PLEASE NOTE THIS SOFTWARE IS CPU INTENSIVE AND RUNS BEST ON NEWER DEVICES. ECHOVOX System all-in-one Echo based Real Time EVP recording system from the creator of SpiritVox. EchoVox is a real-time amplified recording system used to create a bed of random chaotic noise using random phonetics, microphone input and a natural loop recording echo. Delay time can be set from anywhere to 0-10 seconds. This means what you are hearing is the actual audio being recorded to disk in real-time, as it happens. Echo has been shown to contribute to EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) Note: The Echo is not a digital effect added to the sound. It is a loop of the actual recording. An external/BlueTooth speaker is recommended for the best results, also the louder the better. FEATURES: ECHO WITHOUT RECORDING 6 CHANNELS OF RANDOM PHONETIC AUDIO 4 SOUND BANKS.

Mic gain controls microphone input volume "Auto Blend" "Shuffle" blends across the 6 random audio channels Echo starts recording to disk. THEORY: This is the result of years of experiments in the field, it is still a work in progress. The echo is actually a chaotic loop of the chopped up vocal samples and environmental sounds. A virtual soup of sound and frequencies impossible to predict. This system has been used and tested WORLDWIDE. On live television in India and South America. Featured on televisions "Ghost Trail" and "Seekers" and more. EchoVox is simply the #1 most trusted and widely used app by both pro's and "armchair" paranormal investigators. Echovox is used by Barry Fitzgerald of TV's Ghost Hunters International and Bill Murphy of TV's Fact or Faked Paranormal files, Chris Flemming of Psychic Kids and Robb Demarest of Ghost Hunters International and other leaders in the paranormal field. EchoVox is NOT just an app, it is not a toy. It is for use by serious investigators and is not for the casual user.
