Man this is THE video on Echoboy. I love how thorough this is. Thank you!

The power of Echoboy is versatility. So many useful models and so many ways to shape the sound to your need. It might not be the best true models, like UAD tape delays as one example, but Echoboys models are close enough. What really matters is the power to shape the models exactly to the music you’re working on. Place the resonance on that exact frequency you’re after. The Style editor is what it’s all about. And on top of that you can control compression, Distortion and diffusion. This versatility you wont get by UAD. You get one sound. The best sound. But you’ll find it either works or it does’nt. Most of the time it doesn’t cos it can’t be tweaked like Echoboy. Somebody mentioned Valhalla Delay. And while it’s amazing too, Maybe a bit better fidelity wise, and with some similar features (Diffusion, Distortion etc.), it still does’nt offer that depth of versatility. Pretty amazing for a plugin dating back to 2006. 😀

I've been playing around with devil-loc delux and I just figured out that the two release settings are tempo synced to 1/4 note for slow and an 1/8 note for fast. Thats soooo useful!

Great walkthrough of the Soundtoys Echoboy! I didn't realize all of the modes and subtle details in there. The pacing in this video is great for following long with your own music setup and seeing what similar settings and mode changes sound like with your own tracks. And with the monitoring of the sound field displayed and toggling the Echoboy on and off I could see what kinds of stereo effects are in the sounds I'm using and what the Echoboy is adding or changing. I've saved a vst preset of that Insight setup which I plan to use a lot, thanks!

Great tutorial on Echoboy. I plan to get their whole bundle sometime in '23. I like the Relab LX480 Essentials reverb I've got already, but I do like the feature set this has along with its sounds.

Thank you! You just taught me how to read a spectrogram. I have been intimidated by those, but it makes a lot more sense to me now.

And... holy crap thanks for making these videos cuz they are inspiring me to experiment more with the sound toys plugins! I just figured out that decapitator also clips the signal at the output knob which is massive for making drums hit hard!

Just found your channel and it has been amazing, i've been away from mixing for 5 years and the way you break everything down is perfect.

THank you. You have literally opened up the world of sound design for me with this tutorial.

I wish you hadn't listened to the whiners who said they don't like it when you loop vocals or guitars. This demo would make way more sense on vocals.

As always, great video. Thank you 👍

I picked up Echoboy on sale. Ran it in front of Liquidsonics 7th verb. The sound was stunning! I’m done hunting for delays.

One of the best echoboy tutorials….thank you

Great work. Thanks so much for sharing the details. Subscribed!

I have all the soundtoys tools and I the only two I use occasionally is Echoboy and Decapatator. They are versatile but they’re also fairly cpu hungry. I also have other go to delays like Valhalla which Are light on the cpu and I prefer the results. Great step by step explanation of how all the controls work. I learned a few things about some of the controls ive never played with.

The sort of dampening effect w/ prime number is a really good tip! I can see that being invaluable if you're tracking live drum kits especially.

This is just a gem of information

Great video 🌌

love it . i started using their phase mistress to add phaser to crash cymbals . then i starte dplaying with echo boy to run on the entire drum buss , and also for a track where i just drop in sound effects . at this point i am familiar with the presets and i can adjust and tweak so its become a real favorite . i have also played with the distortion stuff and its just phenomonal. i may need to branch out and use some different stuff (valhalla freq delay is also so cool) . i know a profesional musician who uses soundtoys and i have been able to hear when he uses it for dramatic effect - i am like - there is echo boy ! so cool . they really are great plug ins , as i have played with all of it and i have to say i recomend this stuff .

Amazing information. Thanks for sharing!

my go to delay is the 'old' H delay from waves. very easy to use and quick to have great results

very useful, thank you.

Thanks Manchester, from a guy in Manchester

Love Soundtoys. Their products are great

H-delay is my go to plus Live delay fx

Another great in-depth walkthrough, these are fantastic…well done

I bought Echoboy because it sounds good, especially on guitars. Also the presets are ace - useful selections, very well made, decribed and organised. Excellent starting points. The only thing I don't like is stupid iLok.

Soundtoys plugins are awesome

Echoboy is my "go-to" delay, together with Waves H-Delay, but I tend to prefer Echoboy over H-Delay because of its versatility. I use around a bit more than half of the facilities provided, but that is enough for me to achieve brilliant results

Great in depth video, would have appreciated if you had covered some presets for vocals etc for us noobs.

Since we're having a Valhalla x Echoboy debate here imma give my perspective: Echoboy has more parameters/customization, however Valhalla has a bit less latency. Both take almost the exact amount of pc resource here (calling anything from Soundtoys "cpu hungry" is quite a weird statement). At the end of the day it comes down to taste/money between those two.

This plugin is like 4 or 5 in one. The tweak and the style edit button is where it's at for me.

man echoboy works perfect for widening drums from your example here. Would you suggest sending it as an aux bus or do you think that id run into phase issues? Great video btw!

I love that Izotope Insoght from what I see here. This is my fjrst time knowing it exists but i have always loved anything Izotope after using RX for doing audio restoration for people years ago. Im about to get RX 10 in the Producrion Bundle and Im going ro see if it has Inaight in it. I do better with visual representation of thibgs so this I beliwve will help me with alot of rhings when i am in spund design mode of song production. Cant wait to get Echo Boy and Decapitator too. Alot kf power in just plug Ins. Wish Id had all this power in 2011.

THANK YOU !!!

I use it a lot on synthesizer sequences

Hi there and happy new year! Great video on the plugin! Very detailed! An irrelevant question...Why you have the Yamaha monitors placed like this?

Hi great video, @5:19 can you explain WHY we don't want the delay inline on the track? What is the benefit to routing to an Aux bus? As a beginner the only benefit that I can see is that you could route multiple tracks to one effect and have a single change affect multiple tracks... am I missing something?

Always preferred Valhalla delays and reverbs !

The different saturation styles are based off style edit parameters ? Or is it a combination of changing saturation algorithms and style edit?

Used to be my go to, then I got Valhalla Delay. Still use Echoboy though, mainly for the multitap.

Im after this echo, want dit for years, but dat you think there are way better plugins out their with the same features and sound quality?

I'm one of the few it seems that has never bought a single Soundtoys product, though I have been tempted many times. I can see the appeal of this one, especially after your showcase, but I think I will pass on it for now. I'm quite satisfied with what Valhalla's delay can do for both my composition work as well as my mixing/mastering work. I've rarely come across a situation where that one doesn't cut it, and when that is the case, I find I need something wild which it seems like this one would not fit the bill. I will say that this one seems very easy to work with though!

make more tutorials pls

You mention you should not use delays inline. Why?

Sorry, but I need to correct you.. The "Prime Numbers" switch is used to alter the timing of the repeating signal, so that no resonance build up occurs because of feedback. This obviously means that you need a feedback value above its minimum, to be able to hear any thing it's doing. However you don't show this when talking about the effect. You just run it through a 100% wet signal and the feedback all the way down to 0%... I mean... it's an "echo machine"? of course you need to be able to hear more than one echo, when altering any parameter. it makes pretty darn good sense.. if you don't fully understand an effect whilst teaching 25000 people about that effect, just be transparent. To me, this makes me doubt anything else you say.

I'm bored, I'm still left wondering why is everyone in love with this thing

Could you start with a preview of a track and then explain how they did it with this plug in, because this video has zero context to the actual musical realm as far as established sound. So I’m lost where your actually going with this plug it.

I really wish this wasn’t just showing drums
