Audio Editor
Veena is a free online audio editor for music with a personal music producer built in: cut, stretch, pitch-shift, tune and split any recording into stems in your browser, then let CoProducer build the rest of the song around it, as real tracks you can edit, mix and export.
Most audio editors hand the file back and wish you luck. Veena treats an edit as the start of a production: the loop you just tightened becomes the groove a bass line locks to, and the vocal you just tuned becomes the lead a whole arrangement leaves room for.
Every tool in Veena's audio editor
| Tool | Where to find it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Split | Press C, then click the clip | Cuts the clip where you click; delete the piece you don't need |
| Clip volume and pan | Double-click the clip | Sets the clip's own level and stereo position |
| Mute | Press M | Silences a clip without deleting it |
| Time-stretch | Drag the clip's right edge, or Match BPM | Changes the length and keeps the pitch |
| Pitch shift | The clip's waveform panel | Moves the audio up or down in pitch |
| Find Key | The clip's waveform panel | Detects the key the audio is in |
| Reverse Audio | Right-click the clip | Flips the clip to play backwards |
| Auto-Tune | Right-click, or the FX tab | Key, scale, amount, and a natural or hard style |
| Separate into Stems | Right-click the clip | Vocals, drums, bass and other on four new tracks, time-aligned |
| Effects | The FX tab | Reverb, Delay, Compressor, 8-Band EQ, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Distortion and Utility, plus your own plug-ins |
| Normalize | The Export window | Brings the export up to a consistent level |
Waveforms draw at every zoom level, so you can zoom in to the transient you're cutting on. Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes any edit, and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z brings it back.
Three edits musicians make every week
Fit a loop to the song. Drop a drum loop into a project that's already at 124 BPM and click Match BPM: it stretches to the grid with its pitch untouched. Import it into an empty project instead and the loop sets the tempo, since the first clip you bring in decides it.
Make an instrumental of your own song. Right-click the bounce and choose Separate into Stems, or ask CoProducer to isolate the vocal and you get two tracks, the vocal and everything else, lined up with the original. Mute the vocal, export the rest, and you have a backing track for the live set.
Tune a take. Right-click the vocal, add Auto-Tune, set its key and scale to the song's, and start at the default amount of 80% on the natural style. Push it to hard style for the effect instead of the correction.
When the edit is done, the producer takes over
This is where Veena leaves every other audio editor on this page behind. Tell CoProducer what the edited audio should become and it measures it first, tempo, downbeat and where the phrases fall, then writes the parts around it: drums that sit with your loop, a bass that follows its chords, pads that leave room for the vocal. It can also chop a recording into a new groove, turn a hummed line into editable MIDI, or re-voice a take as a different instrument. The prompt at the bottom of this page turns a single 4-bar guitar loop into a 32-bar lo-fi beat.
Free audio editors side by side (September 2026)
The limits below are quoted from each editor's own site, read on 23 September 2026.
| Veena | Audacity | TwistedWave Online | Kapwing | WavePad | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price to start | Free | Free | Free account | Free | Free for non-commercial use |
| Where it runs | Any modern browser, phones included | Windows, macOS, Linux download | Browser | Browser | Windows and Mac download |
| The free version's catch | None: no cap and no watermark on exports | A desktop install; AI comes as separate plug-ins | Mono files up to 5 minutes | Every export watermarked; noise removal is Pro | "Non-commercial use only" |
| After the edit | CoProducer builds the song around your audio | Edits what you bring | Edits what you bring | Edits what you bring | Edits what you bring |
Audacity is free and open source, "the world's most popular audio editing and recording app", but it's a download for Windows, macOS or Linux, now at version 4.0.0, and its AI tools, music separation, noise suppression and generation, arrive as Intel's OpenVINO plug-ins rather than in the editor itself (Audacity's site, September 2026). It edits the audio you bring; there's no producer inside to build the rest of the song.
TwistedWave Online runs in the browser, but "With a free account, you can edit mono files up to 5 minutes in length" (TwistedWave's site, September 2026). A stereo mix is already past the free limit.
Kapwing is free to start, but "If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports will contain a watermark", and its Clean Audio noise removal is a Pro feature (Kapwing's audio editor page, September 2026).
WavePad is a Windows and Mac download whose free version "is available for non-commercial use only" (NCH Software's WavePad page, September 2026). Anything you plan to sell needs its paid edition.
Cut it, tune it, split it, then produce it: that is the whole job, and Veena is the free audio editor that does all four.
The free stem splitter and the vocal remover pages go deeper on separation, the music editor page covers changing notes, instruments and structure, and the rest of Veena's free music software runs in the same tab. For the full studio tour, see the online DAW.
Try this in Veena
Take the 4-bar guitar loop on track 1, spread it across 32 bars and build a 90 BPM lo-fi hip hop beat around it: Brush kit drums with lazy swung hats, a Round Bass that follows the loop's chords, a Vox Pad underneath and a soft vinyl crackle texture. Drop the drums out for bars 17 to 20.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free online audio editor for music?
Veena, because it edits the audio and then keeps making the music. Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser.
How do I trim audio in Veena?
Press C to switch on split mode and click the clip where you want the cut; then select the piece you don't need and press Delete. To trim to an exact length, ask CoProducer, as in "trim the guitar clip to 8 bars". Veena keeps the change on the timeline, and Ctrl/Cmd+Z brings the cut part back if you change your mind.
Can I remove the vocals from my own song?
Yes. Right-click the clip in Veena and choose Separate into Stems: vocals, drums, bass and other land on four new tracks, lined up with the original. Want a karaoke version of your own track? Ask CoProducer to isolate the vocal and you get the vocal plus an instrumental. A full song takes about 45 to 120 seconds.
Can I change the speed of audio without changing the pitch?
Yes. In Veena, drag the right edge of an audio clip to stretch it and the pitch stays where it was, or click Match BPM to fit the clip to the project tempo in one move. Need the opposite? The pitch shift knob in the clip's waveform panel moves it up or down in semitones while the timing holds.
Which audio formats does Veena open and export?
Veena opens 13 audio formats, including WAV, MP3, FLAC, AIFF, M4A, AAC, OGG and Opus, plus MIDI files and video, whose audio it extracts. It exports a 24-bit/48 kHz WAV or 320 kbps MP3 of the mix, every track as stems in a zip, MIDI, and MP4 when the project has video, with optional normalisation.
Does Veena's audio editor add a watermark?
No. Veena adds no watermark to any export, on the free plan or Veena Pro, and there is no cap on how often you export. Kapwing's free plan, by comparison, puts a watermark on every export (Kapwing's audio editor page, September 2026). Your edited audio leaves Veena exactly as you made it.
