Flip a recording end to end. Handy for reverse effects, for boomerangs, and for hearing what a backwards message actually says.
Reversing is exact and instant — the samples are simply read from the end. Nothing about the sound quality changes.
Reverse Audio plays a file back to front. It is the oldest trick in recorded sound and still one of the most useful — reversed cymbals, swelling risers, and the classic backwards-message curiosity.
The Backwards mode simply reads the recording from the last sample to the first. Nothing is re-encoded beyond the final save, so the quality is exactly what went in. The Forwards then back mode plays the original and then its mirror image, joined with a short blend, which gives you a seamless loop that always returns to where it started.
A short fade on the outer edges is switched on by default. Reversed audio often ends on what used to be an abrupt beginning, and without a fade that lands as a click.
No. The samples are read in the opposite order and nothing else is touched. Any quality change comes only from the format you choose when saving — WAV loses nothing at all.
It plays the file and then its reverse, so the sound ends exactly where it began. That makes a clip that can be looped forever with no audible seam, which is what the boomerang effect on social apps does with video.
Not in this tool directly — trim the section you want with the Audio Trimmer first, then reverse that.
Because what is now the beginning used to be a natural ending, which often stops dead. The 30 millisecond fade option smooths it; leave it ticked unless you need the hard edge.
No — reversing is one of the fastest things you can do to audio. The only real wait on a long file is decoding it at the start and encoding MP3 at the end.
