Hi guys,
I need to create a rewind effect, as if you're rewinding an old video or tape or something. I get that I have to reverse the audio and increase the speed, but with rewinds, the speed increases continually right? How do I do that? And do I have to add some sort of background sound too? I would greatly appreciate the help!
How do I create a rewind tape effect?

Re: How do I create a rewind tape effect?
reverse the audi with Effect > Reverse - the play with the Effect > Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift
See this page in teh Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sl ... shift.html
Try leaving the Initial Tempo Change at zero and try increased vlaues for Final Tempo Change
And similar with the pitch shift (Initial chage 0 and up the final) as you would want the pitch to go up too.
You will need to experiment to get suitable values.
I just experimented with a 25 second clip and used 0 => 350 % and 0 => 6 semitones - quite effective

You are my hero. Thanks so much!

Alternatively you can use a "Time Track" http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/time_tracks.htmlwaxcylinder wrote:the play with the Effect > Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift
This was produced by reversing a section, then using a Time Track to change the speed:

That's like a sentimental journey. I see myself sitting there and winding up a tape with a pencil...
