0.85x

With the pitch setting folded in, the track plays at 0.90x: speed and pitch drive the same playback rate, so they multiply.

42%

30–45% keeps vocals clear; above 60% the song sits far back in the room.

2.8 s

How long the reverb rings. 2–4 s for most songs; 6 s and up is cathedral territory.

+1 semitone

+1 lifts a vocal that got too dark after slowing; negative values go deeper.

+3 dB

+2 to +4 dB restores warmth lost to slowing.

How to make a slowed + reverb song

Four steps, about a minute for a whole song.
  1. 1

    Add the song

    Choose an MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG or M4A file, or drop it on the editor. No file to hand? Try the 20-second sample.

  2. 2

    Pick a starting point

    The Slowed + Reverb preset (0.85x, 42% reverb) suits most songs. Press Play and adjust while it plays.

  3. 3

    Check it against the original

    Switch between Original and Edited (or press A) at the loudest part. If the vocal disappears, lower the reverb mix first.

  4. 4

    Download

    MP3 for sharing, WAV for another editor. Drag across the waveform first if you only want the chorus.

What each control actually does

The numbers here describe this editor's own engine, so you can check them by ear.
Speed
Plays the song slower or faster. As on a record player, the pitch moves with it: 0.85x is about 2.8 semitones lower. There is no separate time-stretch here, which is what gives slowed edits their deeper sound.
Pitch
Shifts the key in semitones. It drives the same playback rate as speed, so the two multiply: 0.85x with +1 semitone actually plays at 0.90x. The editor shows the combined rate.
Reverb mix
How much of the reverberated sound is blended with the original. Around 40% puts the song in a large room without burying it.
Room size (decay)
How long the reverb takes to die away. In this engine the tail reaches −60 dB at about 94% of the decay setting.
Bass
A low shelf at 150 Hz. Slowing a song moves its energy lower and can make it feel thin on small speakers; a few dB brings the weight back.

Questions

How much should I slow a song for slowed reverb?

Start at 0.85x and go between 0.80x and 0.88x. Below about 0.78x vocals start to sound sluggish and words blur; above 0.90x the change is too small to read as a slowed edit. Because speed and pitch move together here, 0.85x also lowers the key by about 2.8 semitones, which is where the darker, heavier feel comes from.

What reverb settings should I start with?

A 35–45% reverb mix with a 2–4 second decay suits most songs. If the vocal gets lost, lower the mix before you shorten the decay. Long decays of 6 seconds or more sound huge on headphones but tend to smear the beat on phone speakers.

How do I make just the chorus for TikTok or Reels?

Load the song, drag across the waveform to select the chorus, and press Play: the selection loops so you can fine-tune the settings on the part people will hear. Leave “Export only the selected section” ticked and download. A short fade in and out stops the clip starting or ending abruptly.

Why does my slowed reverb edit sound muddy?

Usually too much reverb on a bass-heavy track: the tail of every kick piles onto the next one. Lower the reverb mix to 30–35%, shorten the decay to 2–3 seconds, and add bass back with the bass control rather than more reverb.

Does this tool upload my audio?

No. The file is decoded and processed by your browser on your own device, and the download is created there too. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is no file size limit beyond your device's memory.

Can I make slowed reverb songs on my phone?

Yes, in Safari or Chrome. Tap Choose a file and pick a song from Files (iPhone) or your downloads (Android). If you don't have an audio file on the phone, the 20-second sample lets you try the effect first.

Will the download clip or distort?

No. Reverb, bass and pitch changes can push a mix past full scale, so every export is checked; if the peaks go over, a look-ahead limiter brings them back to −1 dBFS. The result message tells you whether that happened.

Is slowed reverb the same as nightcore?

They are opposites. Slowed reverb lowers speed and pitch and adds space; nightcore raises both for an energetic, higher-pitched sound. The Nightcore preset here gets you close, and the dedicated Nightcore Maker has finer controls.
