Well I for one think you did a fine job.

The echo on Joe's guitar is more reminiscent of a classic analog tape, regenerative echo on the order of 81 to 100 ms with a little regeneration to make the echo repeat a few times. It's also high and low pass filtered to narrow the bandwidth of the echo.

What I found most fascinating is that your example is as Monophonic as You Tube. Your example is not on You Tube and should be in stereo. You Tube is not in stereo, for anything. It's a shame. Bunch of morons if you ask me! What don't they understand about stereo sound with pictures? Disney has been doing it since the 1930s! And saving bandwidth is a lousy excuse. To me, it makes You Tube almost worthless.

LOL, I have the real song on my itunes, but not really sure what you mean by monophonic as such I hear the difference between itunes and youtube but not sure how I fix such an issue in nuendo. I have some things panned slightly L and others slightly R. Just not extremely.

Hmm, I'm also wondering how do you high and low pass filter on just the delay? Or are you referring to the guitar melody as a whole?

If your delay plugin doesn't have HPF/LPF built in, well, you're stuck for adding that and I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you know any freeware good quality delay plugins (vsti).. or cheap ones on the market ? I have to worry, i want to get it as exact as possible :P

those old analog delays
especially the stomp boxes
use a (BB) Bucket Brigade method

as Remy said
have a limited frequency response
and tend to distort

the distortion gets worse for each repeat

and that timing of "81 to 100 ms" can be less than stable with each repeat/regeneration coming quicker ... (the delay gets shorter)
at least I think that what happens

it's all part of what makes those analog delays different from the digital delays

a bit like analog synths in that
it's what they get wrong that makes them cool

I don't quite follow with the regeneration stuff..not sure what you mean by it.

Do you mean like a delay... then a second delay comes in slightly quicker after the first delay?

so like:
source ............delay...delay

With the gaps between the words = ms amount ?

So is it not really possible to mimic the delay digitally as similiar to Joe's method there must be a decent digital plugin that can mimic that analog delay ?

Kjaerhus Classic Delay. Analogue delay emulation. HPF/LPF a generally good all around delay plug. Not awesome but good for the price.

Thankyou hueseph.

How do you guys hear the difference between these delays, its quite brilliant how you can hear it. I would not have a clue.

yes

simple digital delay
source..........delay..........delay..........delay

analog BB delay
source..........delay[color].......delay[color]....delay[color]

I can't get the clor thing to work
I wanted the colors to show the more distorted delays

so without colors

analog BB delay
source..........delay.......delay....delay

I think I remember reading about a Plug for the Tel-Ray and it might be ok

source..........delay.......delay....delay

You forgot the / in the

d'oh

I see! I can hear it slightly now that I know what im listening for. Thanks for the help! :)

KVRAudio (not to plug (not intending a pun) the site, but it) has stashes of plugins in their database. Set to free, commercial, whatever (use the advanced search).
Also, effects are VSTs, a VSTi is a virtual instrument.

Argh thankyou for the infomation! :)
