Reverse reverb to help sync overdubs?

[kylen]

Well apparently it's not just me who thinks this isn't a waste of time... thanks a lot for the helpful replies track rat, tmix, kylen, and the rest of you. I guess that for some kinds of music this is truly unneccessary but for other kinds it is useful.

I did the reverse reverb thing, but you still have to edit the scratch vocal track because the reverse reverb is kind of distracting on most of it. So maybe adding count-in is the most sensible thing and looks like it will do the trick.

When you mentioned the old Bues guys I finally got what you were up to - they definitely didn't worry about timing or pulse during stops/starts at all but the music still grooved.

Moving a lead-in or count-in cue around using your DAW editor sounds like the most reasonable thing to do if you're gonna do this yourself without other musicians to watch your cues and know when to come in.

Good luck !
