I've owned the paid version for a year or so. I have very little experience with audio production, yet the tools, and the app as a whole, are utilized with minimal adverse effect. The very detailed parameters (ex: smoothing - pitch correction) could have a brief description or explanation, but I can YouTube it and come right back to the app. I've even reached out to the team, via email, and received above par assistance in a timely manner. Huge shout out to the people running this app.

This is definitely the app I was looking for. I was scrolling down through the main screen and I saw this app. Honestly, this is the best app I I've been waiting for. It has everything a person needs to include: audio reversal, pitchshifting, etc. There are a couple of issues like when I insert some silence, the rest of the audio is gone, and I would like to see the import and export directory to be separate so it wouldn't be a problem when I want to export on a different folder. Aside from those issues, this is AMAZING and I've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you for making this amazing app! :)

Exactly what I was looking for. went through a lot of stupid audio "editing" apps that just let you cut a song - no actual audio EDITING involved - but this is the winner - it has all the features of a real editor like filters, distortion, stereo split, compressing, reverb, pitch, chorus, everything I was looking for. Was one of the fastest pro purchases I've ever made. Highly recommend for those who are looking for something akin to cool edit, or fl studio, etc. 5 stars.

Good app, I've been able to put together some pretty decent sounding stuff with a little knowledge of placing my phone in the right spot for recording & and balancing out the mix and using effects. There's a slight learners curve to start, but that could have just been me, I hadn't used a program like this in roughly 8-10 years, but it eventually came back to me and I really am getting more proficient at it the more I miss with it. Good stuff, been able to post a lot of music during quarentine.

Capable recorder and editor: needs good tutorials. I'm finally figuring out this app and I have a lot of experience with audio editors. Existing tutorials are poor in that they only cover the most basic functions and don't even do that well. Documentation on advance functionality is needed: select, insert, delete, copy/paste and advance functionality. Having to stumble through learning the app works eventually, but it wastes a lot of time and probably scares off a lot of new users. Paid version.

Works good, selecting specific sections it tuff but that is mostly due to being on a phone. Possibly by adding a larger button to put your finger on when editing could help with that. One thing I don't like is if you select an audio file while not in the app and tell it to open with this app, it doesn't open and start the file, it simply opens to the recents and then you have to go through their search function to find the file.

The simplest and most powerful audio recorder on the Android Play Store market. Take it from somebody who has tried damn near every audio recorder app that there is over the course of 10 years. The problem with audio recording technology on cell phones is that every phone is going to have a different microphone configuration. But I have tested this app on several different devices and the results were all equally impressive.

Great app. Convenient for on the go recording and editing. I'm using it to record an audio book for myself. There's just one thing I'm stuck on. When I add a new recorded statement at the end of a current audio track, I like how I can just rerecord as many times as is necessary before I accept the new recording, but when I accept it, the cursor goes to the beginning of that newly recorded piece. In order to read 1-3 sentences at a time, I have to skip to the end in between each recording. That's an extra step for me that gets confusing and sometimes ruins the work I've done if I forget to do it before recording again. Is there a setting for automatically placing the cursor at the end of the track after each new recording? If not, could you please make one?

Excellent audio app, with nice live preview capabilities and some great features. It's more intuitive and easier to control than other comparable apps. It doesn't have a lot in the way of effects or filters but that is fine with me, it's great for basic sound engineering. I wish the graphic EQ had more bands (but the parametric more than makes up for it, I'm just being fussy.) Love it.

The only audio editing app on the play store that is worth your time. I have had this app since it was in beta and it keeps getting better. This app is definately designed more for professional use. Great for editing samples on the go. Its packed with features which make it kind of like a one app fits all kind of deal. The spectrogram is quick and responsive, the stereo plot feature is nice for visualizing the stereo field. Only thing is I wish the eq was a little easier to use. Thanks so much!

I've been using this app for years. It's a great app. I use it to mix and master songs. I like the many new updates being added, such as allowing to unlock features by watching an Ad. But one thing I really wish the developers would do is bring back some of the layouts from earlier versions within the dashboard. For example, when I'm using the EQ dashboard, I could see how many Db/khz I'm using. This helped me to analyze the best way to set them more accurately for the audio I'm working on.

Extremely powerful editor! If you are having problems with playback quality after editing, change your save format! I save all of mine in various 24/192 formats and everything is crystal clear, no issues at all. I would like a way to voluntarily forgo the "undo" button at any point in time, so my phone doesn't crash from losing too much memory. I guess I could just save it and reopen it, but I dont want to lose any quality.

I have been using this app since the beginning and can say it has definitely improved with time. This app has been the only app I've needed to do edit and mix songs and it features more professional options I havent seen on most others such as granular stretch, remove dc offset, normalize, etc... but those are just a couple to mention. I like how they added a search bar to help find files to upload a bit easier. I would improve by adding new effects and the ability to add things chosen from app.

Pretty cool. Needs a couple features.. 1) reset plug-ins like eq to zero. 2) save effects presets. 3) allow to set default export settings that stick. Maybe presets too.. I just have to keep making selections which are a pain when working with lots of files. 4) in the browse window to open files, allow sort settings. The user is only able to see the folder in alphabetical order. But it would be useful to be able to see in reverse alphabetical and date creation etc. Forwards and backwards.

Many features but it's unfortunate there's no live view of audio inputs such as dB flat Z, Hz peak, spectrograph, etc It could have been useful for diagnostics but most of the features only work with past recordings. It appears to have no mp3 or bit depth setting during recordings. There's very few settings for viewing recorded waveforms such as being able to pinch and expand the spectrum X axis view. It DOES work with my external mic so I'll test it further. It needs live view.

Most user friendly and comprehensive Digital Audio Workspace I've seen on Android, by far. The only criticism I have is that there could be indicators next to the faders as to where 'zero' is; even better would be a function to entirely reset the parameters on the effects, etc. All this would add to ease of functionality and cut back on user error and amount of time 'fiddling around'.

⚠️warning don't lock screen or switch apps while loading anything (you'll lose all) Some of the worst UI I have ever seen on any app. It doesn't have a list of saved jobs, so if you accidentally clear your list like I did, you will lose all your hard work. With no recovory. And if you save it. so goodbye music. The slider doesn't allow you to move tracks to the same string, so you can only have a max of 20 before you have to mix everything and continue. I spent 6 hours on a song and lost it.

waveeditor has worked well for me for the past 2+ years. it is very easy to use and the free version which has very basic features and non invasive ads has been improved over time to include things I had asked for and felt were important but were not essential. now I'm even happier with it than I was at the beginning. if the free version is this good I should probably get around to checking out premium eventually.

Things work mostly well, but sometimes the cursor in the song refuses to move unless you start the song from the beginning, if you skip to the end, the audio glitches and the editor audio freaks out. Edit: You also cannot use special characters of any kind, even one's that you can use in a file explorer.

Horribly unintuitive. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to even move the position of the track. Like if I want to edit 1 minute and 22 seconds I have to push play and wait till the track gets to 1 minute 22 seconds push pause and get it from there, I can't just select a spot I want to edit. What kind of editor is this? If I highlight something to copy paste it, then it's difficult to unhighlight it if I need to, the copy paste function seems to do nothing... Just bad all around.
