Ableton Forum

First off, I'm brand new to ableton so this might be an overly basic question. However, I've searched hours on how to do this on google and on these forums and the answers are also simplified as in "make a clap and then reverse it". I'm trying to make the "whoooosh" sound going into a clap, for a dubstep or other electronic beat. I can't find any reverse button. I found a reverse 1-bar audio effect, but can't figure out how to actually use it or make a clip with the sound I'm looking for. Can anyone give a beginner some help breaking this down? Much thanks,

if you load a clap sample into an audio track, you`ll find a reverse button in the clip-view. For the whoosh-part find a synth with a noise generator and sweep through the noise with the low-pass filter.

just drag a sample onto your track. Duplicate the sample. Drag the duplicated sample, before your original sample. double click the duplicated sample.

click the reverse button in the audio properties window. Now both regions should look something like mirror images

take the reverse sample, and chop the loud part off, then crop the clip and drag it closer to the original clap. walah.

But if you want to do it EXTRA good. You would
drag the clap sample on your audio track.
Then duplicate the Track.
Then on your duplicated track, add a reverb and reverse the audio sample.
Then add another track which records only the audio from the duplicated track
Record the reverse clap and the "tail" of reverb.
once finished, reverse the newly recorded clip. Bam a more awesome reverse clap.

That helps, I got the reverse sound now, but how would I get it all to line up on the 2 & 4, or put it in a sequencer with another beat. In other words, I just have the reverse sound as a clip in and of itself, not part of anything. Also, what do you mean put the duplicated clip "next to" the original.

drag the clip with the clap (aka the clapclip ) into an empty slot of a drum rack.

Im a serious newb! I can't drag it into an empty slot under a drum rack. It gives me a circle with a slash as if I can't drop it there.
