Why it exists
tape echo with tone and age
Digital delays repeat; tape echoes degrade — every regeneration a little warmer, darker and wobblier, which is why the dub throw and the fifties slap sound alive instead of copied.
EA-ECHO puts the tape in the loop: repeats saturate as they regenerate, TONE filters the echo path while the dry stays untouched, and AGE dials in wow and flutter from pristine to worn. Sync it to the session or run the time free and ride FEEDBACK to the edge of self-oscillation — it stays bounded, and stays musical.
In the session
- 01Nail the fifties slap in one insert.
- 02Ride FEEDBACK into a dub throw that never runs away.
- 03Age the transport until the repeats read as tape, not delay.
- 04Filter the echoes dark while the dry signal stays pristine.

Straight answers
Before you run EA-ECHO.
Which DAWs does EA-ECHO work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does EA-ECHO add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, EA-ECHO reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try EA-ECHO before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, EA-ECHO included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual EA-ECHO license includes every update to EA-ECHO; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
