How to make a nightcore song
Quick answer: To make a nightcore song, add your song, pick Nightcore, adjust the speed and download.
- Add your song. Drop an audio file from your phone or computer.
- Pick Nightcore. It plays the song at 1.25×, which raises the pitch by about four semitones.
- Adjust the speed. Most nightcore sits between 1.2× and 1.35×. Go higher for a chipmunk effect, lower to keep vocals natural.
- Download. Pick MP3 or WAV and press Download.
What is nightcore?
Nightcore is a style of remix where a song is played faster, so both the tempo and the pitch go up. It started with dance and pop tracks and is now common on short-video platforms. The opposite style, slowed + reverb, plays songs slower and adds a large echo.
Why does the voice sound higher?
This tool changes speed the classic way: like playing a record faster, the sound waves are squeezed, so every note rises in pitch. A 1.25× speed-up is roughly a major third higher, a 1.5× speed-up almost a fifth.
