The editor allows you to import audio from a file or the system clipboard, as well as the ability to record incoming audio. As an editor it supports all the usual functionality you would expect as well as being able to edit samples on a per sample basis at extreme zoom levels. Neon also contains a number of built in effects that can be applied to the whole file or a selection. Effects can be previewed and tweaked prior to applying an effect.
