Producer Tip: The Reverse Reverb Swell

Take a vocal word or a single hit, add a long reverb with Add Reverb to Audio, reverse the result, and place it just before the original sound. You get the eerie build-up heard in many rock, pop and film tracks.

Exact and Private

The audio is reversed sample by sample, so the reversed file has exactly the same length and quality as the original. Nothing is uploaded – your recording stays on your device. For best quality when editing further, save as WAV.
