Hall Echo has a philosophy problem. Echo is technically the performers own voice arriving at the microphone slightly late having bounced off the walls and ceiling of the hall.

Yes, but you'll note that the loud segment in the middle didn't go outside the bounds of the timeline. It didn't get so big that it exceeded 1.0 (100%) up and down. That's the trick.

I know what the connections are on a W...
