Wavelength Pro Audio Editor
Read full descriptionHide full description
Wavelength is a classic waveform audio editor for people who record, edit, and send audio every day - journalists in the field, clinicians, podcasters, anyone who lives on a waveform. Record a take, trim it on the wave, clean it up, mark the quotes, and export at the right level. It works the way desktop wave editors always have - a big waveform, menu-driven editing, and the keyboard habits your hands already know - rebuilt as a fast, native app for iPhone and iPad. RECORD - Record straight from the microphone with live meters and a scrolling waveform. - Every take autosaves to a Vault - nothing is ever lost, and you can reopen any recording from Open Recent. EDIT ON THE WAVEFORM - Cut, copy, paste, mix, crossfade, and trim directly on the wave. - Deep undo, so you can experiment without fear of losing the take. A FULL PROCESSING MENU - Normalize, fade in/out, time stretch (pitch-preserving), pitch shift, reverse, and DC-offset removal. - Loudness normalize toward broadcast levels for delivery. MARKERS, REGIONS & DELIVERY - Drop markers and define regions to mark the moments that matter. - Export regions, or the whole file, to WAV, MP3, or AAC - at the level the other end expects. MORE - A separate multitrack view (four lanes, clip blocks, volume envelopes, mixdown) for assembling packages. - Eight interface themes, from dark slate to porcelain. - Keyboard-first: J/K/L shuttle, space transport, the classic key habits. Wavelength has no account and no sign-in. Your recordings stay on your device - nothing is uploaded, no analytics, no tracking.
