Nothing to say[edit]

Nothing really to say about this. I just think it's funny and mildly cool that there's an article about this. Carry on. 24.117.15.248 13:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it sort of surprised me too. But really, why not?--AmitTheSomthing 15:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matildamothers67 (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)==Origin== It's a curious thing that Jimmy Page claims to have invented it in '67, and it was used by The Beatles in '66. In fact, Mark Lewisohn's book on their recording sessions makes no mention of reverse echo in recording Tomorrow Never Knows. Probably that claim ought to come out of here.

So i took it out. Cheers, Lindsay 08:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

it can also be heard in stockhausen songs from the 50's —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.163.192 (talk) 14:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Beatles and the recording ... I'm Only Sleeping – reverse reverb and backwards guitar solo ... music.columbia.edu/~mando/HTML/RecordedSound2011.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matildamothers67 (talk • contribs)

Actually, no. Reverse echo is not the same as a piece of reversed music with echo already on it. The backwards guitar solo is simply that: backwards. Reverse echo is applied to forward/normally heard music. Binksternet (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To Do list[edit]

This article badly needs a sound sample of analog reverse echo. It needs more explanation comparing digital reverse echo to gated reverb as the two overlap considerably. If the digital reverse echo section is worth keeping, then the article needs a sound sample of digital reverse echo as well. There needs to be more discussion of the history and development, and of reactions from the public. Binksternet (talk) 19:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You Got The Silver?[edit]

As I listened to the Rolling Stones' album Let it Bleed and got to the track "You Got the Silver," I realized that either it's my own ears, or the electric slide guitar employs a subtle reverse echo effect. The album was released in 1969, and the song recorded in January of that year, so this could be an instance of the effect that predates "Whole Lotta Love" for a while (maybe not "Ten Little Indians," now that I review the page, but still). I just wanted to verify this - I've only heard the song on a 1980s-era CD, and it's quite possible the CD contains a newer mix than the 1969 LP, though I doubt they did serious remixing for that. Just wanted to verify.--24.90.254.182 (talk) 05:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

misuse of the term "echo"[edit]

The terms "echo" and "reverb" are often conflated, despite the fact that they are separate phenomena: an echo is a distinct repetition of an entire sound (one or more times), whereas reverb is an extended decay added to a sound, creating a "tail" beyond its natural ending. The links in the article associated with each of these words do make this distinction clear, but the rest of the original article ignored this distinction.

Therefore, the name of this article should be changed to "Reverse reverb". I have already edited the article to reflect this distinction.
