How do you get that Cyndi Lauper "woop" delay?

You know the delay...about 1:00 in....I've tried a ping pong delay as well as different timings of stereo delay. I left it dry

EDIT: I remixed it a little less harsh and added the delay I think matches the original

The PCM41 was always good for echos back in the day.

Great job on the tune. Sounds like a live take and if it is even more respect. It's a little grainy not sure if that's a recording or mic issue. I like the echos that you did choose to put in your production, timing is good there. :cool:
 
Yeah sorry, I'm all trying to master the crap out of everything, a couple even sound decent, unfortunately this one not so much...on laptops especially.
 
Lol. You gotta be kidding me. :D

I haven't even thought of this song in 20 years.

Just listened to the original. Sounds just like a simple timed delay with quick decay. Shouldn't be hard to do.

Your mix sounds ultra-squashed. Maybe you want it that way. I think it would sound better with some natural dynamics. Good performance and take on a dorky song. :D
 
"Remastered" it and added what I think is a close match to the delay..what do you think?
 
Nah, don't ping-pong it. Just keep it mono.

The guitar is what sounds super-compressed. Did you mic it, or is it one of those plug-in jobs recorded direct?
 
Better - the sound is clearer now...and that echo on the "woop" works.....:)
 
Plug in, I only have one decent mic and was going live...I can redub the guitar I guess.
 
On second though, I won't be redubing the guitar...my click track is off due to a sample rate issue, so for a cover it's too much of a hassle
