Hey folks, I have an effect in my head, but I'm looking for advice on the best way to achieve it.
The Effect: On a song I am producing there is a key word, "anger" that I want to echo about seven times. Each echo should get increasingly distorted until the seventh echo is unintelligibly saturated with distortion. I'm thinking of a kind of analog distortion, like you'd hear on a tape loop (an old Revox for my fellow geezers), but it needs to develop fully in only seven echos - much quicker than normal tape distortion. I've tried Valhalla Frequency Echo (which I love), but it doesn't distort quickly enough. I have NI Komplete and I've tried using the tape loop echo in Guitar Rig, but it doesn't distort quickly enough either, and it's too "hi-fi."
I figure I could just manually have seven iterations of the word and use automation to increase distortion from a plug in, but that'll take a lot of work and I don't think it'll produce the kind of distortion I'm thinking of - overloaded tape distortion that develops quickly, like only seven echos until it's totally distorted.
Thanks in Advance! I hope my description makes sense.
