Pre-Vocal Effect

In many tracks, before the vocals come in, there is a slight "echo-in-reverse" that pulls you into the vocal. Do you know what I'm talking about? How do you create this pre-vocal effect (e.g. in Wavelab, which I have)?

Also, while we're on the subject of vocals: How do you create "fractured" vocals that are "broken" into fast pieces? For example, the phrase "I feel" will sound "I fe-e-e-e-e-e-eel". In Wavelab, I tried simply pasting the letter "e" sequentially, but that introduces a slight hiss at the beginning of each sound, which is obviously amateurish. Just wondering if there's a standard tool for this in wave editors.

if you use fruity you could try messing around in the piano roll!

not sure maybe play with the attack and cutoffs!

good luck

For the first vocal effect, take your sample and reverse it in a wave editor. Now add reverb to it, and then reverse it again. Load it into your sequencer and it should work. Experiment with the reverb setting for best results.

For the second effect, where you want that stuttered singing effect, one way is to gate it, meaning you play out one long note from the singer, and while its playing, you automate its volume to go from full volume to some low percentage like 30% rapidly. If you use 0% you'll hear clicks. Hope that helped.

A combo of reverb and delay works well too
