I think I might need to get this. Wonder if you can export directly to soundcloud from it.
Okay. We need an audio editor shootout. Twisted Wave vs. Hokusai vs. this one.
Can it do live audio in via AU ?
The manual is here:

I’m not sure what this gives me over say Auria Pro or Cubasis2. I like it has drag and drop though but not sure I would get much use out of it.
For sound design, effecting, Twisted Wave obviously rules the roost — but Auditor I’m finding to be best for efficient slicing/editing. Probably the best touch screen mechanics for simple edits I’ve experienced in an audio app.,
still hoping to eventually have one powerhouse iOS editor, with all the features/AU hosting of twisted wave, multiple layers and slick editing of Auditor, with Audacity-like automation.
If NS2 could stem out to this that would be cool.
It had me at the option for Bars/Beat/Ticks in the ruler and has snap. Winner!!
And layers? Cool beans.
Not universal though. Oh well.
I think it's better to wait until GoldWave drops.
Initial impressions are quite ok, and I've shared some of my 'findings' with the dev...
I don’t like this at all. Hard to read, and not really designed for touch at all.
Am I missing something here? I wanted to use it, in part, for the AU, so that it can play samples in sync with the beat, plus a few extra options not available in AUM's stock file player. On this basis I bought it, but I can't find a way to shift the time so it plays at the tempo of the original sample loop, which is useless and far less sophisticated than AUM's stock player. It seems like a big missed opportunity - things like transient slicing were what I was looking forward to, but all this app seems to do is literally allow you to load samples and cut/paste, etc. Am I right? I want to like it - it looks nice and does what it does well, but it just doesn't seem to do much, not even the basics.
For GoldWave there's a public TestFlight link for GoldWave on their FB page.

(Don't know how many thy accept or if it's still possible to apply, it hurts my eyes though).
As for Auditor. It's mostly issue when playing back files with loop on...
(For example if you have a Bass sample and want to add a loop to it, it's currently next to impossible to play the sound from start and make it loop as playback starts some arbitrary time before the loop).
I'll keep Auditor on my device and see how it improves over time
Uh oh, I think mentioning future features in the store description is a no no. NS2 had to remove theirs.
Edit: I didn't mean shift the time so that it plays at the pace of the original. I just mean it won't sync with the host, even though it says it is doing.
I recommend that you contact @LivingMemorySoftware via their web site. It could be a bug and if not, Andy listens to his users.
@wim: I haven't spent much time with Auditor -- I have high hopes for it as the dev is top notch and conscientious. I couldn't find a way to restrict selections to beat division or set the granularity of the tick marks in BPM mode. Have I overlooked something?
I'm not sure if it's just be not grasping what the app does and doesn't do, tbh. I'll wait for others to chime in because I'm not sure I'm really grasping the 'file player' bit of the app yet. As it stands, my understanding is that it doesn't sync to tempo, but this just seems like it would be really weird and pointless, so I'm hopeful someone will tell me I'm doing something wrong
Currently it snaps to at least beats when bars/beats is selected for the ruler.
I've not dug in super deep yet but I think it's possible to somehow auto detect the tempo too based on file length (ie. select how many beats the length is).
Still getting adjusted to the UI. (I find TwistedWave to be a bit more 'fluid/intuitive' when it comes to editing).
When you move the selection close to a beat it sort of jumps and sticks there. It seems to only snap to beats. Which is fine for me.
cool it’s here. i like the idea of being able to quickly make loops that are snapped to the grid. a few things though. @LivingMemorySoftware
1.excited for the time stretching option coming soon( how soon)
2. also, can it sit in the effects channel of Aum and record into it?
3. can it continually play a loop that can sync up with Aum clock? essentially ios. it as a looping machine
looks cool but still on the fence
4. will it eventually be universal?
It will calculate bpm if you make a selection of a known number of bars first. Some may wish it was more automatic than that, but I prefer it this way. I’ve never found bpm detection algorithms to be very reliable myself.
The tempo-guess is a nice feature. If you make a selection, you can tell Auditor how many beats the selection represents and it will calculate the BPM from that. That is super handy for me. As I recently snipped out a bunch of loops from favorite recordings and have been finding it tedious to find the tempo. This makes it a snap.
It appears that the File player doesn't do time stretching at the moment. I don't know if they plan on implementing it, but it is worth and email to them to request it.
Yes, this is how I like it too.
I usually export my audio to the desktop and finish off in Soundforge. This app looks like it has a nice UI and could do the trimming/fade/merge job, but doesn't seem to do a great deal else. Need to see a demo I guess.
That time stretching approach works in the standalone app but u can’t get it working in AU. This renders it more or less useless for my purposes. I can’t fathom the ‘gap’ this app fulfils at the moment, which is a great shame because the UI is really slick.
Someday my Prince will come...
