REVERSING
THE SOUND
back
| Reversing is not the same as inverting |
The timbres of some sounds, especially the attack, can change dramatically when they are reversed. Long fades become gradual crescendi. Words become an abstract series of sounds. Different sonic qualities emerge. Although a very simple process, reversing a sound can help prepare for more effective use of other types of transformation.
(Note also that this is a stereo file - there are two channels, left and right. A mono file has only one channel. Try inverting a file that has slightly different waves in each channel)
