Hello again. I’m using the latest version of n-Track Studio for iOS and I’ve been getting familiar with using the app, and I love it for the most part. I noticed though, that while it has many features with which users may manipulate audio parts (like chopping, Beat Doctor, and fades), there currently seems to be no way to directly manipulate the audio itself. I know you can use third-party audio editors for this use case, but it would be nice to keep all workflow within the same environment. That said, I think n-Track Studio could use a native audio editor. It feature some of the functions of a traditional audio editor, like cutting, trimming silence, normalization, fades, etc., while also offering a nondestructive workflow by preserving preexisting audio files for the file that has received edits (for example, how n-Track Studio makes a copy of an audio file used in the project when consolidating it to a single part).
I will also use this opportunity to suggest a Track Freeze option, which allows users to dynamically bounce a track (and the effects applied to it) to audio at the tap of a button. As far as I’m concerned, the only way to do this is by soloing the track one wishes to bounce to audio and saving the entire project as an audio file. Forgive me if some of my explanations sound off or if these are already features, but I do feel like these would add a lot more to n-Track as a DAW!

To freeze a track, long press on a part to open the part properties box, then scroll down to select the freeze button.
Thanks for the suggestion related to destructive editing. The desktop version has destructive cut, copy and paste. On iOS and Android you can currently do cut, copy and paste, use envelopes etc. in non-destructive mode only, and you can then use the bounce command to ‘print’ the changes to a wav file. The normalize command is in the part long press menu → Process → Normalize.
Flavio.
