Beatslicer is good
No beatslicer will ever be perfect and you should be adjusting the slices anyway if you want it perfect. Your idea of perfect is likely different from mine. Do you want the snare transient lined up exactly on the 2 and 4? Some people do, I don’t care, the way a drum machine does it is good enough for me, but for the people that care, they would slice it right on the transient where I don’t, i slice it when the mallet hits the drum, both ways are fine. My point is no slicer is perfect it’s impossible because people use them in different ways. I don’t even use autodetect I always do it manually. especially since touchscreens make editing so fast. I do have to say this audio editor is impressing me so far, and I have fairly advanced needs. I’m trying to figure out if I can set it to record only when the signal goes above a certain threshold, I have a need for this. Developer, I will contact you once I have had a chance to work with it more, but so far this program seems really amazing, at least on the iPad the intervace is really good, with very handy buttons for common tasks, and I haven’t even started customizing it yet, I have a feeling that once I do that this thing is going to be so fast to use. The feature set is really good, being able to warp slices on iOS is very, very cool. Maybe I can finally uninstall ableton and that’s not something I expected to be able to say about an iOS app. This ecosystem is really taking off I love it ❤️!! I keep saying iOS app because I'm just so happy and surprised at how far things have come. I really don’t need a computer to make music anymore, and even the audio editors are competing with PC now. How amazing. What’s next? Spectral editing?!?!?! (please please please). I mean technically if you want that Virtual ANS exists and works beautifully… so, yah. We have arrived. There are other editors on this platform that are good, very good. But I’m starting to think this one is the best. The multitrack thing might seal the deal on that, others can do it in the same way that you would in say, wavosaur, as separate files. I’m going to do more testing and I’ll be back, I have a feeling with good news. I’m into sound design and layering several sounds into one and I can do that in a comfortable way on iPad that would be awesome. And yes I know cubase and logic exist but it’s not the same as a real audio editor, do some samplesmithing and you’ll see what I mean, you need control at the sample level and that is ironically usually a huge headache in a DAW. I can’t wait to try out the loop point tool, the best one I’ve ever seen is on Protrekkr, where you can visually line up the points in a display with two boxes side by side with waveform displays so you can match up the waveforms. It’s pure genius I hope this is like that, the technique isn’t a secret other programs have done it. But I’m confident that this will probably be some form of that. Anyway try the program for yourself if you need to edit audio, especially if you’re new to it, it would be good to learn on a good interface. If you have an iPad use it on that. I’m about to invest in an iPad pro especially if my MPC interfaces nicely with this one. peace.Show lesswesside sound design
Still 5 Stars 06-2023
Yep - still great. Batch process is very useful! Keep up the good work!
—————
Still one of the best of its type on iOS. There are some newcomers but I keep coming back to Auditor because the UI and workflow are spot on. Thanks! Now with Pitch Shift! Awesome! 6 Stars! Timestretch plus everything else! Indispensable! Great new update! Gets better and better! Spend a little time learning it and be REWARDED! PREVIOUSLY: Based on the devs posts on the Audiobus forum and things said in the excellent user manual I believe this is a long-haul project with lots of great things planned so I’m going 5 stars in anticipation. PREVIOUSLY: Excellent user experience. Planned slicing and stretching look good but quite usable as-is. Ability to use AU fx would be a plus. Great start!Show lessanickt
Overall is a major step in the right direction for iPad OS two track editor
There’s a lot of good. Could you edit a project with Auditor like you could with RX or DSP Quattro. Well, it’s design is similar. It’s based on a traditional 2-track editor. I haven’t spent enough time on it to say if it’s a logical candidate for ‘the” two track editor on the iPad OS platform”. It looks like it though. I say “the” because macOS users tend to find a two track editor then stick with that one until it goes out of business. In my 30-35 years doing this I’ve used three. 1. Digdesign with the Audio Media II card. 2. Peak Bias. 3. DSP Quattro and RX. (I’ll open Fission every now and then because Rouge Amoeba is such a good company). Cons: (this is a first look complaint). The icons at the top, New, Tools, Import, are too small. Sure, get them out of the way, but that’s too small. It’s uncomfortable. Try and concentrate on the GUI. Nail it. Many things are right. But don’t sleep until it’s perfect. That will keep customers coming back for years. And if you can afford to, try to avoid the subscription model. Charge a flat price that will make you happy and we’ll live with it. Obviously it’s not going to have the rich plugin format that RX has. AUv3 needs to mature. And that will take time. But besides this is about the best I’ve seen along with an app called “Mastering”. It’s not perfect either but I’ve use it, (and some others too). Pros: (I’ll come back for this but this two track editor looks very promising as “the one”. We’ll see.

OK then! UPDATED AGAIN and AGAIN! And AGAIN!!

Beats Audacity in my book for quickly converting audio. Please add an option to exclude or remove metadata from WAV files. I've had problems with hardware sample players reading my converted files until I stripped the metadata.Empolo
Crashes on longer files
It totally crashed while loading a 2 hour file.The_reluctant_reviewer
Functionality v useability
I don’t need glasses, but half the time I’m squinting when I try to use this app. Twisted Wave is so much easier to see, and therefore more useable. Also, there seems to be a rather aggressive attitude when people point out things they don’t like. Most apps DO open before loading a file, and I see no good reason why this one couldn’t also do that.Show lessTheWightGuy
Developer Response
- Auditor is an Audio Editor, it is not an effect or an instrument, it does not appear in Audio Unit hosts because that is not Auditor's purpose. Sadly Apple have deprecated the Inter App Audio API which would have given Auditor the option to appear as a recording destination in a host, so unfortunately that feature is no longer possible on iOS. Auditor does provide a file player audio unit that can be hosted in AU hosts. - Auditor opens with a Files browser because you can't edit an audio file before you've selected one! If you open with the new document option the Drag and drop also works. Please read the App store description before purchasing and the full manual can be downloaded from our website.Ace audio editor
It does everything it claims to do and it does it all well.Wet Food
High quality app!
Very intuitive despite its depth. Love many of the features. The slicing is very fast and controls are good. This may become my favorite sample chopping app and I have many. Recently updated too! I’ll be back with a more in depth review after I get more time in but I can already tell I’m in love.Show lessKkdien
Make it stop opening every audio file
Wow. Why does it keep opening audio files. All I want is to listen to a song,. I don’t need it for playing music.fgjyfdf
