260 AUDIO EDITOR
Reversing a file
An interesting effect in Audio Editor is the Effect: Reverse command, which
allows you to reverse a file so that it plays in the opposite direction. In most cases,
this will produce an unintelligible result, which can only be deciphered if you
reverse the file again.
Performing an echo
Echoes are useful effects which are often difficult to record naturally. Using Audio
Editor, however, you can overcome such recording limitations and produce echoes
that sound as if you are in a canyon or at a baseball game.
To create an echo quickly, click either one of the Echo commands available in the
Effect menu. Or, to customize one of those commands, click Effect: Echo. This
opens the Echo dialog box which allows you to define the three characteristics of
each echo command: Delay, Decay, and Bound. Delay is the length of time that
passes before you hear an echo, while Decay accounts for the loss of sound in
each repetition. Bound determines the next round of repetition and is repeated
until the echo fades away entirely. Below is a description of the characteristics for
each of the echo commands:
