Sound Design Tricks with Valhalla FreqEcho
Hey folks!
I wanna show you a cool sound design trick today which we’ll call the Infinite Delay technique. When you hear it you’ll undoubtedly recognize it from songs & films so it’s not something I invented, but nevertheless I really enjoy using it. You need an Echo/Tape type of Delay Plugin for this work, ie one that has a variable buffer that is able to self-oscillate. Lots of different plugins work for this but Valhalla FreqEcho is a free one with some extra features that makes it a good choice & it’s free!
