Neon is a lightweight digital audio editor and recording plugin compatible with any AUv3 host. It supports most major iOS file formats, and allows simple drag and drop between plugins. The editor allows you to import audio from a file or the system clipboard, as well as the ability to record incoming audio.
As an editor it supports all the usual functionality you would expect as well as being able to edit samples on a per sample basis at extreme zoom levels.
Neon also contains a number of built in effects that can be applied to the whole file or a selection. Effects can be previewed and tweaked prior to applying an effect.
Neon can also be used as a clip launcher within an AUv3 Host, with the ability to remotely trigger one shot or looped samples. The Warp function can automatically adjust the tempo of a clip to the host tempo without affecting pitch.
Neon also features a slicer which allows you to cut up a sample into multiple slices that can be played back via an incoming MIDI controller.

Neon Audio Editor FAQ
Is Neon Audio Editor free?
Neon Audio Editor is not free (it costs 2200.00), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Neon Audio Editor legit?
🤔 The Neon Audio Editor app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Now I’m pretty depending on this for my line-in recording, sample editing and even clip launching. Neon has everything that I need. Thank you for keeping develop this brilliant app, so many new features have been added since the launch.
$15 for what feels like a beta test
This app regularly crashes and has terrible UI, and is just straight up missing features that should be standard to any editor.
Almost perfect
I need an AUV3 app that allows for manually slicing up a sample then playing back the slices via midi keyboard. This app does all of that and much more. However, there is no option to have a slice play all the way through to the end of the sample once triggered. It will only play the short snippet of each slice between the slice markers.
To the dev Mr. Paul: Please consider adding this option! Thank you.
Fantastic Editor!
I agree that Neon keeps getting better, and it’s approaching the point of being an indispensable iOS tool for processing audio. Well done!
The ONLY ONE!
Been doing audio a long time - credited in 30+ game titles. AFAIK, this is the only editor on any platform that offers the ability to edit on a bars and beats timeline/grid with warping to boot! Neon is my new go-to editor, ‘nuff said.
Not really a good app
It’s really not intuitive. For me anyway. Also does not register gestures consistently, making zooming and placing markers extremely cumbersome. It also gives weird errors that I don’t understand and doesn’t let me move forward with certain operations. The error messages are in broken English so they’re not helpful. I use a DAW on a desktop regularly so I’m not really sure what I could be doing wrong.
Super Powerful
Best audio editor for iPad and iPhone. More features than you can learn in a day.
No Brainer
He did it! Auv3 in stand alone mode. This is outstanding.
At the rate the developer is updating this app, we’re gonna need a 6 star system soon. By far, the best AUV3 audio editor on the App Store, and quite possibly the best audio editor overall. Now with he ability to slice, warp, click and drag to files, and automatic LUFS measurement, its a no brainer. At first, I thought this was a nice idea to have a solid audio editor that can be used in AUM and other programs. It seems that a clip launcher was its original purpose, but this thing is also a beast in stand-alone mode. I would love it if stand alone mode support AUV3 plugins as well. Thanks 4pockets for developing software that makes working on the iPad so rewarding.
Quirky needs work
Still needs work on I feel that lately I’m being a beta testers off music apps and paying for it. Having problems with not being able to get rid of the apple keyboard that pops up when going to load a file or save file a sample. Have to reboot my new 8th gen iPad to get rid of the keyboard on the app. Or delete the app and re download it.
Also the sample likes to move when highlighting the sample to edit. I’ve never had a problem with apps from this maker before.
I know that apps can be glitchy and that, I hope they can figure out the glitches and this will be a awesome app. Please fix thank you. Also a way of contacting the developer would be awesome to report bugs / glitches instead of having to leave it on a apple review.
Nice!
Still needs plenty of work to make this important or to stand out.. but it’s a start.
Edit: now it’s definitely getting better. 👍
