QAudioEditor vs Quiet Take

QAudioEditor is a lossless audio editor for iPhone and iPad. Open an MP3, AAC (.aac), M4A (.m4a), Apple Lossless, FLAC, or WAV file - or a video (MP4, MOV, M4V) to edit just its audio - see its waveform, and cut, crop, fade, normalize, copy/paste, or append audio - then save without re-encoding. Untouched audio is preserved byte-for-byte; only faded or normalized regions are adjusted, and always losslessly - MP3 and AAC by rewriting the codec's gain fields (the mp3gain/aacgain technique), and WAV, ALAC and FLAC in the sample domain - so there is no generation loss. SUPPORTED FORMATS - MP3 (MPEG-1/2 Layer III, constant or variable bitrate) - AAC - AAC-LC, HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 - in ADTS (.aac) - AAC in MP4 (.m4a) - Apple Lossless / ALAC in M4A (.m4a) - FLAC (.flac), 16- and 24-bit - WAV / PCM (.wav), 8- to 32-bit and 32-bit float - Video (.mp4, .mov, .m4v) - the audio track is extracted losslessly for editing FEATURES - Frame-accurate cut, crop, and trim - Split markers - drop markers anywhere, drag them to fine-tune, and split a long recording into numbered files in one step - Export Selection - save just the selected part as a new file - Lossless fades and one-tap normalize - Pull the audio out of a video (MP4, MOV, M4V) - open it, or insert it at the playhead; AAC and ALAC tracks are extracted with no re-encoding - Cut, copy, paste, and insert or append other files of the same format (.aac and .m4a interchange freely) - Hardware-keyboard shortcuts on iPad - Playback follows the view - scroll to another part while playing and it plays from there - Rich waveform with peak + RMS view, zoom that stays centered on the playhead, and an overview navigator - Spectrogram view - see the frequency content over time on a log scale; toggle it with the waveform (cached for instant reopen) - File details, unlimited undo, and crash-safe session restore - Edit tags - title, artist, album and cover artwork - saved losslessly (MP3 and M4A/AAC) - Export raw AAC as a seekable .m4a - Universal purchase - buy once, use on iPhone, iPad and Mac Free to edit and to save results up to 5 minutes long. QAudioEditor Pro (a one-time purchase) removes the length limit so you can save recordings of any length - and one purchase unlocks Pro on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Make spoken recordings easier to review without sending the file to a server. Quiet Take copies an audio file you choose into its local sandbox and applies a conservative Balanced cleanup. It reduces rumble and steady low-level noise during quieter passages, while keeping the original duration, sample rate, and channel count in the exported WAV. WHY IT HELPS • Keep imported audio on your device; no account or microphone permission is required. • Inspect duration, sample rate, channels, and a real waveform before processing. • Listen to the source and cleaned result before deciding what to keep. • See measured pause-floor reduction and peak change instead of a made-up quality score. • Reopen verified results from history and reach the standard share sheet. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose an audio file from Files. 2. Run Balanced cleanup and compare before with after. 3. Keep or share the complete verified WAV. Quiet Take is designed for voice memos, interviews, lessons, and spoken clips with steady background noise. It does not remove echo, repair clipping, restore missing speech, or erase noise that overlaps speech. Choose a file and hear the measured difference.
