Rick explained that the way they used to do tbfx's was much more of a process than it is now.  They used a Tape machine. Delay was achieved by manipulating distance between play and record heads. He gave us the assignment of researching echo chambers, plate reverbs, and spring reverb.  There is a lot of info on the web about these vintage sounds as well as tutorials on how to build your own for a more authentic reverb sound.  Now there are sophisticated plugins that mimic the original reverbs.  Mr. Rooney walked us through the delay  Reverb Plug ins in Protools.  He also showed us how to automate mute as a preview to the automation chapter

Homework assigment was to continue mixing session songs, adding reverb and delay to them and experimenting with mute automation.
