Free Delay Plugins
From a quiet slapback to an echo that becomes part of the rhythm, delay is a simple way to give a sound another life. Explore the free delay plugins in the directory and follow the individual entries for features, videos and download information.
Make the repeats part of the music.
Tempo-synced repeats are a useful starting point, but a slightly different timing can change the feel. Listen to what happens as feedback builds and whether the repeats get darker, brighter or less predictable. On melodic samples, an echo can fill the gaps without needing another instrument.
