UA Roland RE-201 Space Echo Tape Delay Plugin As mentioned at the top, the original hardware Roland RE-201 Space Echo pretty much sums up the romance of pre-digital delay – this is highlighted by the fact that many software delay plugins (including many in this list) still feature their own take on the Space Echo sound, whether they are. Introduced in 1974, the Roland Space Echo RE-201 was an instant hit among engineers, guitar players, and dub pioneers. A real analog system providing both tape echo and spring reverb for a rich and organic sound. Dubb Box is a virtual tape delay, loosely modelled on my venerable Roland Space Echo. Does a fairly good job of emulating the tape saturation, unpredictability and wild self-oscillation of the real deal. Features main echo and 'second-tapehead' sub-echoes, as well as adjustable vintageness (tape hiss, motor inertia, tape and motor age).

Create 3D effects in your mix with these spacey plugins.
Have you thought about space lately? Although NASA just discovered a new solar system, I’m not talking about outer space.
I mean space when you’re mixing music!
Effects like reverb, delay, tremolo and chorus give your sound a sense of movement. They play with how listeners perceive space in your track. Use them to bring samples and recordings to life.
Think of your DAW arrangements in three dimensions. Your sounds should be placed in different spots to stand out. Should something be panned more left or right? Would something fit better if it sounded far away?
Here are 5 Free VST plugins (PC and Mac) to start shaping the space in your mix:
1. Roboverb Reverb
Roboverb is a robotic voice reverb plugin.
Reverb is one of the most effective spatial effects. Play with it to change how near or far a track sounds. Give the impression that you’re in a bigger room.
Use the ‘Room Size’ and ‘Width’ knobs on the Roboverb to change the size of the space. Try playing with the ‘Chambers’ knobs for different effects.
Download Roboverb for free here.
2. Spaceship Delay
The Spaceship Delay by Musical Entropy is a sweet delay plugin. You get lots of options and controls to play with.
Try this: get crazy with the ‘Effects’ section. Create wild combinations that I’ll sound like they’re straight out of that new solar system.

3. Acon Digital Multiply Chorus
The Acon Digital Multiply is the winner of the KVR Audio Developer Contest 2014.
It’s a chorus—it boosts the stereo effect and presence of a sound by adding one or more delayed versions of the original sound. Think of a choir!
The Acon Digital Multiply simulates up to 6 additional voices. It comes with a built in spectrum analyzer and EQ.
Widen the the stereo of your sound with the ‘Stereo Spread’ knob. Or try building wild echo effects by messing with the ‘Depth’ and ‘Voice Count’.

4. Doppler Dome
The doppler effect is the weird frequency modulation you hear when an ambulance zips by you.
And guess what? There’s a plugin that gives that effect to your sound. It’s called Doppler Dome!
This plugin lets you mess with the pitch and panning of your sound. Drag the dots to find fun combinations of effects.

5. HoRNet Harmonics
HoRNet Harmonics is a wave shaper. It lets you adjust the volume of the different harmonics of a sound.
Try removing the fundamental frequency by setting the first slider to zero—this creates a “broken record” sound.
The effect is very subtle on certain sounds, so experiment to find what you like.
