what's up guys Tom here welcome back to another video today I want to show you
guys how to make an EDM riser that reversing sound out of any sound in your
session all right we're in Logic Pro and I have a few sounds in here as you can
see I've just got kind of your standard like percussive sounds you can literally
do this with any sound okay so I've got a kick sample I've got a snare sample
I've got a crash sample and then I've got a sample that I just recorded with
my voice into a microphone going that's it pretty simple so let's just check out
what we got so far this is the kick sample right here right just a simple
kick drum snare sample crash stereo naturally and then I've got this sample
I made with my mouth that's it literally me blowing into the microphone so we'll
start with the kick drum I'm gonna go over here and I'm just gonna hit C for
cycle mode so we stay on it here and it doesn't even need to be that long so
what we're going to do is we've got the regions selected there are two things
you can do here one you can double click it and then
we'll pull up your editing region here your editor window excuse me the default
setting is gonna be on track it's gonna look something like that so what you
want to do is you go to file and when you go to file go to functions over here
and hit reverse boom it reverses the audio so I'm gonna get rid of this
editor window and to do that I'm going to use the other option which is just to
hit the letter e on your keyboard so hitting E it's gone so here we go we've
got the reversed kick drum just like that it's literally that simple now
let's move on to the snare drum and let's say for argument's sake that you
want to keep your original sample in there but you want to have a reverse one
as well so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna select the region I'm going
to hit control B to bounce in place so I'm gonna name this like RVs
snare and we'll do include audio tail and include audio tail and region this
will be important later but we're just going to set this as a default when we
are trying to create reverse sounds so I'm going to click OK
now this is in place there we go so I'm gonna select this region now I'm gonna
hit go here to reverse again we're on file functions reverse boom it reverses
it get out of that and let's say for argument's sake you want them to go into
one another right that seems like a pretty cool idea so I'll zoom in here
and we'll make sure line up very closely
yeah good enough so right a little drive-by snare job you know alright so
let's move on to the cymbal crash now this one we will a cymbal crash is
basically for lack of a better way of putting an analogue down lifter so what
we're gonna do is we're gonna do the same thing that we did with the snare
drum and hit control B I'm going to bring up the bounce in place we're gonna
do rvs crash and include the tails in the region as well here I'm gonna double
click it this time make sure I'm on file functions reverse that region I'm gonna
hit e to get out of that and then I'm going to do the same thing I just did
which is drag them so they meet alright drag them so they meet so with something
like this with out with a slow attack on it it's nice to have a bit of an overlap
that
okay so can I got this up lifter down lifter thing going on here right it's a
nice little mellow transition there but what if you want to do something kind of
weird with it and add say a tremolo on the up portion so let's do that
it's like that track and we'll do a thump triplets and we'll set the depth
really depth really hard and the what you call it a phase to zero so this is
what that'll sound like right just different
and if let's just say for argument's sake you wanted to put it on both of
them you can do that too so there's you can do all kinds of little tricks like
don't feel bound to just reversing the audio and calling you today you can
pitch it you can cut it you can slice it you can distort it you can add effects
to it like this you can do all kinds of different stuff all right now lastly
let's move on to this guy this little vocal sample it's really short I could
reverse that and have a really quick up thing if I wanted to but that's not what
I want to do here I want to make it last a long time so I'm gonna go to add a
little reverb here I've just got the chrome reverb pulled up from the stock
Logic stuff reverb chroma verb and that change it to from mono to stereo cuz you
know so let's see what it sounds like with the reverb on it
there we go all right now here's what the audio tale thing comes
excuse-me comes in super handy so we're gonna do that we're gonna select the
reagent come in be again if I don't include the audio tail in the file this
is what happens it cuts it off and that's something we want that sounds I
mean it could work in certain applications but that's not what we're
trying to do right here so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna select the region
again be we'll call it reverse voice and include audio tail and file and include
audio tail in region it's really important that you do that otherwise it
will do the exact same thing that just happened to us and we don't want that so
do that hit enter and it's back so we'll double click on this again go to file go
to functions reverse key to get back out of it and then check this out so it can
be this big long thing now so we can solo it then we can just have this
that's it nice little movie trailer effect right ah
go the suspense or we can go in and out again like we did with the cymbals
same thing and then I just want to do another quick thing with the reverse
here so let's say I like the sound I don't like the pitch of it let's go -
we're gonna go to audio units and I'm just gonna use a stock thing just for
argument's sake here let me go to Apple I'm gonna go to a you pitch this is in
my opinion a lot better than the pitch shifter that's in logics like main menu
I like this one better so let's go let's just pitch it that's kind of cool well I
mean just play around let's see what this does
pull the effect blend down hey that's kind of cool I had like a couple layers
there one low one high so yeah I like that
in fact I'm probably gonna bounce that and use it in the session no all from
going into a microphone amazing right so that's it it's literally that simple
in logic just use the reverse feature in the Audio Editor make sure you edit the
file not the region I'm sorry at the track you won't be able to do it from
track you'll have to go to the file portion in the editor there so it's
super simple you can make a reverse an EDM riser out of literally any sound a
guitar note a guitar chord your voice you can make all kinds of weird sounds
into a microphone literally just record it into your iphone you can do that and
you can import the audio into your session and do it from there so if you
hear something in the real world and you like it and you want to turn it into
something just do that man I hope you've enjoyed this video I hope it's helpful
