Back in the 60s and 70s...musicians and engineers were able to record at lower speeds with their analog 4-8-16 track machines - at a slower ips (inches per second)

Then at playback it would sound faster. They would also play things backwards for all their secret messages (Beatles, Floyd) and, obviously, all their monster analog machines were able to do this.

But that was, y'know, back then.

I'm wondering if any of today's digital DATs or recording software can either record at slower or faster speeds AND play things backwards.

Almost all sound editing software will let you reverse a wav file and most can do time compression/exanding and pitch shifting.
 
Simply play it back at a different sample rate and you've got that same ips adjustment. And the reverse deal is much more easily done digitally.

Any of the popular .wav editors (Sound Forge, Cubase, Cakewalk, Wavelab and many more) will allow you to do both.
