At your risk.
For example a vocal track added to the same delayed vocal track.
I am not sure but a possible example could be Time - The Alan Parsons Project
A similar effect can be heard by reproducing in mono a vocal in a room using 2 loudspeakers, one near to us and the other a few meters away.
A similar effect can be heard when we sing live on a microphone. We hear our voice plus the reproduced one at the PA loudspeaker. The sound wave coming from the loudspeaker arrive at our ears latter as this wave has a greater distance to travel than the wave from our mouth, or our bones to our hearing mechanism.
Echo chambers, an EMT, or even a spring reverb do ADT too by default. Why? Because it takes time for sound to travel between loudspeaker to microphone. And some times tape delay was or is used to send signal to the loudspeaker (pre delay).
A possible reason for great engineers such as Al Schmitt saying that they were using mic leakage to good effect may be this. In time domain a delay creates space in our mind perception.
