On-device Auphonic mobile editor that trims and levels recordings before upload.
Mobile field editing
Auphonic Edit is the iOS companion to the famous loudness service. Not a full DAW, but for trimming a field recording on an iPhone and queueing it for Auphonic's processing chain, nothing else feels this fluid. Pairs with Auphonic's free 2 hours/month and paid plans from around $11/mo.
Auphonic Edit is the iOS companion app from the team behind the well-loved Auphonic loudness and leveling service. The app does one thing well: it lets you trim, split, and arrange recordings on an iPhone or iPad before sending them to the Auphonic web service for processing. For journalists, field reporters, and anyone who records interviews on the road, the workflow is tidy. You record on your phone, do basic surgery in the app while the conversation is fresh in your memory, and queue the file to Auphonic, which handles loudness normalisation, noise reduction, and metadata. By the time you get back to your desk the polished file is waiting in your destination of choice. Auphonic itself offers all basic features free for up to 2 hours of audio per month, which covers light usage, with paid plans starting from around $11/mo via Recurring Credits that reset monthly. One-Time Credits are also available with unlimited validity and stack on top of recurring credits — useful for irregular processing volume. It's not a place to do creative production or detailed multitrack editing, and there's no Android version. As a frontline triage tool that connects mobile recordings to a serious post-production pipeline, Auphonic Edit punches well above its weight.
