How can I make my delay last longer?

Just wondering how I could make my delay echoes last longer. I hear real long echoes in some of my fave tracks. I have been just slicing up the sound and repeating it while fading out the volume but I wondered if there is an easier way.

Thanks!

Um. Increase the delay time? Increase the feedback amount?

I've tried that. I've tried increasing the feedback volume and all that does is make the feedback sound jump out above the volume of the original sound. Increasing the delay time - what do you mean? The 'time' function on the delay just usually spaces out the delays and does not increase the number of repetitions.

not the feedback volume. just turn up the feedback, feedback is how long the delay lasts.

I'll try messing with is some more. I'll probably have to automate the delay volume because increasing the feedback volume makes the feedback jump out above the original sound.
I'll mess around some more but I may just have to keep chopping the sounds up to get what I want.

The delay I use does not have just a feedback knob. It only has feedback volume. If you know of a delay VST I could try instead, let me know.

Try using compression ontop of the delay as well.
That can help extend it a bit.

i was about to suggest that as well.

if its a one shot sample then i suppose u could just play it in the step sequencer and add some reverb to it along with delay and compression

id stack the effects like this:

fruity reeverb - to take the emphasis off that ur playing the same sample over and over again
fruity delay - general effect ur trying to achieve
fruity compressor - maximise the delay a bit

Like others have said, simply increase the feedback vol. Turn it all the way up and your echo will last forever. Check out 3DDelays VST. Its my favorite delay plugin.

Automation of the send and return levels is key. You can as has been said compress, also use EQ to emphasise certain frequencies.. But be careful

I know what you mean. When you want a longer delay tail you increase the feedback but you also limit the amount of delay. That way the decay of the echoes will be smoother versus a louder echo each time. Try playing with the levels of delay and feedback. You could also try the various types like ping pong and stereo wideness.
