN.
To do the same with Delay in series, just experiment with MIX values, and when you find out the Threshold, put that in the modifier's Max parameter.
