Importing Audio, Reversing Audio, and Paulstretch

Post by Rehb_195 » Sat Feb 15, 2014 11:31 pm

1. File > Import > Audio
2. I imported the song "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze 8-)
3. I selected the chorus section of the song and cut it out
4. Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track
5. I copy and pasted the chorus section onto the new track and deleted the original one
6. Tracks > Stereo Track to Mono
7. I selected the audio
8. I went the the "Effect" bar and clicked "reverse"
9. I then selected "Paulstretch" in the "Effect" section
10. I set the "Stretch Factor" to 10 and the "Time Resolution" to 0.25 seconds
11. I then used the envelope tool to gradually decrease the volume at the end of the track
12. I also used the "Studio Fade Out" effect to make this more extreme :ugeek:

Would make the good basis of a sound-track for SCUBA diving videos (would make a great change from the ubiquitous Enya stuff that most diver videographers used a few years ago ... ) 8-)

And this is me writing that "recipe" down to try it later on other tracks :)

Enya-fication of any music is possible with a VST plugin called DTBlkFx ...
