Start RecordingWhat Is Nightcore?
Nightcore is a music style that speeds up existing songs, typically to 1.2x-1.3x the original tempo. Because the speed change also shifts the pitch up, vocals sound higher and more energetic. The genre started in the early 2000s in Norway and became a massive YouTube and anime community phenomenon. Nightcore remixes often pair the sped-up audio with anime visuals.
- Speed increased to 1.2x-1.3x
- Pitch shifts up naturally with the speed increase
- Vocals sound higher and more energetic
- Originated in Norway, massive on YouTube and anime communities
How to Make Nightcore
Open the Orec slowed + reverb tool at /tools/slowed-reverb and select the Nightcore preset. Upload your song. The preset sets speed to 1.25x with minimal reverb. Preview and download. For a punchier nightcore sound, add a slight bass boost (+2 to +4 dB) to compensate for the pitch shift reducing low-end energy.
Best Songs for Nightcore
Pop, EDM, anime openings, and J-pop work best for nightcore. Songs with strong vocal melodies benefit the most from the pitch shift. Slow ballads transform into uptempo bangers. Avoid tracks that are already very fast (160+ BPM) since speeding them up further can make them feel rushed.
- Pop and EDM songs transform well
- Anime openings and J-pop are classic nightcore material
- Ballads become uptempo with the speed boost
- Avoid songs already above 160 BPM
