Reverse Reverb - Tail

Cubase
1

Hi

Im trying to do a reverse reverb on the first word of a vocal track, ive isolated the word and copied it to a new track and added reverb and delay but because the one word is so short i cannot here the long reverb to reverse it?

I think its called the tail ?

how do you create this tail ? Ive tried dragging the top right corner of the track snippet but it does not create a tail

any clues please much appreciated and thanks in advance

Cubase 13 PRO

Hi,

Render in Place the Audio Event with the Reverb. This will create new Audio file, with the Reverb. Then go for Audio > Processes > Reverse.

Alternatively, you can use Direct Offline Processing. Activate a Tail time to have the reverb tail also rendered, this will lengthen the audio clip accordingly.

Moreover, you can apply the Reverse process directly after the reverb in the Direct Offline Processing.

Thank you for your swift response it’s the tail I’m struggling with I don’t know how to in theory extend the recorded word to gain the benifit of the reverb Tail?

Kind regards

Reverse the audio.
Render with the reverb of choice.
Import rendered audio.
Reverse audio.

Maybe not the best way but it’s how I do it.

Do you mean lengthen it by time-stretching?

Should the reverb come before or after the word?

First of all - you are posting to a public internet forum. Please remove your telephone number from your post.

Then - there are two ways to get the reverb’s tail to be part of the newly created audio file:

  1. Render-in-Place

    You have to make sure to enable the tail mode and set the tail length to an appropriate value.
  2. Direct Offline Processing

    Set the tail length in milliseconds in the upper bar of the window

It depends on your version and edition of Cubase which of these options is available to you. Which one do you use?

Thanks for your response but how do you create a long enough tail?

Kind regards

Direct Offline Processing allows tails up to 10 s. Render in Place allows tails up to one year. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether a tail is long enough for your purposes.

First off, as @Johnny_Moneto has said, REMOVE YOR PHONE NUMBER!

You set the length of the tail in the reverb plugin, as usual. All this assumes you want a “pre-verb” effect ie the reverb blooming up to the word.

You should give them a quick ring and tell them.
