It’s all about using the right tool for the job.įerrite is “like Desktop Publishing for audio”: a tool for creating polished audio “publications” (podcasts, radio journalism, audiobooks, educational materials, and so on) by assembling together pieces of audio, either recorded in the app, or imported from elsewhere. But they’re all great tools, when you use them for their intended purpose. Spreadsheets, art packages, word processors – if you try to make them something they’re not, you’re likely to have a bad time. But you probably want to use a word-processor or publishing tool. You could produce a novel in an art package, by creating hundreds of separate pictures, one for each page, and using the “add text” command to lay out the words on each page. But you probably want to use an art package. You could make artwork by creating a giant spreadsheet and filling each cell with a colour, one-by-one. But there are both technical and user-interface reasons why each is suited to different tasks. Now, both tools are pretty flexible, and to a certain extent, you can (try to) use either one for purposes it’s not designed for. If you’re a sound designer, or a musician working in certain genres, you want Hokusai Audio Editor – especially when version 2 is released. If you’re a podcaster, journalist, educator, public speaker, etc, you want Ferrite Recording Studio. I could get into more technical details of the differences (and later, I will) but I think most people want a more high-level overview.

But no-one did – even months after release, still nothing.īut I recently announced that a major update to Hokusai is around the corner, and suddenly lots of people are asking. I mean, it’s understandable that people would ask: both Ferrite and Hokusai are iOS apps that let you record and edit audio. )Īnyways, thanks for making it available for free.It’s funny, back when I first announced Ferrite Recording Studio, I was expecting a whole bunch of folks to ask how it was different from Hokusai Audio Editor.

Makes it difficult for reporting problems, comparing app version, etc.ĭear programmer, please make an effort to follow common Mac guidelines better, and we may have a winner. Version information in the Finder's "Info" window is wrong - it doesn't list the actual version number. Once a selection has been made, one cannot simply drag either border to extend the selection, despite the cursor shape suggestion such an action. Cannot create a selection by first positioning the cursor at one end, then using a Shift-Click to define the other end. Cannot drop a audio file onto the app to open the file. It appears not to follow the most simple Mac UI guidelines, such as: Still, even this program has some annoyances in its usability: Finally, I tried this one, which let me get to what I needed. Then tried Audacity, whose downloaded dmg file would not mount (open).

First I downloaded WaveJelly, which required me to register despite it being free -> I tossed it. I searched for a tool that would quickly allow me to measure the time distance between two events in a recorded sound.
