Similar to the time distance of an Elvis style slapback vocal echo. Less than ~40ms and it’s not perceived as a distinct sound, more than ~120 ms and it starts to sound obvious like a reggae dub echo. Same sound perception time constants show up all over audio recording.
- jerf 8y agoI did not know exactly what Elvis-style slapback echo is, so here's the fruit of my moments of poking around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuStmPbG528 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuStmPbG528 About 1:30 long.

- bsder 8y agoIt's generically echo or delay. Normally, it's called slapback when it's used for "rockabilly" (yes, basically sounding like Elvis--specifically his guitarist Scotty Moore). People emulating Brian Setzer is the more modern thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PY4CSScCKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PY4CSScCKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW54TX4Pwl8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW54TX4Pwl8
