I don't know much about Space Echoes-other than Setzer makes great sounds with them. I've read several posts praising the great old tape echo tones you can get from Boss's Space Echo pedal (RE-20) but the pedal (and original) also have a reverb setting, right? How does the reverb sound. The Roland RE-201 Space Echo Tape Delay Plug-In is an emulation of Roland's famous Space Echo. Legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Portishead and Radiohead all used the original delay. The engineers at Roland spent over a year developing the RE-201 Space Echo and many producers consider it simply the best digital delay. Electric Space Guitars has been produced exclusively for Organic Loops by producer and guitarist Yuvi Gerstein. The samples were meticulously recorded using some incredible vintage gear, including the famous Roland Space Echo, Dynacord tape Echo, EHX memory man and mics such as a Coles 4038, a pair of AKG 414s.
Create 3D effects in your mix with these spacey plugins.
Have you thought about space lately? Although NASA just discovered a new solar system, I’m not talking about outer space.
I mean space when you’re mixing music!
Effects like reverb, delay, tremolo and chorus give your sound a sense of movement. They play with how listeners perceive space in your track. Use them to bring samples and recordings to life.
Think of your DAW arrangements in three dimensions. Your sounds should be placed in different spots to stand out. Should something be panned more left or right? Would something fit better if it sounded far away?
Here are 5 Free VST plugins (PC and Mac) to start shaping the space in your mix:
1. Roboverb Reverb
Roboverb is a robotic voice reverb plugin.
Reverb is one of the most effective spatial effects. Play with it to change how near or far a track sounds. Give the impression that you’re in a bigger room.
Use the ‘Room Size’ and ‘Width’ knobs on the Roboverb to change the size of the space. Try playing with the ‘Chambers’ knobs for different effects.
Download Roboverb for free here.
2. Spaceship Delay
The Spaceship Delay by Musical Entropy is a sweet delay plugin. You get lots of options and controls to play with.
Try this: get crazy with the ‘Effects’ section. Create wild combinations that I’ll sound like they’re straight out of that new solar system.

3. Acon Digital Multiply Chorus
The Acon Digital Multiply is the winner of the KVR Audio Developer Contest 2014.
It’s a chorus—it boosts the stereo effect and presence of a sound by adding one or more delayed versions of the original sound. Think of a choir!
The Acon Digital Multiply simulates up to 6 additional voices. It comes with a built in spectrum analyzer and EQ.
Widen the the stereo of your sound with the ‘Stereo Spread’ knob. Or try building wild echo effects by messing with the ‘Depth’ and ‘Voice Count’.

4. Doppler Dome
The doppler effect is the weird frequency modulation you hear when an ambulance zips by you.
And guess what? There’s a plugin that gives that effect to your sound. It’s called Doppler Dome!
This plugin lets you mess with the pitch and panning of your sound. Drag the dots to find fun combinations of effects.

5. HoRNet Harmonics
HoRNet Harmonics is a wave shaper. It lets you adjust the volume of the different harmonics of a sound.
Try removing the fundamental frequency by setting the first slider to zero—this creates a “broken record” sound.
The effect is very subtle on certain sounds, so experiment to find what you like.

Make Space
Whether you’re working on sound design for a movie or your next club banger, space is a key aspect of arranging music.
Play with space: pan some sounds, add reverb, make it echo, create chorus effects. Your mix will become more dynamic and tell a better story.
