this was the first video of yours i ever watched and i have been continuing for the past few months. i'm now reading your ebook and savoring every minute of it. i am so thankful for people like you who share their knowledge when it comes to music and don't act like snobs. you're the best and please keep up the good work.

Back in the 80's I played through a reverb pedal made by Vesta fire. I have looked all over to try to buy one of these pedals with no luck. It had a reverse reverb setting on it that sounded just crazy!

I've used this technique with echoes as well (it opens our song "Return of The King") I call it "Pre-echo" and it is a great way to embellish a hook when used sparingly.

My Uncle was in a band at Uni and told me that when they used to record on tapes they had to 'bounce' their mixes across. I hadn't heard the term used outside of computer-mixing, and asked what it meant. He said it meant putting two stereos next to each other, with one playing and one recording, and recording a track from one on to the other.

holy crap, ive heard this effect so much in dance music and ive tried to recreate it so many times, but now i can finally do it properly!! thank you so much mate!!!

What's even more fun is to kill the dry signal and then mix what you come up with back on top of the original file, but turn it down and offset it so it appears to be reverb from the original track, but it's something completely different if you listen closer

Ha! ... 5 years of producing and I'm only just learning this now.. Before learning this I've taken the root of using the "blur" feature in edison.. this way seems a LOT quicker and seems to have a lot more control.. Excellent vid!

With a non-destructive editor you need to "bake" the reversed/reverbed track first before reversing it again. That's what David meant by "bouncing down" in this video -- it creates a new track with the reverb effect "baked in" rather than remaining a track effect.

I just stumbled across your video. I always wondered how they did this! Most notably Tool use it a lot on the vocals. Adds an errie kind of effect... I can hear it a lot in movies too. Thanks for the tip.. it's so easy too!!

thanks for sharing this, ive been trying to figure this out for a while now. turns out i was just over thinking it. simple technique, but a powerful one.

Great tip/trick again David. I look forward to your next vid! Keep up the great work my friend, I really appreciate it.

This was one of the best youtube experiences by far!...

George Martin used it for the Beatles in 1965 for Revolver , that's one of the reasons why they stopped tourring , because at the time it was impossible to recreate live .

"Your God" from Stone Sour stars with this very effect on Corey's vocals. nice.

In Logic, when you "bounce", you covert MIDI data or other audio data routed to the master outputs into one file/track (ie. MP3, WAV etc) :)

man that's cool. i know the sound and it never occurred to me where it came from. awesome info.

You are very generous man. God bless you. Keep up the great work.

The Closed Captions for this is absolutely hilarious.

man, I was looking for this for ages. I dont have your programs but I guess I can do this as well now. Thanks for your tut.

GOOD JOB IT HELPED ALOT I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS WHAT A REVERB DOES NOW I KNOW THANKYOU I WILL STAY TUNED!

THANK YOU ! I was looking everywhere how to make that particular sound ! Keep up the good work ! ;)

thank you so much for this, really helpful, i think ive heard that effect on a snare before, gonna try it out in FL now :) thx again!

@LostInNumbersMusic Thanks for the definition there . Sometimes I need to explain in more detail for beginners who are missing the basics. Teaching is something I'm still figuring out

This is really cool!!! I've always wanted to use an effect like this, but didn't know how nor what it was called! Thank you!!!!I use Garageband, which doesn't allow the reversal of a track, so I have to export to Audacity then send it back to Garageband.

@DavidCamposComposer No worries, you did a good job teaching how to create reverse reverb. Sometimes people commenting on KZfaq think they know a lot about something when they clearly don't and criticize the uploader. Good job on the videos and thanks for the request!

I too didn't know till i just googled it. It means to render/convert. It's the LOGIC term of of exactly that.

ha i just did that yesterday to one of my tracks then i watched this! Its cool for the bass drums too gives in a nice shove forward.

dude thank you so much! i have been trying to figure this out ever since ive been producing!!!!

Thanks for much for posting this video....This is something I wanted to do when I first heard it (Gravediggaz used it) but couldn't explain what the effect was!

Thank you so much!! Been trying to figure this effect's name and tutorial for quiet some time =_=

Very well explained. Useful and simple... Thanks a lot

reminds me when there's that sweet exorcist effect in movies. Or, those movies where there's a paranormal entity trapped in a television.

you helped me give an intuitive hint about reberb. its no more than that power (the waveform voltage) decreases over time. the waveform area is simply equivalent to the energy. none of explanations about it on videos or homepages in my language ever satisfied me, although they call themselves highly skilled p.a engineers.(sigh)

aaahhh right thats how you do that was trying to figure this out the other day for one of my tunes lol CHEERS!!!!! ! stumbled across this looking something else up

Tks for that. Was always wondering how they do that.

Always wanted 2 know how to do this, thnx man.

Thanks man, this actually helped me alot! Respect!

