Make a slowed + reverb version of any song
"Slowed + reverb" is the dreamy style that is popular on YouTube, Instagram reels and late-night playlists: the song plays a little slower and deeper, with a soft echo around it. Echoly makes it in one window, with sliders you can hear while you move them.
The three settings
Speed controls how slow it gets; around 0.85× is the classic sound, and lower values sound heavier. Reverb adds the space around the music; 30–40 % keeps the words clear while still sounding dreamy. Room size makes the echo shorter or longer.
Why it sounds deeper
Like a record played slower, slowing down lowers the pitch a little. That deeper tone is part of the style. If you want slower speed with the same pitch, use the audio speed changer instead.
Use your own songs responsibly
Slowed versions of commercial songs are still the original artist's work. They are fine for personal listening; posting them publicly can attract copyright claims on YouTube or Instagram.
