	Analog Tape
		Tape echo is developed by the distance between the record and play heads on a tape deck.
		Since the tape has a certain amount of noise built in, the basic quandry is to get the signal as hot as possible (to be louder than the noise) but not distorted due to tape saturation.
		This distance between the bars depends on the frequency and tape speed, and is in fact the wavelength of the signal on the tape.

	[No title]
		Tape delay was critical part of experimental and popular electronic music until the advent of inexpensive digital delays with large memories.
		In addition, the loss of fidelity in the regeneration process of tape delay may be a desirable effect, though I imagine that the use of a low-pass filter in the feedback path of a digital delay would achieve a similar effect of gradual softening the sound into nothingness.
		Delay parameters might include delay time, clock rate, internal LFO rate, feedback gain, filtering, etc. Dynamic parameter control has compositional implications in that it changes the role of the performer from a producer of sound to a modifier of sound.

	Analog, Digital, Tape, or Modeled...What Kind of Delay Should I Buy???
		Tape delays are the “original” echo box, and the earliest models incorporate tubes and are quite collectible and expensive.
		Delay times can be widely adjusted and the reproduction of the echo from the delay itself tends to be quite good.
		In this application, the tape delay is certainly the most organic-sounding of all delays and for those interested in listening to these types of effects “accidentally” mixed into their music, the tape delay does it best.

	Modern Recording Overview of Xovers
		The sound signal was recorded on tape and then immediately played back to provide a copy of the original signal delayed by the amount of time it took the tape to travel from the record head of the recorder to the playback head.
		In the case of tape delay units the audio quality of the echo is simply the same as that for a signal passing through the record/play chain once.
		Tape machines, on the other hand, utilize intricate electromechanical systems with many moving parts (and attendant wear) and require that their heads be cleaned routinely and the tape periodically replaced.

	Harmony Central®: Effects Explained: Delay
		The multi-tap delay could be generalized even further, by allowing feedback from the tap outputs to the beginning of the delay line as well.
		The delay is the amount of time it takes the recorded signal to travel from the recording head to the playback head.
		Delays of this type can be adjusted by changing either the tape speed, or the position of the recording and playback heads.

		Delay is similar to reverb, but the properties by which it is controlled are different resulting in a completely different effect.
		Delay has a couple of uses in music today, but the one we are going to look at here is the use of delay for sound enhancement.
		Tape delay units were usually large yet portable tape recorders that incorporated a recording head and a playback head.

	Definition of Tape delay
		Tape delay, also often referred to as analog delay, is an audio effect whereby an echo can be introduced to an audio signal by mixing it with a delayed version of itself.
		Mixing the input with its delayed version and then feeding this signal back into the delay, however, creates an adjustable echo effect whereby the number of echos can be varied between one echo (no feedback) and an infinite number of echos (unity feedback) according to the feedback setting.
		The effect was popular in many genres of music, but since the introduction of the much cheaper and more reliable digital delay units in the 1980s, it has found a niche in the genres of techno and dub where it is sought after due to its quirky performance and analog properties.

	tape recorder delay effects \| MIDI delay, digital audio delay
		Delay is one of the most popular effects produced by tape recorders, and has been used on countless recordings since the 1950s.
		If, however, you create just one delay, and the notes are allowed to sustain, the synthesizer must play twice as many notes (the original and the delayed copy), halving its polyphony.
		A primary advantage of MIDI delay is visual feedback: younger students better understand how delay works when they can see the delay track and control the track volume and placement the same way they control other tracks.

	Sonitus tips--Sonitus Delay
		The first uses of delay effects required tape machines and were done by mixing a tape delayed version of the original signal back into the song (and you had to walk five miles uphill both ways in the snow to do it!).
		Delay times were set by increasing or decreasing the distance between the record and play back heads.
		The Sonitus Delay will put the proper tempo in to the BPM box and the left and right delay times will be set to equal a quarter note repeat (meaning the original signal will be delayed exactly the length of a quarter note before being repeated).

	VINTAGE ADVANTAGE
		Tape phasing, commonly known as tape flanging, is a unique effect, and though some digital flangers have managed to approximate it, I've yet to hear a truly convincing emulation.
		As the relative delay between the two tapes changes and finally passes through zero, the familiar whooshing effect is created as the comb filter sweeps through different frequencies in the source material.
		Not so with analogue tape -- the necessary frequencies are all there, but because of phase shifts in the electronic and magnetic components of the system, their time relationship is disturbed, which is why the waveform looks very different to the original.

	PerformerMag : Services : Sound Principles: Digital v Tape Delay
		In some cases, people even set up rollers on top of mic stands to artificially extend the tape path between the record and repro heads on a single machine, allowing for very long tape delay loops.
		Tape was not the only way to delay signals in the early studio.
		This causes the pitch of the echoes to be slightly higher or lower than the direct sound’s pitch, and mixed with the direct sound, it provides a rich, fat, and perhaps swooshing effect to the sound.

		Tape delays are fairly difficult to get ahold of today (try Ebay if you're serious), and will fetch around $200 to $300 for an Echoplex or Space Echo.

		NEW YORK — After talks about slapping a tape delay on the entertainment segments of this year's Super Bowl broadcast, the National Football League on Thursday agreed with Fox to let the programming air live.
		Such a delay allows sound and/or video to be deleted before it airs and would have applied to the pregame entertainment as well as the halftime show, according to NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy.
		Inserting a delay in the Super Bowl halftime could avoid embarrassment, says Robert Thompson, professor of TV and pop culture at Syracuse University.

		The analog delay type has a very "dark" sound due to the low sampling rate and sharp filters used to save analog memory.

		The use of delays is one of the oldest techniques for effects processing and electro-acoustic composition[1].
		Another process involving tape recordings is the use of tape loops, which could be used to infinitely repeat a sound or phrase.
		Of course, many of the effects obtained with very short delay times, such as reverb or filtering, are usually also implemented in the same hardware, but it can be very interesting to combine all these with longer delay-time effects; it would be necessary to use several processors connected together to do this.

		Delays are often used to create echo effects, where a particular signal may repeat several times, with each repeat being lower in level than the prior one.
		This application goes back many years to a time when delays were only able to be accomplished with tape recorders (see WFTD Tape Delay).
		Delay technology is at the core of most time based effects such as flangers, chorus units etc. They have also been widely used in broadcast applications over the years to provide a few seconds of delay to "live" broadcasts.

		time delay was generated by feeding the signal from the playback head of a multi-head tape recorder to its own record head.
		One machine is used to provide a feed of tape with the second machine used to gather the tape onto its take-up reel.
		The signal from this playback head is also returned to the record head of the first machine resulting in a delayed repeat ofthe signal when it passes again over the playback head of the second machine.
