Backward — Reversed, Wrong and Uncanny Cues
A sound effect pack from Core Systems Asset Factory. Paid.
Backward — Reversed, Wrong and Uncanny Cues is a sound effect pack, paid.
A developer asked for this, tried to build it, and could not. Verbatim: "I want to have a sound that gives the feeling of backwardness if that makes sense. I tried to reverse some sound effects but it doesn't really get the effect I want." They were not doing it wrong. Reversing a recording reverses its room tail along with everything else, so the result announces itself as a tape trick instead of as something wrong.
You hear the studio, not the uncanny. So nothing in this pack is a reversed recording. Every sound is wrong in exactly one named way "Backwardness" is separated into five distinct perceptual causes, and each is authored on its own: anti-envelope — energy swells INTO the event and stops dead. The inverse of every natural decay. preverb — the room's response is placed BEFORE its cause.
