The Beatles loved playing with sound in the studio. Try their tricks!
Backwards sounds
They turned the tape around so sounds played backwards. It sounds dreamy and strange.
Feedback
Hold a guitar near its amplifier and it starts to hum and whine. The Beatles put this on a record on purpose.
Fade-in
Start a song very quietly and let it grow louder, like a band marching toward you.
Speed tricks
Record slowly, play back fast. A piano turns into something that sounds like an old harpsichord.
Orchestra swirl
Ask 40 musicians to slide from their lowest note to their highest, all at once.
