KVR Audio

I'm not sure how to ask this.. I'm looking for an effect similar to what was used on Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. The effect they used on Bill and Ted's voices after they died. It's this really intense backwards reverb. It sounds like rushing waters. If there a VST plugin out there that can do this? If I knew what it was called I'd do a search on it.
Thanks so much!

I haven't heard what you'Re talking about but they probably sampled whatever and then played it back in reverse. Its done alot in electronic music with Crashes (especially tarnce and the like).

What you need to do is reverse the sample, treat it with a long and interesting reverb and then bounce it and reverse it back again. This way the sample will play in the correct 'direction' but the reverb will be reversed and lead up to the beginning of the sample.
I hope this helps.

Ok, that makes sense. I just need to figure out how to do that on Cubase

Thanks guys! That's awesome! I appreciate it!

some Ozzy Osbourne songs has that effect. it´s very very good when done right.

Im actually thinking about doing it my self in the next tune.

Wizoo W2 has quite a few reverse reverb algorithms

Reverse the audio.

Insert a reverb (not send) and play it 100% wet and render it.

Reverse the audio reverb.

you can do it very easily with cubase offline processing

another way to do this is to make a copy of the sample, reverse it , then put it before the straight sample ...

Wow, just want to say that this works perfectly. Thanks for that cool tip!

That was so easy! I used Sound Forge. Thank you so much.. It came out killer! I used it on my vocals but this is a collaboration and the beggining of the song was too abrubpt. I was going to add some kind of intro to camaflage it but I used the same effect on the begining instead and it worked great. Very cool effect!
Thank you for helping me so quickly! You guys rock!

It's also nice to try the reverse reverb trick on a crash cymbal, before the drums come in !

Maybe THIS would help too.
It's quite nice.

Heh, same effect as the "poltergeist" thread a week or so ago. Same suggestions too.

Backwards Reverb??
