Free vs Pro

The free (Lite) version is a complete recorder and single-track waveform editor.

Audio Editor Pro turns it into a full multi-track audio studio — a mini audio

workstation inside WordPress — built for storytelling, podcasts and sound design.

  • Up to 5 minutes per recording

Pro version — the multi-track montage studio

  • Multi-track mixing: up to 4 tracks with per-track volume, mute, solo and automatic mixdown
  • Cursor-precise montage: drop an uploaded file, a Sound Library pad or a new recording exactly where the cursor is, in the active track — place a jingle, a sound effect or a narration line at the right instant
  • Sound Library: one-click jingle and music-bed pads prepared in the settings (radio-style mixing)
  • Audio effects: fade in/out, normalize, silence
  • Live waveform while recording, with REC indicator and timer
  • Unlimited recording, plus reliable export of long audio (15–30+ minutes) to a clean MP3
  • Download audio as MP3 for your users
  • Guest (logged-out) submissions and re-editing of existing audio ([user-audio-edit])
  • 7 design templates + full color customization (20+ shortcode attributes)

🚀 Upgrade to Pro

Build audiobooks and tales with narration, sound effects and music beds, produce

podcasts with intro jingles, or layer voice-overs — everything in the browser,

then mix and export in one click.

Turn the editor into a multi-track studio with Audio Editor Pro.
