Meow | Audio Editor1.2.0 - App Store

Meow is a fast and efficient audio and sample editor for quickly and easily getting general everyday audio and sample editing duties done.

It does not have a huge amount of features, but instead focuses on a fast, effective workflow and user interface.

IMPORTANT: Meow is free to try so you can see if the app suits your needs. However, to enable saving or sharing edited audio, a one-time In-App Purchase (IAP) is required.

KEY FEATURES:

- Fast, smart and efficient navigation and selection with optional snapping to zero crossings
- Undo and Redo (number of steps depends on file size)
- Automatic Crossfades (adjustable length) for most editing operations
- Interactive adjustable fade-in / fade-out points with various curve shapes
- Interactive loop cross-fade for creating seamless loops
- Nudging and manual entry of selection start / end or playhead for fine control
- Touch and mouse input fully supported
- Extensive hardware keyboard support with keyboard shortcuts including in-app reference
- Smart AutoZoom to reduce the need for manual panning / zooming
- Clipboard with automatic resampling and rechanneling
- Tempo and time signature support for editing and snapping to bars or beats, with automatic calculation from selection
- Resampling between any two supported sample rates (see below)
- In-App Recording from the device microphone with optional auto-normalize. Recording from external audio interfaces and in stereo is currently not guaranteed to work with all interfaces. Compatibility will be vastly improved in a future update.
- Sample-accurate editing and playback exactly according to selection
- Seamless and sample-accurate looping playback of selection

LIMITATIONS:

- Editing very large files can result in slowdowns.

Version History NEW:
