REVERSE
Reverse allows you to mark an IN and an OUT region or to select a cue and have it play
backwards. This can be useful as a special effect although it is also being used these
days as a way of hiding profanities and expletives - rather than just ‘bleep’ it out which is
rather obvious, some organisations now reverse the offending word(s) so that you still get
speech but the profanity is disguised (however, be careful when using reverse play on
profanities that have been reversed using this process with clients who may be sensitive to
bad language!).
Pressing REVRSE in the main DSP page will give this display:
There are no parameters to set as such- simply pressing the flashing EXECUTE key will
cause the selected cue/region to be reversed. You can. of course, give the new cue that
will be created by the process a more meaningful name if you prefer but, otherwise, “RV”
will be appended to the last two characters in the name. You may also select which disk
the new reversed cue will be placed on if you wish.
As with all other DSP processes, when you press EXECUTE, you will see this display:
Press EXIT to abort the process if you wish.
At the end of the process you will see this display:
If you complete the process, the reversed version will replace the original. Use PLAY
IN>OUT to check the results. If you are not happy with the results, press UNDO to undo
the process. This will replace the processed version with the original.
