TwistedWave Audio Editor 4+

I mainly use this to edit recordings made with the native iOS Voice Memo app. Live music, speeches, classes, etc. that vary from 3 minutes to a few hours. Plus, I've used it to edit single track files from my archive, as well as others people send me from other sources &/or need edited (that I pull from video, etc).

I'm sure there are more advanced things this app doesn't do, but for my needs (fader, crop, cut/paste, pitch, speed, loop, eq, convert, etc.), TwistedWave works great! I use Document Picker to export to a variety of places, and often use the audio in slideshows or new videos.

I'm an audio 'enthusiast', so I need more than just the basics, delivered in an intuitive format. I'll work on a project for several hours straight, every few months. This app delivers 100%. It's stable, works fast, and easy to return to when ya haven't used it in a while.

(Also of note: hubby is a pro sound engineer & musician & was impressed by this app's capabilities).

Many thanks to the developers for a an awesome tool!

I'm still looking for a replacement for Audacity on the PC so I can do all my editing on iPad.

This looked close but after purchasing I now know it doesn't have the very feature I need most - background noise sample/remove.

From a review I saw something like "Audacity for iPad" and from someone's video I saw that it had lots of filter options such as Noise Gate type filter and thought (incorrectly) it would have some sort of background noise sample and removal.

It does not.

It's too bad because it is otherwise the best audio app I've found for iPad.

Back to shuffling my files back and forth between iPad and a PC with Audacity - less $10.

Folks, if you could add this it would really help but I see people have been asking for this from you for 5 or 10 years so I guess that is your answer.

The main reason I am still giving such a high "stars" score (4) to an app I bought and won't be using is that it would be fine for someone looking to clip audio and do edits other than background noise removal would probably be happy, and...

it is very well done, and...

the alternatives for iPad, such as WavePad are TERRIBLE for import/export, spamming, add pop up's, cheesy, unprofessional garbage.

If you don't care about great background noise filtering this could be what you are looking for.

Now back to my PC and Audacity...

Original Review: Great! This is a full featured professional voice recorder and editor - and is more fun to use than Audition. (The editor is far better - and faster - than Garage Band. Think Audition.) I use this app to record audio books and edit on this app. I bring it into Audition to master. :)

Update: 2 years later: This incredible app still provides a terrific experience and is one of the app-store's very best. I sincerely thank the developer for this. I use it for the recording and editing of professional audio books. I still take it into Audition for noise reduction and mastering. I love this app. Thank you.
