Developer Wooji Juice has updated Hokusai Audio Editor for iOS to version 2.0.

Hokusai is a multitrack audio editor for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Hokusai 2 has been completely rewritten, using Swift to be faster, more reliable and easier to use.

Here’s what’s new in Hokusai Audio Editor version 2.0:

Features:

• Completely rewritten for speed, reliability and ease of use
• Clean, modern design
• Redesigned Time Bar includes a new “scrubbable” play head for easy fast forward/rewind, adding audio anywhere in a project, and more
• Many effects can now be previewed live, instead of having to wait for them to apply first
• New Play/Pause & Preview bar right inside the effects panel makes previews easier to use
• Hokusai’s “zooming sliders” have been redesigned to make precise adjustments easier
• Many more FX parameters can be varied automatically
• Your project is always saved, not just when you remember to
• Undo/Redo works even after you close the project (or app!) and re-open it
• Hokusai now lets you import/export from a variety of other cloud services — iCloud, Google Drive and more
• Bluetooth compatibility(2)
• Search/filter your projects list
• Re-order the tracks in your project
• Mini-keyboards can now be scrolled to access the full 88-key piano range
• New to the iPhone: Use in Portrait as well as Landscape. And the Undo/Redo buttons from the iPad are now available on iPhone too.
• New to the iPad: Use in split-screen(3). And in full-screen, a new spacious layout for applying effects.
• It’s now quicker to set FX parameter start/end points with dual slider handles
• New curve editor makes it easier to apply complex changes
• Many effects have been upgraded with either better sound quality, more features, or both
• Keyboard shortcut commands

Optional Features:

• Select and apply edits & effects across multiple tracks at once
• Non-destructively pan tracks to the left or right
• Volume controls always available, not just when vertically zoomed
• Found the perfect settings for an effect? Save them out as a new preset to re-use whenever you need it
• Many effects now include factory presets too
• Mark effects and presets as favorites for fast access
• Export projects as an archive of separate tracks, for easy importing into desktop DAW software
• Create zip files containing complete archived projects (including Undo/Redo history) so you can restore them later and continue editing
• New effects including Noise Reduction, Autopan, and Mid-Side Decoding for converting audio made using high-end field recorders

Hokusai Audio Editor is available now as a free download. Optional features are available via In-App purchases.
