Maybe one of the eventide pitch-shift reverbs that sounds like crystals in an ice cave?

Reverse Gate on the SPX90 with the parameters maxed. Play around with it until it gets weird.Long verb on the Alesis into the SPX90 set to Symphonic or Pitch Change C?Combo of the above in parallel?When I think dreamy I think modulation, longer verbs and delays, and high-end. Bright, wispy verbs and swimmy chorus. Modulating delays. If you have a stomp box that'll do some of that stuff, use that.Depends heavily on what else is going on in the track. It's easy to create a mud-fest.

I assume you have a mixdown two track and you have a multitrack so why don't you use the mix down machine as a echo unit.phpBB [media]Add a chorus or your spx in line on a aux and this might be in the zone. You can use your varispeed on the two track to adjust the echo.Use your garden hose to make a reverb.phpBB [media]phpBB [media]

i have always understood how to do backwards reverb, including the whole track 1 is now 16, thing once you flip the tape, but i've never done it. i think this application calls for it. all the other suggestions are giving me great ideas to show the band. and now i'm getting sleepy. time to go dreamy.

Flip the tape over by swapping the reels (or turning over your 4 track cassette). Playback while reamping the track and miking the sound in the room, recording onto an empty track. (You could delay sending this signal to tape or not.) Stop at the end (really the beginning) of the recording and flip the tape back over. The resulting sound, recorded while it was playing backwards, will be that creepy backward sound that gets played in movies when someone hears a ghost talking to them in a hallucination or some shit. You could make it sound extra weird by doing it at double speed, effectively lengthening the pre-reverb sound (if that makes any sense).It's all post-production, so as long as you've got an extra track or two to spare you can try it.= JustinIs this an equivalent technique to the reverse reverb trick in the 80's ala Photograph or whatnot? IIRC, the 80's drum deal uses a gate + egregious amounts of digital 'verb, but it's the same basic idea, right?
