Reverse audio files with a
single click.
Flipping tracks to play backward is easier than ever with Adobe Audition. Learn how to reverse audio clips fast.
Use reversed audio as dreamlike sound effects.
Looking to add secret messages to your music or achieve a unique reverb effect? Adobe Audition makes it incredibly simple to reverse sound by clicking the Reverse function in the Effects menu. There’s a lot you can do with this quick edit: eerie ambient background noise, creepy voice effects or otherworldly vocal reverberations.
Lay your track down, flip it and reverse it.
Flip clips multiple times without losing quality.
In audio editing, reversing a clip is one of the least destructive transformations. To change your clip back without damaging the audio or affecting file size, click the Undo button in Audition or simply hit Reverse again.
Reverse just one portion of a longer track.
With the waveform audio editor in Audition, just click and drag to highlight the portion of a sound file that you want to reverse. Try flipping just one word in a line of dialogue for a trippy way to hide swear words.
Create backward audio in just a few easy steps.
Upload a clip to Audition or record a new audio file. Select File › New › Audio File and click the record button at the bottom of the timeline.
If you’re in the Multitrack view, double-click the audio track you would like to reverse to open it in the Waveform view.
To reverse only a portion of your file, click and drag within the waveform to highlight a specific section.
Go to Effects › Reverse. This portion of your clip will now be reversed in your Multitrack view as well.
Save and export your project in a variety of file formats (WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG and more).
