Delay is basically the same as echo but can come in different forms. A note is played and the same note is then played back. Delay is produced by taking a recording of the initial sound and then playing it back.

Q. Should I use delay and reverb together?
Since reverb and delay often fill the same space in a mix, be sure your use of them is complementary. If you want to use delay and reverb in series — meaning one effect feeds into the other — experiment with the order. Delay before reverb creates a longer pre-delay effect for the reverb that you may enjoy.
Q. Is a delay pedal the same as Echo?
Many engineers and musicians use the two terms interchangeably. But if you want to get tweaky about it, echo effects are a subset of delay effects, but delay effects can be much more than just echo. Echo effects are also time-shifted repeats of a signal, but they are designed to sound like the echo found in nature.
Q. Why is there a delay before you hear an echo?
In audio signal processing and acoustics, echo is a reflection of sound that arrives at the listener with a delay after the direct sound. The delay is directly proportional to the distance of the reflecting surface from the source and the listener.
Q. Should you use reverb on vocals?
Chances are that you already use return channels when adding reverb, but doing so is especially important when working with vocals. The vocal in your track should clearly cut through its associated reverb, which is much more difficult to achieve when using reverb as an insert effect.
Q. What is slap echo?
Slap echo or slapback is a single echo resulting from non-absorbing (i.e., reflective) surfaces, characterized by a significant amount of high frequency content. One distinct repeat-echo is added to an instrument sound resulting in a very live sound similar to what you would hear in an auditorium.
Q. How do you stop an echo slap?
Have someone stand by each speaker clapping their hands while you sit in the listening position to see if you can hear the slap echoes and then try placing a thickly folded or rolled up towel at various positions along the wall and repeat the clap-listen tests until you’ve found the wall position where the slap echo is …
Q. How long is a slap delay?
The delays are around 30 to 50 milliseconds in timing. If you push it further, somewhere between 75-200 Milliseconds, you arrive into slap delay territory.
Q. How do you make a slap back delay?
Here’s how to set your delay pedal to achieve a slapback delay:
- Dry/Wet mix: 50%
- Delay timing: Quarter note delay (eg: 600ms at a tempo of 100 bpm)
- Feedback: Turn it as low as possible so it only repeats the sound once.
