Delays Delays repeat a sound a short time after it first occurs. Delay becomes echo when the output is fed back into the input (feedback). This turns a single repeat into a series of repeats, each a little softer than the last. The Studio Delay features up to 2.5 sec- onds of stereo delay and offers...
