Description

Hokusai is a multitrack audio editor for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Record or import a track, and make it sound the way you want it to: not just trimming the ends, but full cut, copy, paste and delete, and a suite of filters and special effects available. "Beautiful clutter-free interface" — TouchProducer.com "Hokusai will convince you that audio was meant to be edited with a touch screen — it's just so natural within this app that you’ll find yourself consistently coming back to it." — iOS Music And You Edit many tracks side-by-side, mix them together, and export to Wave or MP4 format — then transfer them to your computer, send them to another app on your device, or upload to cloud services. Hokusai is streamlined to give you a clean, clear view of your tracks. Use the familiar pinch and swipe gestures to zoom right in and fiddle with fine detail, or step back to see the big picture. Select pieces of audio. Live "scrubbing" means you can hear the sound under your fingertip as you make your adjustments. And you needn't fear a bad edit with our full undo/redo support — even after closing your project. Hokusai comes free with a set of useful tools such as fade in/out, normalise volume levels, reverse time, and basic synthesis. If you need more power, you can upgrade from inside the app to add new tools and effects, including: Per-track volume/mute/panning, selecting across multiple tracks at once, presets and favourites, grain synthesis, noise gating, time-stretching, pitch-bending, echo, reverb, modulation (AM & FM), resonance, distortion, grunge, vocal levelling, monster voice, high/low/band-pass/notch-cut filter and more — many of which can be previewed live.

  • Good app but little bit messy UI.

    First thing when saving compressed files give more options like 320 kbps which for a typical file comes around 4-6 mb right now it’s jist 160 kbps option only which is terrible. It must have minimal 320kbps 44khz default option. Or give more preset options like 256 and 320 minimal under compressed version. Only other option is wave which is either too large for no reason or too low. So the 320 kbps is perfect medium quality size.
  • Simple, powerful and accessible

    Not only is this a wonderful app for editing on the phone, but the developer has made it accessible to blind and visually impaired folks using voiceover, apples built-in screen reader. I know it is designed for music, but I find it a fantastic tool for producing and editing my podcast. this is one of those apps that I would gladly pay a subscription to keep it updated.
  • Really good

    This is exactly what I wanted. Record some tracks. Monitor audio and record more. Some simple effects yet effective. A minimalist interface. Easy to understand buttons and such. It’s what I wanted: straight up. I’ve tried other apps but as a person who doesn’t know the craft this is what I need.
  • Highly Recommend!

    I am a singer/songwriter and I was looking for something like this for a long time with no luck! About a year ago I came across an article that suggested this app and it’s my favorite music app yet! I get to record my ideas and see if it works or not. It helps to be prepared for studio time as well. I like this app so much I’ve recommended it to many of my song writing friends.

    Sometimes the audio cuts off and I have to close and Re open the app
  • The best audio editing app I could imagine on a smartphone

    My knowledge base is I’d say beginner/intermediate and I pick UIs up pretty quickly but I have no editing or audio engineering background. My project: To efficiently edit a humorous clip together from a game with my friends. I was able to easily grab any mp3 or sound file on my phone, open it in the app, and trim, cut, louden, quieten, distort, whatever I wanted (with even MORE options with Pro), save the end result to my phone and then “paste” it in Apple iMovie to perfectly overlay it over gameplay. All without ever leaving my phone. And without any background or knowledge in audio or editing. I can only imagine what kind of things people with those talents could use this app for. Highly recommended.
  • Great app to mix on phone and easy for beginners to navigate

    I love this app so much, being a rookie mixer! I wish there was a way, instead of having just undo and redo, having the ability to have a memory of the undos and redos. That way you can choose which action was undone or redone without a queue. Or you can undo earlier adjustments without affecting more recent adjustments. I love how you can record over your voice and build layers for harmonies!!!! I do also wish that when you are recording over a song without headphones, you can hear the song play as you record! I literally love everything else about this app. It’s helping a lot as I’m learning to mix!!
  • Great app - still!

    Some of the negative reviews make it obvious the user did not try to learn the app or even how their device works with audio. Don’t listen to them. As a professional in the audio/video field for many years, I can highly recommend this app. I use 2 different audio editors for different features each has. Hokusai with the pro upgrades is one of them. Love it!
