ABSTRACT

The Audio effects are meant to be applied to layers with audio. The exception to this is the Tone effect, which actually creates audio and can be applied to any layer, even a solid. There is a smattering of audio tracks included in the Audio folder in the Media folder of the exercise files, if the illusionist would like some practice with these effects. There are a few concepts that are common to many of these effects, so this chapter looks at them briefly. The Backwards effect causes audio tracks to be played backwards. This has the similar sound to grabbing an LP record that is playing, and manually dragging it backwards. Flange effects are created by modulating (adjusting) the echo, which usually results in a warbled effect, as if the illusionists were a cartoon character saying something underwater. The High-Low Pass effect is like a tone filter. It has two modes: high pass and low pass.
