Start RecordingWhat Is Vaporwave?
Vaporwave is a music and art genre that emerged in the early 2010s. It takes samples from 80s and 90s pop, jazz, R&B, and corporate muzak and slows them down dramatically with heavy reverb and echo effects. The result is nostalgic, surreal, and hypnotic. Musically, vaporwave is characterized by tempos around 60-80 BPM (often achieved by slowing a 100-120 BPM source), lush reverb, and a lo-fi warmth.
- Heavily slowed (0.6x-0.7x speed)
- Wet reverb for a cavernous, dreamy sound
- Bass boost for warmth and weight
- Nostalgic, surreal aesthetic
How to Make Vaporwave
Open the Orec tool at /tools/slowed-reverb and select the Vaporwave preset. Upload your song. The preset slows the track to 0.65x with heavy reverb (80%) and +6 dB bass boost. Preview the result. For a more extreme effect, lower the speed to 0.6x. For a subtle chopped and screwed vibe, keep speed at 0.7x with moderate reverb.
Source Material That Works Best
80s pop, smooth jazz, corporate muzak, and city pop (Japanese 80s pop) are classic vaporwave source material. Any song with clear synths, clean production, and a nostalgic feel works well. Vocals should be relatively clean since the slowing effect makes distorted or compressed vocals sound muddy.
- 80s pop and synth-pop
- Smooth jazz and elevator music
- Japanese city pop
- Clean, well-produced tracks with synths and vocals
