Drop your takes in
Recordings from the studio REC button load as they are, and so do WAV, MP3, M4A and OGG files. Drop them on the sources panel or browse for them, and each one is ready to place on a track.

Audio Editor
The place your takes end up. Drop the recordings you made in the studio, or any audio file, lay them out on a multitrack timeline, trim them, fade them, set their levels, and render the whole thing as one WAV or MP3. It runs in the browser, so the files never leave your computer to be edited.

Under the hood
Sources in, one file out
Every imported file becomes a source. Sources become clips on the tracks, each track has its own level, and the render mixes everything down offline into a single file.
What you get
The edit, without a full DAW
Recording is done in the apps. This is where the good parts get put in order and turned into one file.
A multitrack timeline
Four tracks to start and up to sixteen, each with its own volume and mute. Put the beat on one, the vocal on another and the effects on a third, and hear them together.
Move and trim on the lane
Drag a clip to move it, pull its edges to trim it. Snap to a tenth, a quarter, a half or a whole second when things need to line up, and zoom in for the precise cuts.
Gain and fades per clip
Select a clip and set its gain, fade in and fade out in the inspector. Fades remove the clicks at the cut points; gain evens out a take recorded too quiet or too loud.
Chain in one click
Chain lays every clip end to end on the first track, in order. It is the fastest way to turn a pile of takes into a first draft, before you start moving things around.
Render WAV or MP3
Export the mix as WAV for a DAW or for mastering, or MP3 at 128, 192 or 320 kbps to share it. Save the edit to your account to come back to it, while the audio stays cached in your browser.
Ways to use it
Four jobs it does well
All four start the same way: drop the files in, then put them where they belong.
BEST TAKE
Three takes of the same part on three tracks. Mute two, trim the best moments from each, and line them up on one track.
DEMO
Beat from the drum machine on track 1, bass on track 2, vocal on track 3. Set the levels and render one file to send.
PODCAST
Intro, interview and outro dropped in, chained end to end, fades on every join, then an MP3 at 128 kbps.
MIXTAPE
Your recorded sets or loops placed one after another with overlapping fades, then rendered as a single WAV.
Getting started
From a folder of takes to one file
Import your recordings
Drop the files on the sources panel, or click it to browse. Studio recordings in WEBM load as they are.
Place them on the tracks
Drag each source onto a lane. Use Chain if you just want them end to end on track 1.
Trim, fade and level
Pull the clip edges to trim, then set gain and fades in the inspector. Mute a track to compare.
Render
Choose WAV or MP3, pick the bitrate for MP3, and download the mix.

Between recording and sharing
Every app in the studio can record, and recordings pile up. Audio Editor is the step after: lay the takes out, keep the good parts, set the levels and render one file you can send, post or take into another program.
Why not a full DAW?
A DAW does everything and asks you to learn everything first. Arranging a few recordings and exporting them needs a timeline, clips, levels and fades, and that is what this editor keeps. If the project grows, the WAV export opens in any DAW.
Part of a bigger studio
Audio Editor takes the recordings of the drum machines, synths and samplers of GOONS Studio as they are. A new account opens it free for 7 days, like every app in the catalog - no card required. After that, it is part of GOONS PRO.
Questions
Frequently asked
Which files can I import?
WEBM recordings from the studio REC button, plus WAV, MP3, M4A and OGG files. Each one becomes a source you can place on any track.
How many tracks can I use?
Four to start with, and you can add tracks up to sixteen. Each track has its own volume and mute.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The audio is decoded and mixed in your browser. When you save an edit, the layout (clips, levels, fades) goes to your account and the audio stays cached in the browser.
Can I export MP3?
Yes, at 128, 192 or 320 kbps, or WAV when you need full quality for a DAW or for mastering.
Can I cut a clip in the middle?
Clips are trimmed from their start and end. To keep two separate parts of one take, place the source twice and trim each copy to the part you want.
Is Audio Editor free?
For your first 7 days, yes. A new GOONS Studio account opens Audio Editor, like every app in the catalog, with no card required. After that, Audio Editor is part of GOONS PRO at €9.90/month - your account and your projects stay.
