The following is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to create a reverse reverb build-up on a vocal track.<\/p>\n<h5>Reverse the Vocals<\/h5>\n<p>Reverse echo operates specifically on reversed audio tracks. This means you&#8217;ll have to reverse your selected audio in whichever DAW you use. Luckily, reversing is a non-destructive edit, which means you can undo it later. If you&#8217;re extra fastidious, you can always duplicate the audio you&#8217;ll be reversing so you have an original copy handy.<\/p>\n<h5>Add Reverb to the Reversed Audio<\/h5>\n<p>The next step is apply reverb to the reversed audio. For maximum &#8220;otherworldliness,&#8221; you&#8217;ll probably want a very long decay time; somewhere between 2 and 5 seconds should be fun to play with. Dialing in the decay time is important, though. If it&#8217;s too long, the fade-in will be too slow; too short, and the build-up is too fast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41278 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/What-is-Reverse-Reverb-Should-I-Be-Using-It_4.png\" alt=\"What is Reverse Reverb?

Also, make sure that the signal is 100% wet. For this effect, none of the dry signal should be audible.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry about using a send for this. You can place the reverb plugin directly on the audio track you&#8217;re effecting.<\/p>\n<h5>Print the Reversed Reverb<\/h5>\n<p>You&#8217;ll now want to print your reversed vocal track with the reverb applied. This means creating a bus and an additional audio track.<\/p>\n<p>Route the reversed track with reverb to the new bus and output the bus to the new audio track. Record arm the audio track receiving the bus&#8217;s output and hit record. You&#8217;ll now have a recording of the reversed vocals with reverb on them as a brand new audio file.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you can go back and un-reverse the original vocal and remove the reverb plugin, so you&#8217;re left with the unaffected dry vocal and the reversed\/reverberated vocal.<\/p>\n<h5>Reverse the Reverb<\/h5>\n<p>Ok, so we&#8217;re not quite there yet. We have the printed reversed vocal with reverb, and now it&#8217;s time to reverse the\u00a0<em>reverb itself<\/em>. We&#8217;ve already done this in step one&#8212;select the freshly printed wet track and reverse it once more. Now, we have true reverse reverb!<\/p>\n<h5>Edit and Place the New Clip<\/h5>\n<p>From here, it&#8217;s a matter of editing to taste. Depending on the overall effect you&#8217;re going for, you may trim the clip to just include the lead-in to the first word of phrase of the vocal line. This is probably one of the most common ways to use the effect as a build-up to a big vocal drop.<\/p>\n<p>You should line up the last transient of the reverse reverb with the first transient of the vocal line you&#8217;re building up to.<\/p>\n<h5>EQ the Reverse Reverb<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41280 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/What-is-Reverse-Reverb-Should-I-Be-Using-It_5.png\" alt=\"What is Reverse Reverb?

I tend to religiously band-pass my time-based effects, getting rid of unwanted highs and lows. Depending on your song and desired results, experiment until you&#8217;ve found what works for you!<\/p>\n<h4>Experiment with Reverse Reverb<\/h4>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve understood how it&#8217;s made, you can get super clever with it! It works beautifully as a lead-in but isn&#8217;t just reserved for vocals.<\/p>\n<p>Try it as an introduction to a new guitar or drum part. Try chopping up a very short portion of it and layering it underneath the instrumental for added movement and excitement&#8212;this works especially well for four-on-the-four electronic music.