DAMN I BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME..THANKS BRUH

@164ItsAllAboutMe164 Bouncing down is when you save selected audio files or 'bounce' them down into one file. You can virtually save it also as you can see on the right he drags the file back across from a folder. If you don't know what bouncing down is how can you pretend to know what reverse reverb is...

Dope. I'm gonna have a play with that effect. Nice.

Thank i appreciate it. I supported u by clicking the ad.

This is used often in Mako - Our Story

Check out a song call When the Levee breaks by Led Zeppelin. They used a lot of Reverse Reverb, Delays and Echoes.

Good fast tutorial bro. Very helpful. Thanks

your a gentleman. thanks i will try it out makes perfect sense.

thanx so much! you are an awesome teacher! keep posting vids please!!

@NothingPersonalTA I guess your right ha ha, never thought of that. That is what the setting says on the pedal any hooo.

@Seroc000 Yes. Bounce your MIDI track into an audio file. Then use an audio editor to reverse the sound and apply reverb. Take the sound into your DAW and reverse it again. Boom! Reverse reverb on MIDI.

Im very curious as to how much you paid for that add ... its very effective and followed me for many pages . well done sir . advertisement money spent well . great video btw.

@Mrprop5 it's called panning. pan to left..or to right..

No man, I am struggling with that, I personally would do it all with a wave editor. It's a free download for the Mac. You can easily reverse you vocals or music using it. I don't have much confidence with recording. Im a musician Ut when I see You- Daniel Day but I still have a lot to learn. It's not easy doing this stuff alone and some of these tutorials are far to fast and take forever to take in

good stuff, simple really, but effective

Thanks for sharing, it's an awesome effect!

Very cool! Thanks for another good lesson. peace!

Thank you so much, this has inspired me!

very simple and effective, thanks!

@164ItsAllAboutMe164 NO its not the same. First we reverse the sound , then we add the reverb and then we reverse both again. So now the sound is going forward but the reverb is going backward

convert all the effects and the audio file it's self into a separate audio file like when you have finished doing a full mix and you make it a Mp3 you have bounced it into a mp3 file with all the effects that you have added

Very Useful and helpful@ Thank you!

it's used similarly to "render" in this instance

you should explain what is bounced down and how to do that/?

interesting, always something to learn

@SlashIsRockNRoll2010 No doubt, probably worth a bunch a money dude! I can not find one anywhere. I loved the long hall effect on that pedal. I would play through that Vestafire and a simple Boss DS-1 distortion pedal through an old Ampeg half stack. The sound was amazing

@LukeSega Thanks bro I recorded it in my old studio a couple of years ago

omfg I love that sound!

Ah y si este verano no quieres pasar calor, usa esta gorra con energia solar ! - Jose Maria Castells en Max Mix 11

Clever! Thanks for the info!!

@yoSwaziBoy1 You're right !! You got a good ear !!

easy to follow tutorial thanks

bro you are the fckin best the way you show me is so easy i was doing the hard way

Nothing wrong with the intro, a lil bit of history is a + not a bug.

thanks a million nice tip !

@producerboy29 Thanks for the compliment

I've watched this video at least 10x in the past three years... this guy is super corny... but this is such an awesome tip :D

thankyou for uploadin this!

Good, but you spend way to much time talking. I just wanted to learn how! However, it taught me exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot!

Where Do YOu Got this fresh vocal sample from. Sound hot! nice tutorial

@ediblecheddar No its Logic Pro

Excellent. Thanks.

Thank you so much.

You can use it on a harmonica...

@Metalmanmania357 You dont have a recording for me to hear do you ? I could try and analyse what it was doing and help you replicate it

Helped me alot

David, thanks for the video, man. Great stuff! I came across it looking to get that washed out vocal reverb from the 80s that a lot of the indie bands are using now like Broken Bells on The High Road for instance. Any ideas? Any time I use a big plate or chamber it sounds awful and doesn't fit in the track. How do you make the longer verbs sound good? Thanks

@MedievalHollywood Thanks bro but that would defeat the object of me teaching the principle of it. Once you know how you can do it on any DAW anytime anywhere. You could even do it on tape if you'de like to .

dope beat at the beginning. Did you make it?

dude i started going crazy lmao THATS SOO FUCKIN CLEAN ive been tryna find our how to use this with my raps 3:48

nice that really helps

brilliant. thanks

como hago para poner un oxygen 90 en tiempo real que no puedo mi hermano te agradeceria que me ayudaras

@allansed 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB Ram

@Seroc000 bounce the midi track out, then import it back in as an audio file

cool man thanks!

Jimmy Page used it on "When the Levee Breaks"

Thanx man u da man!!!

Steve Vai himself testified that he witnessed Frank Zappa doing that tape cutting and sticking to create that effect.

Try some Hardstyle reverb bass

create a sample of the audio from the daw

@Westsound191 how did you find the video so fast ? I just uploaded it 2 minutes ago LOL ??

Awesome thanks
