01 / The problem
Reverse a clip. Bounce. Re-import. Line it up. Repeat.
Five steps.One click.
The classic reverse-reverb swell used to mean manual reversing, bouncing and re-importing every single time. Reverse Reverb does it in place — automatically. You hear the result live while the track plays. And if you're new to producing, you get the chart-ready effect instantly — no tutorials, no workarounds.
~3 minper swell when you build it by hand
2×per song — intros, drops, transitions
4songs a week — a light, realistic schedule
~21 hrssaved per year — ≈1.7 hrs a month
0bounces — hear it live, in real time
The founder
Berlin studio. Since 2002.
BIXLAB started in a Berlin studio in 2002 — a €30 vocal mic, two keyboards, old monitors and a hi-fi as playback. Twenty-plus years of sessions, songs and productions later, one small ritual never went away: reverse the clip, bounce, re-import, line it up, repeat — for every vocal swell, every intro, every drop.
After doing that by hand more times than I can count, I stopped treating it as a normal part of the job and started treating it as a problem worth solving. What I built is that fix — built first to survive my own sessions, then refined so any producer, bedroom setup or pro studio, gets the same swell in one click instead of five steps.
“I didn't build this to sell a plugin. I built it because I needed it — every week.”

02 / How it works
01
Place the cursor
Drop your playhead right before the word, snare or phrase you want to lift.
02
Hit Capture
The plugin listens, detects the word onset and grabs the source automatically.
03
Done
The reversed reverb tail is placed perfectly in front of the word. Tweak or move on.
03 / The sound
Six reverbs. One swell engine.
A true algorithmic FDN reverb — 16 delay lines, Hadamard diffusion, modulation. Each type has its own character.
Same phrase, real audio — flip DRY/SWELL while it plays.
