Vivaldi Audio Editor
Listen. Mark. Then decide.
A fast iPad mini-DAW built around one idea: markers as your editing tool — with a safety net that flags inconsistencies before they touch your edits.
The big idea · Markers
The markers are the editing tool.
Markers are your bookmarks on the waveform: drop them on the fly, move them whenever, use any pair as your work area. Precise selection, no handles to drag from start to end.
Drop markers while you listen
Tap the waveform — a marker lands at the playhead. Bookmark the spots that matter, on the fly, as the take plays. A, B, C, D… up to 26 (A–Z).
Move them later, calmly
Drag a marker to the exact sample. The waveform underneath never moves — markers are just the lens you look through.
A range is any pair of markers
Not necessarily next to each other. Got A B C D? Work on A→C, or B→D, or A→D and skip B entirely. The range is which pair — not how far you drag.
Video coming
Listen → tap A, B, C → pick a pair → range lights up
The safety net
No surprises when you save.
Every operation is anchored to where the markers were the moment you built it — a frozen snapshot. A reverse from A to B never quietly becomes "A to somewhere" because you nudged B half an hour later.
Move a marker an edit uses? The app stops and asks.
It shows you both times — old and new — and lets you choose: apply the edit at the new spot, or keep it where it was. Nothing changes behind your back. Ever.
Delete a marker an edit needs? Blocked.
It tells you how many operations rely on it. Clear those first, then the marker goes.
An out-of-sync edit locks saving.
An explicit red state, not a warning you scroll past. Resolve every drift, and Apply unlocks.
After a Cut, that range takes only another Cut.
A cut shifts the timing of everything after it. Allowing more edits on timing that is about to vanish would be a lie — so the app says it straight.
From the app
"Range already cut. Only Cut is allowed here."
From the app
"Marker moved from 0:12 to 0:30 — [Apply at new spot] [Keep where it was]"
Built to move fast
Two taps to an action. A whole edit as one plan.
Tap, tap, menu
Tap one marker — it lights up. Tap a second — a 3-button menu appears right where your finger is: Cancel · Cut · Clip. No sheet, no dropdown, no form — two taps and you're done.
Editing is a plan, not a single shot
Stack operations on different ranges — reverse on A→B, pitch +2 on C→D, voice EQ on E→F, a cut on G→H — all at once. The app applies them in a declared order: reversals, then pitch, then speed, then filters, then cuts. Reorder by dragging, undo up to 100 steps. Nothing touches disk until you hit APPLY.
Micro-video coming
Two taps → the menu pops up under your finger
A real mini-DAW
Studio filters. Fast as a tap.
Apply the pro filters — EQ, compressor, reverb, delay — to any area you define, from one marker to the next. Or the whole file, if you want. You decide where.
Stages you do not use are skipped. The chain itself never reorders — every processor is Apple-native, the same DSP that ships on iPad. A noise gate is on hand too.
Recording
More than a recorder.
A live multicolor waveform, a peak meter for the right gain, in-ear monitoring, and the pitch curve saved next to the recording. Everything you need to nail the take.
Live multicolor waveform
See what you captured, where you paused, what you only monitored — at a glance, while you record.
A real peak meter
Set the right gain on the first take, not on the third. Clipping is impossible to undo; headroom is free.
Pause and resume mid-take
Phone rings, sip of water, dog barks — pause, handle it, resume. The file stays open.
In-ear monitoring, with a warning
Hear yourself in time through headphones. No headphones? The app refuses to monitor through the speaker — no feedback, by design.
Internal or external mic
Swap freely. Pull the external mic mid-session and the app handles it cleanly — no squeal, no crash.
6 instrument recording presets
Start with the right EQ for your source instead of guessing.
Mains-hum removal
Kill the electrical mains buzz with one switch. Off when you do not need it.
Nixie-tube 8-digit timer
Because even the clock should look the part.
