Real easy... look at your Vegas timeline, along any audio track. On the left are the controls for that track, including a bunch of little icons, some sliders, the track number, etc.

Look for a little icon that looks like a wire going to a box going to a wire... if you hover over it, you'll see "Track FX..." displayed. That will pop up the audio plug-in menu, which is where you get plug-ins that are applied in realtime (non-destructively) to your audio track. There may be a few default plug-ins shown... anything checked will be in the plug-in chain, anything unchecked will be taken out of the plug-in chain.

Find that plug-in icon on the Audio Plug-In dialog, and click it. That will pop up a whole menu of available plug-ins. You can get echo with either a delay or a reverb plug-in, but delays (designed for longer echos) are usually better. I have an insane number of plug-ins on my system from a variety of vendors... this is a Windows standard, so you may have some that didn't come from Sony, and should work fine.

I see I have listed "ExpressFX Delay" and "Simple Delay" from Sony... I don't know what the demo installs, but these look to be standard with at least some version of Vegas. Click on the plug-in to add it to the chain, close the selector when you're done.

Back at the Audio Plug-In dialog, if you click on a plug-in in the chain, you get that plug-in's set-up panel. The "Simple Delay" plug-in lets you set the mix between dry (original siginal) and delay on the output, as well as the delay time... pretty simple. There are presets like "Grand Canyon" and "Echo chamber". I try something that looks close, then play with it until I get the sound I want.

That should do it.. you can play audio with this panel still up, and experiment with the settings live, switch it in and out, etc.

Wow that's a long post. XD
