EchoLive

Version reviewed: latest on Windows
I added echolive to my already stacked up and near power limit rack of vstis that i use live on my laptop and ive been using it almost half a year thru about 100 shows now and its behaved very well, no crashes and no hiccups. i run at 64 samples latency and 48k.
getting right to the fun part the tap tempo works great. just exactly as youd expect a hardware tap tempo delay to work and i found it pretty easy to match up to a live drummer. in fact the first time i used it live it lined up great and was quite fun.
it reminds me a lot of my old echoplex and behaves in somewhat the same way with a fairly similar sound.
gui isnt exactly sexy but i do like the blacklight green on a dark stage, that looks nice. controls are laid out fine and its easy to program what you want.
feedback knob might be a little touchy at the point of overload, seems like its goes overloading way too fast when you move the knob one pixel and it would be nice to have a smoother transition here for bringing things to overload and then back again subtly. still others might like it just fine how it is now.
but really i grabbed it because of the tap tempo function and i did not think it would be as nicely done as it is, very impressive.Read Review
