Audacity Forum

Echoes are not particularly magic. Your voice travels from your lips to the microphone and is processed normally. It also travels to the walls of the room and bounces back to the microphone slightly later than the direct voice. In extreme conditions, this gives you the "Echo echo echo echo"...
