but all the other instruments would have different levels of slap, due to bleed.


What u mean by this ? how would the other instruments have different slap levels from the bleed?

IS the Echosonic Tape or Wire delay? to get that slap echo?


I heard at "Sun" recording they used "Channel echo"? i guess its like a ping pong from left to right and right to left to get a really short delay to make it slap echo but how did this work?

How would i channel echo?

Try this:

Get an old Reel to Reel that works. Just a cheapo used one like an old Sansui.

Plug the output of one channel into the Input of the other one.
Then connect the open input and output to your effects send.

There you go.

You could probably use a cassette deck to do this as well.

The last time I slapped a hillbilly he put me in a world of hurt.
 
I watched a doco on Sun Studios & the old engineer, or it may have been sam Philips himself, said they just ran the signal through to another tape machine & back again. The delay from record head to play head across the cable to record head to play head and across another cable to record head was all there was to it.
Mind you they could've been winding up people like me.
Or I could be winding you up.

Walters ,this forum can help you with your question.

http://www.autismforum.net/

People dont like answering you because you ask questions that defy logic in a language that noone but you understands. Do you read audio books like Mastering AUdio or The Handbook of Recording Engineering, or The Sound Reinforcement handbook?? So what do you do for a living?? Do you have to interact with people daily??? I am really curious. At first glance you seem like a troll that gets kicks out iof riling people up. I dont know really.. :confused:

go live in the mountains for a year and when you eventualy meet a human you´ll be so glad that you´ll greet them with a hearty slap on their back then listen closely as the sound is bounced from mountain to mountain ,you can vary this effect with the hieght and spacing between the mountains you perform this operation but beware of any thing under 100hz if youre working with snow caps cause in can result in an avalanche effect which may be desireable with heavier music but can spoil that classic rockabilly feel
