The problem
Trimming a song shouldn't be this hard
You just want to cut a song or tidy a recording. Instead you get uploads, nag screens, bundled extras or a studio's worth of menus.
Upload it to cut it
Online MP3 cutters want your song or voice memo on their servers, with upload limits and a wait at both ends.
Nags and bundled extras
Free editors that keep pestering you to upgrade, or installers that bring along software you never asked for.
A studio's worth of menus
Big editors bury a simple trim under projects, tracks and exports. You finish the edit and still don't have a file.
Dialogs full of numbers
Type values, apply, listen, undo, try again. Effects you can't hear until you've already changed the audio.
Ringtones are a puzzle
Finding the chorus, keeping an iPhone tone under 40 seconds, the right .m4r format, then getting it onto the phone.
A subscription to trim a song
Monthly plans for a job most people do now and then, renewing whether you use them or not.
Vow Audio Editor fixes all of it.

FAQ
Questions about Audio Editor
Is Vow Audio Editor really free?
Yes. Cutting, fading, volume, normalise, every format and the ringtone maker are free, with 5 saved files every day and no watermarks. You can try and hear every effect and cleanup tool for free too. Unlimited, a one-time $9.95 USD payment, removes the daily limit and lets you save with effects, noise cleanup, multitrack mixes and batch processing.
Does it upload my audio?
No. Everything happens on your own PC. There is no account and no upload, so it is safe for interviews, voice memos and unreleased music, and editing needs no internet connection.
How do I make an iPhone ringtone?
Open the Ringtone page and drop a song. The best part, usually the chorus, is chosen for you. Drag the window to adjust it, choose iPhone ringtone (.m4r, up to 40 seconds), set the fades and press Save ringtone. The app then shows the steps to get it onto your phone, which Apple requires Finder, iTunes or the Apple Devices app for.
Can it remove background noise?
Yes. Noise reduction learns the noise from a pause, or finds it automatically. There is also a hum remover that detects 50 or 60 Hz, a click remover, a rumble filter and a tool that shortens long pauses. You can try them all for free; saving with them needs Unlimited.
Will editing change my original file?
No. Your edit is saved as a new file, "song (edited).mp3" by default. The original is only replaced if you choose to save over it on purpose.
How is it different from online cutters and big audio editors?
Unlike online MP3 cutters, nothing is uploaded and there is no upload limit. Unlike big studio editors, saving is the main action, not exporting a project, every tool has one main control and a Preview button, and the ringtone maker finds the chorus for you. There is no subscription either: Unlimited is $9.95 once.
What formats can it open and save?
It opens MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, FLAC, OGG, Opus, WMA, AIFF, AMR, APE, WavPack and more, plus the sound of MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI videos. It saves MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG and Opus with tags and album art, and ringtones as .m4r or .mp3.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The installer contains no ads, no toolbars and no bundled software, needs no administrator rights, and uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings.
