Hokusai Audio Editor App Reviews

This app would be 100% better if it didnt constantly crash when I am trying to sing over my songs. I dont recommend getting this app because of this problem,but I will keep it in my apps just in case there is a update to fix this, thank you

Of space. Just sayin.

hoku koku, fun fun the audio clipper keeps on clipping

This app crashes too much, uninstalling once I get my salvaged audio safely off!

This app wasnt great but it did what I needed it to do, until it started constantly crashing when I tried to export my files. I use this to record my regression clients and now I cannot share the important information with them. 2 thumbs down.

I was looking for an app to allow me to splice music and audio files together. This app is not that app. If it can do such a thing, I couldnt find out how.

I would like to see more features like extract vocals or lower song instrumental

Was at mascot camp and needed to put some music clips together for a skit on the fly. Thought I was gonna have to buy an expensive app to do this but this app has features comparable to audacity for free. Saved my butt. Would recommend this app to errrbody.

What a worthless piece of app! Dont waste your time or your ear drums! The tools are useless (there are only a few and they completely ruin the audio you may have been trying to improve).

This is the best app I have found to edit audio tracks and is very user friendly.

As many have said, you can record audio that sounds great, and you can cut that audio into pieces if that is what you need. I was hoping the effects would actually help me to further edit the sound itself, but the effects are pathetically implemented. I know DSP programming is tricky, but other developers seem to figure it out ok often enough. The filters in this app are impossible to use with any precision; but worse, no matter what you might think you have achieved with them, when you export the audio, it sounds awful. This is not the sample editor you are looking for. Seriously.

PAID FOR BUT NO CHANGE…..10 BUCKS DOWN THE DRAIN.

Sloppy controls with no way to undo is a bad combination.

Im a long time Mac user, since well before it became cool(as in 2001 or so). I was impulsive and bought this app. After being incredibly dissatisfied with this app, I thought, "Maybe if I buy the full version, itll be exactly what I want". Im not an audio geek but I work in the movie, tv, commercial industry where sound is supremely important so I. Acutely aware of whats important when recording and manipulating sound. THIS APP IS NOT EFFECTIVE OR EFFICIENT OR EVEN HALFWAY PASSABLE AS A GOOD AUDIO EDITOR.Please save your money and dont waste it here. I dont usually rate apps as Im pretty apathetic when it comes to things that dont directly effect my bottom line but I feel like Ive been taken advantage of, lied to, hornswoggled, bamboozled, etc, by this app. THATS how bad and worthless this thing is. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

I like the app, its easy to use, has good sound for the basic recording of ideas or rehearsals, etc, but it crashes a lot during basic editing (mostly for me, when I am trying to copy part of an audio file to a new document - crashes every time). I will say however that even with the crashing it does recover quickly and there has yet to be any lost data. I am keeping an eye on it for future updates with hopes this will be fixed. For the moment, I can only recommend it for non-critical recording instances...

When I want to "import" I want to import from my camera roll and music library ps I dont buy music

Tried importing a long MP3 file, like an hour long, ... the whole app just broke. White noise is all I would get, and then the app would crash. tried it on a couple mp3s of similar length, all same result.

With this app you cant undo changes, so if you hit another button by mistake you loose your recording. You cant manage the volume of the tracks If you add a sound effect you cant make a preview, so f you dont like it you have to do all over again. This app needs to be improved.

I recently had not one but two amazing back to back customer service experiences with Hokusais Development Team at Wooji-Juice. Canis, the lead developer, not only explained to me, an amateur, why the two songs i was trying to piece together werent working, but actually reconstructed it for me --not once, but twice, after ewanting to change the ending of the project-- to fit what i needed on a weeks deadline. Even though they are based in London and im on the West Coast, he responded to every email (with resolutions) within 10 minutes. Amazing support! Yes, the app is great, but the customer service was what kept me workign with it! Thank you again!!

all Im trying to do is loop an instrumental and its impossible
