Free Audio Editor Masterclass — Every Feature, No Upload

Put a voice and a music bed on their own tracks, and fade the music in and out — smoothly.

Import · MP3 · WAV · M4A · FLAC · OGG

Double-click · Track 1 voice · Track 2 music

Mute · Solo · volume 40% · pan

Fade in 2 s · Equal power

Fade out 3 s · Exponential

Play it back: the music rises under the voice, then drifts out.

So: one sound per track, set each track's level, and fade every edge.

Cut music on the beat, not near it. The editor finds the tempo, and a drag near a beat lands right on it.

Find the tempo · 90.07 BPM · 31 lines

Eighths · 61 lines · Sixteenths

Playhead on a beat · S splits

Drag · lands ON the beat

Trim one beat · stops on the line

So: find the tempo first, and your cuts, moves and trims snap to the beat.

Mark the moments you will come back to, close gaps as you cut, and export just the part you need.

M · a marker at the playhead

Ripple delete · 30.7 → 20.7 s

Ctrl + C · Ctrl + V at the playhead

Session · 48 kHz · Free exports 44.1

Export a time range · 2 → 7 s

So: markers for the moments that matter, ripple to cut without gaps, and a range when you only need a piece.

Clean up a muddy voice note in three steps: level it, fix its tone, and cut out the gaps.

Normalize · peak −1 dB

EQ · Low −8 dB · High +6 dB

Compressor · on

Remove silence · 30 s → 20 s

Pro: Denoise · Remove room

So: level first, then the tone, then the gaps.

Speed up a voice note without turning it into a chipmunk — and change its pitch without changing its length.

Time · Speed 1.25× · 30.7 s → 24.6 s

Faster · same pitch

Pitch +2 · same length

Crossfade · 0.25 s overlap

Pro: Transcript · delete a word, cut the audio

So: speed to tighten, pitch to recolour, and a crossfade at every join.

Export a recording with its title and artist already inside the file — so it never shows up as Unknown Artist.

Change voice · six presets

Pitch / vocal tract · Pro

Export · Title, artist and album

Blank field · no tag

Audio Tag Editor · 4 tags found

So: tag the file as you export it, and it arrives in any music library with its name.

Take the vocals out of a song, or the music out from under them — on your own device, nothing uploaded.

Split into stems · Quick preview

Vocals + Instrumental · 0.4 s

Solo · the vocals alone

Full quality · 30 MB model · ~27 s

Pro: vocals · drums · bass · other

So: a quick preview to hear whether it helps, and full quality for the stem you keep.

Place a track left or right, fold a recording to mono, or cancel whatever sits in the middle of a mix — one click each.

Pan · L 40

Mono · L = R

Swap L / R

Side · centre cancels · −10 dB

Mid = Mono

So: pan to place a track, Mono for a lopsided recording, and Side to hear what was mixed wide.

Turn the music down under every word, automatically — then shape any part of it by hand.

Volume automation · Track 2

Auto-duck under Track 1 · 24 points

Under the voice · 20 % · −14 dB

Drag a point · by hand

Effects · Reverb 24 % · Echo

So: auto-duck for music under speech, a point by hand for one moment, and a touch of reverb to glue a voice in.

Is your mix too loud, too quiet, or clipping? Measure it the way YouTube and Spotify do, before you upload.

−15.0 LUFS · true peak +2.3 dBTP

179 samples hit full scale

Music fader · 40%

−16.6 LUFS · −1.7 dBTP · no clipping

YouTube −14 · turn up 2.6 dB + limiter

Pro: master at export

So: measure, fix the clipping at the faders, then master to the platform.

Record your voice straight into the editor, and export it as an MP3 — on your own device, nothing uploaded.

Record mic

Stop · the take is in the media pool

MP3 · M4A · OGG free · WAV, FLAC Pro

MP3 · 44.1 kHz · Mono

6 s at 192 kbps → 145 KB

So: record, put the take on a track, and export in the format you need.
