Reverse Reverb Effect

Reverse Reverb Effect is the effect that you hear before a vocal or riff starts in a tune that sounds like a sucking sound. This effect is easy to create using your current sequencer and audio editor.

First, you need to open your sequencer, and write your catchy riff or record your vocal sample. You can listen to your riff/vocal with Reverb and Delay whilst writing it if you like, but make sure it isn't applied permanently. Once you are happy with it, export the riff/vocals without the effects into a wave file.

Next, you need to load the sample you have created into an audio editor, then using the tools available, reverse the sample so that it is playing backwards. Save this sample with a new name, such as vocalbackwards.wav. Load this sample into your sequencer, then load up your delay and reverb plugins and choose the settings you will be using in the track. Turn the knob in the reverb plugin so that its 100% wet. Now, save the reversed riff/vocals WITH the effects and make sure that the trailing echo is also saved into the wave file, save the file as something like vocalbackwardseffect.

Now, load the new sample into your audio editor, and flip it so that its playing the correct way again. Now you can hear the sucking reverse reverb sound at the beginning. But you don't want the rest of the riff/vocal as there is too much effects on it. So, snip of the rest of the track using the tools available, making sure that you have the sucking sound without the rest of the riff/vocals. Now save it as something like reversereverbvocal.wav.

Now you can load it into your sequencer and place it into your track before your vocal/riff to give your track that extra something.

do they make guitar effects pedals with reverb, delay, flanger, and chorus settings all in one pedal? ?

Lexicon PCM92 Reverb Effects Processor $1799.95 This powerhouse Lexicon reverb uses the latest DSP technology and the finest collection of classic Lexicon algorithms to offer the ultimate audio processor for live sound and studio applications. With over four decades of experience, Lexicon is regarded as a standard in digital audio processing. Building on the similar design and technology of many Lexicon products, the PCM92 is one of the most advanced reverb and effects processors in its class.The rackmount Lexicon PCM92 reverb delivers 28 mono and stereo reverbs, delays, and modulation effects, flexible routing configurations, and a comprehensive collection of over 1200 finely crafted presets, including recognizable classics from an immense library of sounds.The Lexicon reverb features Hall, Concert Hall and Random Hall reverb algorithms that are consistently used by live sound and recording engineers because of their ability to reproduce the musical ambiance of large, wide, panoramically wonderful spaces. In fact, these classic Lexicon Hall algorithms have been used on more than 80% of all recorded music.Lexicon's Room algorithm offers an amazing palette of natural sounding rooms with all the inherent realism of the actual space. Reflection patterns are easily selected, scaled, and equalized all while simultaneously passing audio and the room size can be instantly changed or reversed. These capabilities provide a more flexible alternative to convolution type reverbs due to the precise control and manipulation that is only possible with a reverb synthesizer.One of the advances in this Lexicon reverb is the ability to create realistic small spaces. For both music and film production, it is often vital to have the ambience of a phone booth or very small drum room. In the Lexicon PCM92 you can create them with a reality never heard before from any processor other than a Lexicon.In addition, the PCM92 effect processor delivers capabilities to traditional reverbs by adding multimode filters in the audio flow. This allows more exact shaping of the reverb while still maintaining that distinctive smooth, rich "Lexicon Sound." Also, all reverbs have an "Infinite" switch that allows the reverb to run forever, which is useful for creating unusual backgrounds and sound effects.
