There&#8217;s even <a href=\"https:\/\/slowedreverb.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/slowedreverb.com\/\">online generators<\/a> that allows you to take any song of your choosing to slow down and reverb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s also sped up versions of songs, and of course atmospheric POV (raining, at a party, etc) that can be sped up or slowed down as well. I think these editing styles allow the listeners to have fun with the music in a way the artist or production may have never intended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll hear most of these editing styles on social apps like TikTok, and most of the time once a listener hears it sped up\/slowed down it helps push the song on the music charts, even though the artist isn&#8217;t making any money from TikTok streaming, but that&#8217;s another conversation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s something alluring about a slowed and reverbed song.
