Is there a way to record in reverse in PT. I know it will play back an Audio track, but it seems like that's just a toy if you can't use it in a mix. Anyone? Thank you, Roy

When you record a guitar. One applies the reverse audio suite plug in. And now there's a file of the guitar in reverse. One can use either the forward or reversed file in the mix. What am I missing?
I think what Roy is trying to do is record real time audio scrubbing either forward or backward. I once scrubbed a sustained guitar chord backwards and forwards and it sounded great. I wanted to record this but had no clue how to. How about a Protools user that wants to create experimental sounding music and wants to play a sound VERY slow forward. This is accomplished with audio scrubbing, and is not recordable. Or is it??? I'm glad Roy posted this question, because I was curious about this for a while.

It's possible to record half speed but I can't find anyway to change the speed, like manipulating the flanges. Interesting enough in Premier I can choose a value +/- for playback of video or audio. Of course one can use the time/expansion but the pitch stays the same.
If you have a second soundcard and a stereo .WAV recording program that doesn't take up too many resources it can be done. I've done it. Take the Main Outs from the Digi and plug them into your other soundcard's Line-in. You'll be running PTLE and your stereo recording program at the same time. Put your stereo editor into record and while it is recording go back into PTLE and do your scrubbing or reversing or slow speed or whatever it is that you want to do. It will be recorded exactly as you hear it into your stereo editor. Go back to the stereo editor and save the resulting .WAV file. Import that .WAV into your PTLE session and trim the unwanted stuff out and place it where you want it. It would be easier if you could do this from within PTLE alone, but this is one workaround for that limitation. Mike

Man, I am SO glad this is NOT just something to play with. I see that all you have to do is open the 'Reverse' plugin, highlite a section, push 'Process' and it becomes a reversed file in the list. This has been a good learning day for me, and I really appreciate it. It opens up some interesting possibilities. tacohand, This isn't 'scrub-recording', but it's still cool, and incredibly simple. Check it out, man...... Thanks guys, Roy
you could bus the mix out and record it to two tracks (duh) import those two tracks to a new session, being sure you set the sample and bit rate the same as the original session, apply audio suite reverse to them, make a new track or two. record your guitar, as the mix will now be playing "backwards" and to audition them ,you'll have to open your original session, import the guitar you just recorded and reverse it. that's the way to do it without an analogue tape machine! if you have issues with the correct positioning of the new track, make sure it is the same length as the stereo mix track. the easiest way to do this, aside from highlighting the mix track in your new session and ensuring that pre and post roll is off before recording is to select your mixtracks after you've recorded the guitar, or whatever it is, hold down shift and click once in the new track then consolidate regions (shift-option-3 on a mac. not sure what it would be on a pc but it's in the edit menu i think...) this will allow you to line it up when you import it into your original working session. hope that makes sense ~rockit
