Let’s get right to what this sounds like. It’s not quite feedback or tape reverse, it’s…well, listen to what it does in this blues guitar solo.
Even better, it’s ridiculously simple to create this effect:
1. Right-click on your guitar solo, and then choose Audio > Audio Bend > Split at Bend Markers.
2. Now each note is separated, as in the top of fig. 1.
Figure 1: (Top) The original guitar solo in the audio example, after being split at bend markers. (Bottom) The track of reversed notes.
3. Create a new track.
4. Drag notes that decay to silence over a bit of time into the new track.
5. Select all the notes you copied to the new track. Choose Audio > Reverse Audio or type Ctrl/Cmd+R.
