Tiny Stonehenge Moment
Hi, a short while ago in the MP3 clinic, I posted a song that had a reverse reverb effect on the drum intro and lead vocal. It's a strange effect with a disquieting feel to it, so is not for everybody, but I've had a couple of requests as to how it's done so I thought I'd share.
This is how the effect sounds:
And this is how to do it in Reaper:
1. duplicate the track you want to add the effect to.
2. Select track and under "Items" Select "Reverse track as new take".
3. Add a big reverb plugin of your choice to the track, 100% wet.
4. Under "Items" select "Apply track/take FX to items as new take".
5. Under "Items" select "Reverse track as new take".
6. Remove the reverb plugin from the track.
7. Under "Items" select "Glue Items within time selection" or "Crop to active take" (thanks ashcat_lt). This gets rid of the other take lanes on the track and cleans the whole thing up.
Have fun.
