Audio editing requires something a bit different from any other form of editing. People generally use multiple tracks, require things like sound balancing, and other stuff. Bands need it to cut albums and podcasters need it to prepare shows. It's a wide industry with a lot of solutions that work pretty well. A good DAW should let you edit multiple channels, various sound effects, and the most versatile ones have things like MIDI support and other such things. There aren't a ton of options, but we think we found the good ones. Here are the best audio editing apps and DAWs for Android.
The best audio editing apps and DAWs for Android
Audio Evolution Mobile Studio
Price: $9.99 with in-app purchases
BandLab is one of the better free audio editor apps on mobile. The app features a 16-track editor, a sampler to create custom instruments, and a looper function to create beat loops. It also boasts over 300 virtual MIDI instruments, 180 effects, a looper, and even a video clip editor. It's not quite as powerful as some others, but the price is right and you can even publish stuff on BandLab's social media service after you're done.
Cubasis 3
Price: Free trial / $20.99

SunVox is right up there with Kaossilator and Caustic 3 in terms of sound creation. It's a modular synthesizer with a lot of customization. You put down the sounds you want and then play them. From there, you can record, import into another app, and edit as needed. Some features include support for up to 32-bit WAV files, multi-track WAV exporting, and tons of effects. It's also reasonably cheap with no extra in-app purchases.
