Weird backwards fade-in trick...

[tubedude]

I've seen people ask about this from time to time, and I have a method of doing it that works for me and is editable.
If his is what you are talking about
----> HERE <----

I"ll be back shortly to go into how I do it, and maybe anyone else will add thier own methods afterwards....

Ok, 1st thing I did was make a quick 5 second audio file saying "I think this is a cool effect" in Sonar 2... Simply bring up a clip of the audio you want to process and cut it down to where only the 1st word or sound is there.
Next, I added a lush cathedral reverb (just for this purpose, a less lush but long reverb works better because it doesnt cloud the fade in quite so much like this one did.)
I did this in about 4 minutes, by the way. So its pretty quick and easy.
Anyway, after adding the reverb to the audio clip, I bounced it down to a stereo track with the reverb tail.
Next I reversed it, and moved it over the top of the original track that I wanted to fade, and lined them up where it didnt pop too bad (its very easy to do a much better job than this, this was a quick sample)
Then, after hearing my own voice on here, which I hate, I decided to manipulate the whole thing a little so no one would hear how crappy I sound, so I added Waves 3 Voice harmonizer on a setting called Bizzaro or something like that.
This way, you can edit it how you want it and keep trying different things.
I dunno, it works for me, should work for you.
Anyone else have good ways to do it?

Well damn, try this one instead then, and then click on the one called "sample"
Here it is right here

I usually reverse the track before I add the reverb, then I add the reverb and reverse the track back again. Basically the same thing, just a little different.

Dig, I'll try that out here in a minute, might work even better.

Didn't you have to duplicate the word "I" a bunch of times before adding the reverb? Seems like it's long, even with the Cathedral reverb. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would have been a lot more complicated to pull it off. Thanks for the tip!

What I've done is to run the track in question through a reverse reverb 100% wet and record that to a new track. I then slide it back a little so it's early and mix that with the dry vocal.

Nope, I actually slip edited and faded in the reverb tail because it was way too long. Thats about half of it. Only one "I" going though the reverb. Probably more like about 2/3 of an "I".

a better "i" with the aforementioned effect can be found on the smashing pumpkins siamese dream album...on the song titled "silverf*ck".

Sounds like you guys are getting pretty technical with it..i've always just reversed, added reverb, and reversed again like someone said above.

BT does a lot of that type of stuff, and pulls it off very well. Check out "Never Gonna Come Back Down". It's one of the least-sterile sounding techno tunes I've heard (IMO). I'd love to put something like that together (one of these days)
