Hokusai Audio Editor
Price: Free
By Wooji Juice Ltd
iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad
Description
Hokusai is a multitrack audio editor for iPhone or iPad. Record or import a track, and
make it sound the way you want it to: not just trimming the ends, but full cut, copy, paste
and delete, and a suite of filters and special effects available.
Edit many tracks side-by-side, mix them together, and export to wave or mp4 format —
then transfer them to your computer via USB or Dropbox, or send them to another app on
your device.
Hokusai is streamlined to give you a clean, clear view of your tracks. Use the familiar
pinch and swipe gestures to zoom right in and fiddle with fine detail, or step back to see
the big picture. And just like selecting text in other apps, you can select pieces of audio.
Live "scrubbing" means you can hear the sound under your fingertip as you make your
adjustments. And you needn't fear a bad edit with our full undo/redo support: as many
levels as space allows.
Hokusai comes free with a set of useful tools such as fade in/out, normalise volume levels,
reverse time, and basic synthesis. If you need more power, you can upgrade from inside
the app to add new tools and effects, including: AudioCopy/AudioPaste, grain synthesis,
noise gating, time-stretching, pitch-bending, echo, reverb, modulation (AM & FM),
resonance, distortion, grunge, vocal levelling, monster voice, high/low/band-pass/notch-
cut filter and more.

Moe's Notepad
Price: 4.99
By San Francisco App Studio
iPad
Description
It's the best notes app for the iPad. Why?
Moe's Notepad was designed from the ground-up to seamlessly integrate text, photos,
videos, and audio into a single note, automatically adding time and location information.
Other notes apps started just taking text notes and later bolted-on the ability to add
media such as photos and audio, leaving clunky artifacts in the user-interface - limitations
that don't make sense (eg: different note types), bare-bones audio, poor use of images
and GPS.
Moes Notepad also provides easy-to-use editors for every type of media. eg: cropping
photos and trimming audio and video. Its audio editing capabilities rival that of any
audio-recording app on the market.
