How reversing audio works

Digital audio is a long list of samples, tens of thousands per second. Reversing simply plays that list from the last sample to the first. Speech turns into an alien-sounding language, piano notes swell in instead of fading out, and reverb tails become eerie build-ups.

For the reverse singing challenge: record yourself saying a phrase, reverse it here, practise copying the backwards sound, record that, and reverse your recording. The result sounds almost like the original phrase.

To reverse just one part of a song, cut it out first with the audio cutter, then reverse the clip.
