We get spacious with two of Soundtoys’ brilliant delay plug-ins: the tape inspired EchoBoy and the Primal Tap, which echoes the digital brilliance of the Lexicon Prime Time Model 93. With the suite of Soundtoys plugins comes two stellar delay options: the EchoBoy and Primal Tap, faithfully emulating and augmenting time-honoured tape echoes, analog hardware units and vintage digital delays. Now that the DAW is the dominant environment for recording and mixing, plugin companies are in arms race to create innovative delay options, ones that both modernise the effect and also provide a link to the past – echoes that emulate the old classics. In the ensuing decades, delay units evolved in a number of ways, from dedicated tape echo machines to analog units, and of course, into the digital domain. The echo has been colouring music since audio engineering pioneers first routed signal from one tape machine to another, and sent that audio back to the main mix at a slightly slower speed, thus creating what we now know simply as ‘delay’.
