What Is Audio Echo Effect?
The Audio Echo Effect adds customizable echo (delay) to any audio file. An echo repeats the audio signal after a specified delay time, with each repetition becoming quieter based on the feedback amount. Control the delay time (how long between repetitions), feedback (how many times the echo repeats), and wet/dry mix (blend between original and echo signal). Uses the Web Audio API's DelayNode and GainNode for clean, precise echo effects. Musicians and sound designers use these controls to add spatial depth to vocals, create rhythmic patterns, or design atmospheric textures.

Common Use Cases
Vocal Effects
Add depth and space to vocal recordings with subtle echo.
Music Production
Create rhythmic delay effects on instruments and beats.
Sound Design
Design spacious atmospheric soundscapes with long echo tails.
Creative Effects
Produce unique audio effects for videos, games, and podcasts.
Technical Guide
The echo effect uses a feedback delay network built with the Web Audio API. A DelayNode is configured with the user-specified delay time (0.1 to 2.0 seconds). The feedback loop is created by connecting the delay output through a GainNode (feedback amount, 0-0.9) back to the delay input. The wet/dry mix is implemented with two GainNodes: one for the dry (original) signal and one for the wet (delayed) signal, whose gains sum to 1.0. The complete graph is: source → dryGain → merger, and source → delay → feedbackGain → delay, delay → wetGain → merger. An OfflineAudioContext renders the full audio with sufficient extra length to capture the echo tail (duration + delay * repetitions). The output is encoded as WAV.
Tips & Best Practices
-
1Short delays (50-100ms) create a "slapback" effect popular in rockabilly and surf music
-
2Long delays (300-500ms) create distinct, rhythmic echo patterns
-
3Keep feedback below 0.7 to avoid infinite echo buildup
-
4Use low wet mix (20-30%) for subtle depth, higher for dramatic effects
