reverse reverb effect - is there a simple way?

Post by nuperspective » Fri May 26, 2006 9:36 am

if i want to create a reverse reverb effect in live is there an easy way yo do it? heres what ive been doing.

reverse the vocal sample.
add the reverb fx.
render the audio.
load the sample back in.
reverse it one more time to put it the right way round.
add the reverb fx.
render the audio.

now you have a reverb lead in and lead out.

is there an easier way than that?

your method seems straightforward to me.

other than that, i'd say get a reel-to-reel deck which can record in reverse. :wink:

thats the way i would do it in an editor. i was wondering if there was a quicker way in live without all the rendering.

there's not a way that will give you that same sort of "preverb" effect. a reverse reverb preset in some plug-in or hardware 'verb might work but the timing obviously won't be the same.

Instead of rendering,
record or resample into an other track and drag the new clip back.
Thats less hassle than rendering.

i didnt think resampling took the fx from the channel output as well? if so thats cool.

Yeah, resampling records the whole bunch wich you actually hear over the master output, record takes only the track out, but still with fx.
What you mean is consolidate, that creates a new audiofile with all the warp info, but without fx.

just try some combinations of reverbs and delays (reversed), tweak some knobs and then you can come out with an interesting "reversed" fx.
P.S. open guitar rig, click on "search", then write : reverse... and it will give you a list of presets with that fx. :wink:

What I do is, I drown the vocal with reverb to taste. Then I resample it and reverse the new sample. And we'll that's it lol
