Or you can use it creatively like a lot of Chillwave artists. This can be done subtly to just clean up some muddy reverb. You can leave a long release to make it sound more natural. When the instrument drops below the threshold, the compressor will open back up allowing the reverb through, and filling in the quieter space between the instrument notes. What this will do is clamp down on the reverb once the instrument hits a note, preventing energy buildup from the reverb that will compete with the instrument. Then in the compressor, select the instrument track from the sidechain drop down. To clean it up, put a compressor on the bus AFTER the reverb. Put some lush reverb on it, and it’ll no doubt get muddy. Take an audio track and send it to another bus. Sidechain reverb takes advantage of the long held use of sidechain compression. Preverb in Logic Pro X piano with preverb Sidechain Reverb (Use ctrl-B to bounce in place.) Then reverse this track so that it’s playing forward, et voila, preverb. Once the reverb is on it, bounce the track in place. You’ll probably come back after the fact to play with the reverb tail a bit as it’s kind of hard to judge how long it should be while in reverse. This was used a fair amount on metal vocals.įirst reverse an audio clip like from above. Listen at 0:38 when Chris Cornell starts singing. A great example of this is Rusty Cage by Soundgarden. This will result in the reverb tail “fading in” to the original sound. You essentially play the reverb on the reversed audio and print it, then revers that so that it’s playing forward. Reverse an audio clip in Logic Pro X piano before piano after reverse Preverb You may need to click the down arrow before “More” to see it. Just click that and it’ll play the audio backward. Select the audio region, and then on the left side you’ll see a checkbox called reverse.
This one is easy as Logic Pro X has this ability built in.
