We'll bring you audio editing app options for both iPhone and Android users. The buttons for downloading the apps will be available throughout the article. Want to know which one is right for you? Then follow the list!
Audio Editing Apps for Beginners
Let's start by talking about the ideal apps for beginners. These differ from those designed for professionals in some respects: be it the simpler interface, fewer features and a greater number of free versions. In addition, the following apps are not designed for commercial use, while the professional ones can be used for this purpose without any problem.
Recorder (iPhone)
The first application on our list is the easiest to access and simplest to use for iPhone users. Recorder, found on all Apple phones, allows you to record and edit your audio all in one place. Its interface follows the standards of all the American company's other applications, making it familiar to those who have never used the editor before.
It doesn't have a paid version, so all its features are available to any iPhone or iPad user. Its main tools allow the user to duplicate audios, share them, make a list of favorites and store the files in iCloud. Cloud storage is a differentiator from other audio editing apps for beginners and allows you to access your audios from other devices.
Dolby On
The app from the famous company that specializes in audio compression and reproduction has the premise of enabling its users to use their creativity freely while producing and editing audio files. Dolby On has several more features than our previous app, such as a video recorder and audio filters, but without sacrificing a simple and beautiful interface.
Available for Android and iPhone, we can say that it is an audio and video editing app, as it also allows you to stream images through it. Despite being considered for beginners and not having a paid version, Dolby On has features that you'll only find in professional apps. Some of its tools are Automatic noise reduction, sound compression, volume maximization, limiting and much more.
Audio editor: Cut music
The app from the company InShot, known for its video and photo editing tools, is a simple and competent option for Android users who want to make changes to their files using only the basic features found in audio and video editing apps. Its three main tools are: cropper, combiner and an audio mixer.
In addition, the audio editing app for Android is free, but there is a paid version which can be purchased from R$14.99 (one-off payment). This version doesn't differ much from the free version, the two differences being the end of ads, which can annoy some users, and the expansion of access to the app's music catalog.
Super Sound
Super Sound has the perfect balance between simplicity and available features, making it one of the most complete apps for beginners on our list. The application's edit tab allows you to merge, trim, compress and equalize the file of your choice.
Exclusive to Android devices, the app is free but has in-app purchases. The paid version costs R$8.49 per month and allows users to use the app without advertising, edit more than one channel and manage multiple files simultaneously. Super Sound also stands out among audio editing apps for having a video-to-audio converter that can be accessed for free.
Audio Editing Apps for Professionals
Now that we've talked about apps for beginners, let's list the best audio editing software for people who already work in this field or want to start. Because they have many more features and are more complex in general, they are not recommended for people who are just starting out.
Garage Band
Our list of audio editing apps for professionals starts with the famous native iOS app that can be used on both your iPhone and Mac. Garageband is more than an audio editor, it's a studio that allows the user to customize the audio during and after recording with numerous high-quality features and tools.
The application is completely free and, because it is available from the factory on Apple devices, it is the most accessible music studio on our list of audio editing apps. Among its features, one that stands out is the ability to reproduce the sound of various instruments within the app, thus giving its users an almost infinite number of possibilities.
Sound Forge Pro 18
The next system on our list is for you who already work in audio editing and need a professional, high-quality editor. Sound Forge Pro 18 is one of the most popular audio editing software programs used by sound professionals all over the world. Its features include: DynamicEQ with oversampling, optimized multichannel workflow, plug-in manager, 3D Reverb and much more!
The app is not free, but there is a trial version that can be used for a limited time. The definitive version is available for Windows and Mac and costs R$1,565.00. This version comes with a Brainworx Mastering Desk.
WavePad Audio Editor
Of the professional editing apps, WavePad is the only one exclusively for mobile devices. This means that all its features are optimized and designed to be used on your cell phone, unlike computer applications adapted for portable devices. Here you can record, edit and share your creations.
Downloadable for free, the app is available for Android and iOS devices and features in-app sales. With a single payment of R$51.54 you unlock all the app's features and put an end to the ads. Among the features unlocked in this version are echo effects and all the other sound effects available on the system.
