That can reverse audio in an instant??

I am using Ableton live, and Reaper and only Acid seems to reverse audio instantly without "thinking" about it when i press the U shortcut.. (this is one-shots by the way)

I do fx etc with reverse audio and Acid is instant - is this because all audio is loaded into RAM in acid??

All my other DAW's have a progress meter which slows down the process...

The only reason i ask is because I need to use an Acid equivalent on the Mac, and still finiding it difficult to switch

This feature first appeared in Vegas quite a while before it was in ACID. That still doesn't help you on a Mac though.

ACID and Vegas accomplish this by leaving the original audio intact, and then reading it from the file backwards. All other programs physically reverse the data either making a new copy or replacing the original.

So no other daw reads the file backwards the same as acid? And can reverse the original file without creating a new file?
