How to Make an Echo With Mixcraft

An echo effect repeats a portion of an audio source after a specified length of time has passed. Adding an echo effect to your Mixcraft digital audio production creates a sense of space and fullness in the music. Use a short echo time for guitars, vocals and lead synthesizers; apply a longer echo time for pads and other background elements of the track. Mixcraft includes a built-in delay effect plugin; use this effect to make an echoing sound.
