Reverse Reverb?

[Joseph Reeves]

Hello GearSlutz,

I notice there's a new trend in urban music that alot of artists I work with are requesting me to use in their songs; on the last snare of the verse, or sometimes hook, a reverb is reversed which makes for a sort of "dramatic" feel.

I'm sure alot of you guys know what i'm talking about, I'm wondering how you do it. Is there a better way than, copying the snare to another track, throwing a 100% wet reverb on it, rendering/printing that to a new track, then reversing it, then aligning it slightly behind the original snare? Basically, I'm looking for a faster way that will save me time.

Here's an example:
zSHARE - pocket_full_of_paper.mp3

what you're doing currently in probably the faster way but not the totally correct way but acceptable. the correct way to do a reverse reverb is to copy the snare hit to a new track, reverse it, then add the reverb, print to new track 100% wet and then reverse the new reverb snare hit. then align it
