Hokusai Audio Editor App Reviews

This app is very handy for use along side of other beat making apps like loopy. Copy paste to it and add silence, double a loop length, remove hiss, etc.. Glad I upgraded to full. I had a question and their email support reply was very good.

I gave this app 5 stars because of its attention to detail when editing audio. It comes with many available audio features. I found when used properly it has the Best audio tool for getting rid of unwanted background hissing or fuzz or static that is often picked up by the iPhone mic. Some bad stuff-- The new version is only iOS 7 compatible Some Good News-- If you downloaded it back when you had iOS 6 it will let you download an older version that works. I found it only lets you import audio files that are 10 minutes or less And it crashes when you try to do more than 10 minutes on import. However, if you take a 10 minute file already opened in Hokusai editor and add stuff to make it 15-20 minutes there is no problem ob save and export works great. Many audio files I have That I would like to edit. (Mostly mic recordings on iphone) are more than 10 minutes (some eange as long as 60 minutes) and I would like to remove background static (which Hokusai is perfect for) Please make it accept larger audio files!!! Also on last problem (although Hokusai is still the Best and most in depth audio editor I found available for iPhone): Basically the app does not delete all of its stored data upon app close or crash and there is no way to clear in app data within the app that works. Several other apps by different developers have the stored data and crash problem , resorting in Huge Application reported file Size with No way to clear the data without deleting the app, including mconverter, voddio, file splitter, Hokusai and I forget the others. Then you have to re download the app Fresh to get the original smaller app file size back. A possible fix is to add a "delete all in app data button feature" in the app to restore it to its original program size Love the App!!!! Hope to see more apps and updates!!! Thank you for the wonderful App!!)

I cant say enough great things about this app. I admit, Im not a sound technician, so maybe it lacks some features Im not aware of, but for my purposes, it is great. Here is what I use it for most. I DJ elementary school dances and I hate that artists cant seem to write a catchy song that doesnt drop the f bomb, or discuss the way the interacted with their girlfriend the night before. With this app, you are able to self edit. Granted some musicians will make a "clean version" but clean for our family doesnt include the words d%mn or b$tt. So I can access my itunes library and edit a song to completely remove a second or so of the song. If that would be beneficial to you, grab this app.

Dont get this its not worth it, the whole point in getting this is so we can save the file we converted! But how can we if we cant buy it? Whats the point if I cant save it to my camera I cant even email it! Some ppl dont have the money to buy an app, thats why we go for a FREE one! Horrible

Without this app or apps like it, music production on iOS devices would be much more difficult. It is the bridge that allows me to prepare and trim audio created in one app before moving it to a second app for further development. It provides work-arounds for some rather arbitrary and stupid restrictions that apple built into iOS. Fully upgraded, this app actually prevents migraine headaches (for me, anyway).

The interface on this app is completely unusable. I spent a half hour trying to cut a 30 second region out of a song and finally gave up. Theres no counter to show where you are in a song, unless youre moving or resizing a highlighted region, and if the highlighted region extends beyond the edge of the screen moving the region doesnt give you a counter. If youre zoomed into a highlighted region you cant pan. Instead youll end up moving the highlighted region. You have to first zoom out. The the touch captured region of the edge of a highlighted region are so small that I can only grab it one out of five times, the other times it pans or move my highlighted section. Theres no way to select where to start playing in a highlighted region. I was trying to cut out a 30 second region. To determine the end of the cut I had to play the whole selected region a dozen times. When attempting to pull a highlighted region into often times it moves the selected region instead. The app has potential but as is the interface is so unpolished that its absolutely aggravating to use. Waste of money.

This app needs, no demands and undo button!

Fix it, I demand updates. Constant crashes cant load music from many sources needs a reboot.

Doesnt do everything it claims to and does what it can poorly.

Best audio editing app yet!

Has Helped Me Make Songs And Allows Me To Undo Mistakes :) Very Good Studio To Use Yet, Crashes A lot And Takes Me Off The App Making Me Lose Certain Recordings. It Can Be A Better Just Those Things Needed.

Love it because there is nothing like it in AppStore where you can take a song and cut out part and enhance other parts. I love this and its a must have!

Wont export. Crashes over and over, no. Matter how small and uncomplicated the audio file.

The application is hard to zero in on exact locations. I found the application did not have very good fine controls, which made it hard to find the exact point to trim. The application does not represent true waveforms which made it even harder to find the locations I need to trim. The application only offers wav and MP4 for export, I needed MP3.

I sing and play the guitar and I just got this and am absolutely in love it sounds like a real recording mic!!!! Plus you can overlay tracks! Instagram: coop.quick

This app may not be the easiest to get around but its the best audio editor app that Ive found on the App Store!!! Its great to use if your making music videos or just trimming and editing audio in general. Its a wonderful app.

trying to get the audio down to pieces you want is difficult, the size of the waves moves, easy to loose your place and pasting audio into the same bar is even more difficult because it bounces and cuts up previous audio. the number of times I have had to start over because there was nothing I could do to fix it is really irritating. dont really recommend. I wasted 10 dollars, wasnt worth it at all

PLEASE ADD AUTOTUNE AFFECT ON HERE THE APP WOULD BE COMPLETE

I REALLY, love this app! It helped me, when the other apps didnt want to help

Really quick and easy way to edit audio. Best of all, its free and doesnt crash! One suggestion: include an export button.
