how do you make a guitar sound echo for ages and then distort, for instance 36 seconds into this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPz6lAa4y-I i use reason 4 btw

put the feedback reaaaaaally high ... so the delay will overlap itself .. thats why its gonna distort on a certain moment. Put a compressor after your delay so it wont 'panic'.. automate the feedback so itll stop when you like.

sweet, how do you put the feedback really high? do you wire one of the outputs so it goes back into the mixer?

that's generally a tape echo effect, w/ tons of feedback.

send your instrument to a tape-delay emulation on a bus; route that bus' output to the mains, and send it to another bus. give that 2nd bus no output, but send it BACK to the delay in varying degrees-- it'll get out of hand really quickly but throw in some tape anomolies (wow and flutter, bandpassing, distortion) and that's the classic dub delay fx.

this is the kind shit that you tweak by hand w/ a space echo, etc, all the time, so it'll require a bunch of automation on the send level of the 2nd buss.

okay well i've done what this video has said http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj7b0esJB_o which gets me the distorted sound, but how do u make it echo? because when you do what he does you're just playing with a wall of sound rather than an echoing effect

Try TAL dub delay - it's free and produces very nice results

Oooh, just remebember to automate the feedback up and down - otherwise it'll go on forever, even when you press stop.

Oh, wait, you can't use VSt's in Reason can you? Sorry, my bad >.<

just put a delay post feedback loop...

okay cool, i have one last question tho! i've created a feedback and put a delay on it, but how do i record this feedback on reason 4? the skream distortion and delay line aren't an instrument within themselves so it doesn't come up on the sequencer window, but it still takes up a channel in the mixer. any ideas?????

I dont know about reason 4 but in reason 3 you need to create an empty sequencer track and then assign it to the effect you want to automate
