Reverse a track?

Question: is there a way to reverse a track in MTS? That is, to play a part and then play it backwards? Makes for a great guitar effect as I'm sure you know.

This is such a great system. Easy to use, intuitive - you kinda' have to wonder why the other guys aren't doing this way.

Thanks for your help.

Don't think you can reverse a track in MTS - someone correct me if I'm wrong.

An audio editor, like GoldWave, can do that though.

Or try this free plugin for a "similar" effect... http://www.niallmoody.com/ndcplugs/reversinator.htm

Sazzy is right on, and one of the easiest ways is to use Audacity, it is a free wave editor, just save the track as a wave file, in MTS you use the export feature, mute all but that track export to a file, open Audacity, open the file, click on the track view and go to effects and hit reverse it does it for you in seconds, resave and import back into a new track in MTS.

One note is that Audacity usually processes in 32 bit, as does MTS, but if you have a hard time making the file work, then remember to save as 16 bit going out of Audacity.

This is a great program for free.
