Delay and echo effects
Delay s are separate copies of an original signal that reoccur within milliseconds of each other. Echoes are sounds that
are delayed far enough in time so that you hear each as a distinct copy of the original sound. When reverb or chorus
might muddy the mix, both delays and echoes are a great way to add ambience to a track.
To access familiar options from hardware delays, use the Echo effect in Adobe Audition.

Analog Delay effect
The Delay And Echo > Analog Delay effect simulates the sonic warmth of vintage hardware delay units. Unique
options apply characteristic distortion and adjust the stereo spread. To create discrete echoes, specify delay times of 35
milliseconds or more; to create more subtle effects, specify shorter times.
Mode
Specifies the type of hardware emulation, determining equalization and distortion characteristics. Tape and
Tube reflect the sonic character of vintage delay units, while Analog reflects later electronic delay lines.
Dry Out
Determines the level of original, unprocessed audio.
Wet Out
Determines the level of delayed, processed audio.
Delay
Specifies the delay length in milliseconds.
Feedback
Creates repeating echoes by resending delayed audio through the delay line. For example, a setting of 20%
sends delayed audio at one-fifth of its original volume, creating echoes that gently fade away. A setting of 200% sends
delayed audio at double its original volume, creating echoes that quickly grow in intensity.
Note:
When experimenting with extremely high Feedback settings, turn down your system volume.
Trash
Increases distortion and boosts low frequencies, adding warmth.
Spread
Determines the stereo width of the delayed signal.
