"Poltergeist" effect

Post by infidel4life »

Youll need the sound recorder that is installed on your computer for this as well.

1. Open MC3 record some audio.

2. record it into the "Sound recorder".

3. Under "effects" in the sound recorder reverse the speech

4. You can then record the reversed speech back too MC3 and add alot of reverb to the reversed speech, you can also do this in the sound recorder.

5. After adding alot of reverb to the backwards speech, re record this to the sound recorder.

6: Reverse again the backwards speech with alot of reverb.

This should reproduce the sound as the little girl had in poltergeist . For a sample goto http://www.box.net/shared/8jdyck7kot You can fine tune the audio alot better than this using the EQ on MC3 and other stuff. Enjoy !

Yep, that little sound recorder that comes with windows has served me well over the years for little tricks like this.

Also check out the "madshifta", it will do this effect and more.
