It supports most major iOS file formats, and allows simple drag and drop between plugins. The editor allows you to import audio from a file or the system clipboard, as well as the ability to record incoming audio. As an editor it supports all the usual functionality you would expect as well as being able to edit samples on a per sample basis at extreme zoom levels. Neon also contains a number of built in effects that can be applied to the whole file or a selection. Effects can be previewed and tweaked prior to applying an effect. Neon can also be used as a clip launcher within an AUv3 Host, with the ability to remotely trigger one shot or looped samples. The Warp function can automatically adjust the tempo of a clip to the host tempo without affecting pitch. Neon also features a slicer which allows you to cut up a sample into multiple slices that can be played back via an incoming MIDI controller. ○ Record directly from other plugins. ○ Auto Start via trigger level supported. ○ Set maximum recording lengths in Beats / Seconds for perfect loops. ○ Drag and Drop Support between apps. ○ Drag and Drop selections to other apps. ○ Slicing and warping of audio. ○ Auto Sampler ○ AudioShare support. ○ Built in Effects. ○ Supports loading of external AUv3 effects (standalone mode). ○ Export to WAV, M4A, MP3 and FLAC formats. ○ Warp / Time Stretch functionality for syncing to host. ○ Host Sync. ○ Media Bay file manager for organising your clips. ○ Ability to set short name and colour in AUM. ○ Configurable MIDI Support for clip launching. ○ Supports iOS General Clipboard operations ○ Run multiple instances ○ LUFS measurement.

However, it suffers from UI/UX readability issues, missing or flaky standalone recording, stability problems (crashes and glitches), and uneven support/documentation. Inconsistent behavior between standalone and AUv3 also appears. If these gaps are addressed, Neon could become an essential iOS editor. ### Pros - Bars-and-beats timeline with warping for precise editing. - Advanced slicing, warp, and MIDI playback in AUv3 with LUFS metering. - Strong AUv3 support and robust standalone workflow. - Rich feature set praised as one of the best iOS editors. - Active development with frequent updates improving capabilities. ### Cons - UI/UX issues and readability problems on iPhone (unintuitive interface). - Standalone recording is missing or unreliable (record button disappears; mic permissions). - Stability problems: regular crashes and glitches, especially with long files. - Help/support/documentation is hard to reach or outdated. - Inconsistent behavior between standalone and AUv3 (slice playback/feature gaps). ## Similar extensions and apps - [Wavebox Audio Editor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1577078380) — 4.40 / 5 - [Audio Editor: Mp3 Cutter](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760206984) — 5.00 / 5 - [Audio Editor - Multitrack](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1470897069) — 3.00 / 5 - [Neon Engine](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758552019) - [Audio Editor - AI Music Editor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6478355076) — 4.30 / 5 - [ReAudio - Audio Editor & Mixer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758688812) - [Neon Noise Lab](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1559236592) — 5.00 / 5 - [Audio Editor, Multitrack Lab](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1589559510) — 4.30 / 5 - [Audio Editor - Music Booster](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6502448933) — 4.60 / 5 - [AudioLab Audio Editor Recorder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6738717212) — 3.90 / 5 - [Lexis Audio Editor](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1259401721) — 4.60 / 5 - [au editor - audio cutter](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6461416218) — 4.70 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1583946986)
