Fast Post-Recording Editing on Touchscreens

Nothing stalls momentum faster than having to AirDrop an audio file to your laptop just to cut thirty seconds of dead air from the start or trim a cough. Aurec integrates a dedicated audio editor directly into your recording workflow.

As soon as you finish recording, you can open the waveform view and make clean, surgical edits using natural touch gestures.

Pinch-to-Zoom Waveform and Precision Trimming

Aurec renders detailed audio peaks down to individual transients. Pinch to zoom in for millisecond accuracy when setting start and end boundaries, or zoom out to see the entire arc of your session.

Use the non-destructive trim handles to remove silence before your song begins or cut off trailing background noise. Your original recording file remains untouched on disk, so you never have to worry about accidentally destroying a take.

Splitting Tracks and Cleaning Up Background Noise

If you recorded a 45-minute band rehearsal or a long lecture, scrolling through a single continuous file is frustrating. Aurec’s split track tool lets you drop markers at the playhead and divide the file into individual songs or distinct segments.

To clean up subtle room hiss or air conditioning hum, engage Aurec’s onboard noise reduction tool before exporting. When your edits are complete, export in pristine uncompressed WAV, storage-saving M4A, or export as MP3 for quick email and chat sharing.
