Vaporwave Maker
Give any track the vaporwave treatment: slow the tempo way down, add a heavy amount of reverb, and let the vocals drop deeper along with the speed. The preset gets you to a slowed edit, and the controls below take it the rest of the way.

What the vaporwave sound is
Vaporwave is a genre built on one edit: take a smooth, familiar track, slow it way down, and add a lot of reverb. The genre has a whole internet aesthetic around it (pink sunsets, marble busts), but the sound itself mostly comes from that one edit. Slowed down that far, a track sounds a bit like a record playing at the wrong speed, and the melody stays recognizable the whole way through.
Dialing in the vaporwave effect
The page loads with slowed + reverb already applied: 0.8x speed and a solid amount of reverb. That gets you a slowed edit. However, real vaporwave needs more than that, and three changes get you there.
- Slow down past the preset. Drag the speed under 0.8x and listen around 0.7x. Speed and pitch drop together unless you turn Preserve pitch on. For this effect you want them dropping together, since the deep vocal is half the aesthetic.
- Switch to a bigger reverb room. Change the room to Parking Garage or Cathedral (the long, hollow spaces) and raise the wet amount until the echo is a clear part of the mix.
- Use the Dark EQ preset. It pulls the high end down hard and leaves a touch of extra low, which makes the track sound warmer and less crisp.
If you want extra texture on top, the Pro sounds go one step further. Vinyl adds worn-record artifacts over the whole mix, and arcade adds 8-bit fuzz.
How to make and export an edit
- Load something smooth into the player (an 80s ballad, a city-pop cut, a slow jam). It starts playing through the preset right away.
- Make the three changes above: lower speed, bigger room, darker EQ. Every change applies to the audio as you make it, so you can tune everything by ear.
- Export when it sounds right. Your browser re-renders the whole file in a separate offline pass, so a stutter in the preview never ends up in the WAV. The finished file carries the track's name and the preset's name, so a folder of experiments stays easy to sort through.
What to do with your edits
Some vaporwave edits end up in projects, like a slowed chorus laid under a sunset clip or a stretched-out intro for a video. Plenty of them are just for listening. A favorite album at 0.7x with the Cathedral room on genuinely sounds like a different record, and it works great as background music for late-night work. Since everything runs on your device, you can experiment across your whole library without a queue, a quota, or an upload bar.
