A Wavebox edit: I Wish You Were Still Alive
Dedicated to a friend.
“Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.” - Mary Oliver, Wild Geese
A new way of working for me: assembled soley from a live modular noodle using Wavebox, an AudioShare on steroids. The most intuitive iOS audio editor I’ve yet found.

Love Wavebox
@Kmatic : Yes, I tried Auditor, but it never clicked with me, Wavebox has a few oddities (e.g. I haven’t found a way to close the pop up referring to the previous session short of a swipe up reboot yet) but its pinch to zoom/scroll/edit, repitch, and the fact that it’s’ Cut closes up the gap automatically are exactly what I was looking for on a touchscreen audio editor, making it easy to edit out infelicities or less interesting aspects of an unstructured modular noodle.
I don’t have the patience to do scalpel-accurate seamless cuts and rearrangements, so this fits very well into my quick n dirty approach. I think I’m going to be using it a lot.
Oh wow, that’s staggeringly beautiful. Blimey.
So beautiful...you've excelled yourself this time...
Wherever he is now, I hope your friend can hear this..
Your track reminded me of a missing one. Very emotional track.
Thank you for that. Truly beautiful.
Awesome! Gorgeous n lush. Liked it a lot.
A little jewel in the family of audio editors, isn't it?
Very nice.
I am with Morgman73 - Awesome! Gorgeous n lush. Liked it a lot.

Hey, thanks all for your listens and kind words. Making this was a respite from a hot and heavy debate I was engaged in elsewhere on this platform.
Thinking of my friends life, her very untimely death, and the wonderful, clear eyed, bleak beauty of Mary Oliver’s poem was, amid the noise of that passing squabble, I think the phrase is, very ‘centering’.
Always important to remember we are all here for a short, and unknowable length of time, and that putting out creativity into the universe, enjoying the warm animal reality of our lived experience in the here and now, is really the best bit about the whole breathing and moving around thing we call life.
I have found a reading of the whole poem by a marvellous Irish actress, and have decided to do an edit of the piece with her reading overlaid upon it, as it is something I would like played at my own funeral. And it pays to be prepared in these matters.
It doesn’t hurt to contemplate eternity once in a while.
Beautiful piece Svetlovska and I'm glad it helped you to make it. Yes, the healing power of music...
I'll have to check out Wavebox. Auditor also didn't click with me, as powerful as I recognise it is. I rarely engage in audio editing tasks like this so I just need something intuitive and simple, where I won't have to check the manual every half year or so that I actually use it because I've forgotten how to do things.
Thank you! Yes, it turned out better than I hoped, in imitation of Hainbach’s advice about textures. Cue the dust and crackle (which also helped with my crude editing pops and clicks…)
Intuitive and simple? Wavebox is definitely that, at least for me.
I never looked at a manual. You just highlight an area you want to work on by dragging your finger over it, pinch zooming in or out as much as needed, Once I worked out that you tap in the ‘ribbon’ below the waveform to turn the edit on or off, it was all plain sailing. A two finger drag to scrub through the thing, or just touch the relevant part of the whole waveform ‘map’ below it to jump to that area immediately. Just how a touch screen audio editor should work.
As I mentioned , it’s best features for me are that you can cut out an area, and it will automatically pull the edges together, though you can paste from a clipboard, or insert silence if you do want a gap; and you can repitch or adjust the volume of a selection too, making it easy to fix bum notes or weird volume jumps. It does a whole lot more too, but those two things cover most of my quick n dirty edit needs.
This opens up a whole new way of working for me. Inevitably, over half an hour of modular rack noodling, recording straight into AUM, I might only have five not necessarily adjacent minutes of something I actually like.
Previously, if I wanted to do something with that, I’d either have to do a whole series of very crude cuts in AudioShare, or faff around taking the whole thing over to Ableton. Now I can cut out the crap, and fix it in the mix, right here on the iPad, with as much crudity or finesse as required, all working on the single recording inside Wavebox.
This is A Very Good Thing….
That DOES sound great. Going to appstore now to have a look. Once again, lovely track. Your stuff just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to hearing your Vampyr segment. I finally made a finished piece I am happy with for that, but which is unfortunately on my ipad with the broken screen which I won't be able to fix until we finally (if ever 😂) get out of lockdown.
