I've read a couple of threads mentioning reverse reverb but no real consensus on what to use.
Anyone?

Thanks.

An IR reverb with a (short-duration) reverb impulse loaded in reverse would be my first guess.

select a sample, reverse it in your audio editor, load into a sampler, apply reverb as an insert effect. bounce the output to a wav file and reverse once more in your audio editor.

Is there a good plugin?

well, not really, anything will do - I would use Ambience for the reverb and load the sample into DR-008 (which is just a drum machine/sampler)...

... and this solution works for reverse delay as well

Or just use your ordinary DAW audio track. I use Cubase SX. Lets say you have a bar of audio that you want to have a bar of reversed reverb leading up to.
Reverse the bar of audio. Apply any reverb to this track, then highlight the bar of audio, and the next bar, to allow room for the tail. Export this as a two bar audio file, consisting of the reversed audio with the following reverb tail. Then - reverse the whole two bars and it becomes a reversed reverb, leading into the forwards audio.

No big deal to do that man
I'm just surprised no one ever threw up a plugin

How do you imagine a plugin like that? If you have a reverse reverb for an 1 second audio part, and the reverb takes 2 seconds, that plugin would have 3 seconds (!) latency.

Try using your reverb on a send followed by ndc Reversinator

If you want the 'verb to appear before the sound (a la 70s-style "flip the tape over and run it backwards" effects) you need to do it with reversing the sound and recording the reverb, then flipping it back.

A plugin can't do this, obviously, because it would have to predict the future, which is somewhat difficult from a coding standpoint.

Yes, but that would be a lot less work than doing it by hand.

I think you're on to something here!

I'm working on look-ahead technology for a lottery number generator.

I wouldnt mind a reverse reverb plug-in. For instance one that syncs up the latency with, say, one quarter note to 8 measures or something such like that, so you sequence or play the content 1/4 to 8 measures early and send it to the plug-in...

ANOTHER great idea! *steals*

Oh it's cool. That means it will never come out
