Ferrite or Hokusai?

Wooji Juice make two apps for recording and editing audio, Ferrite Recording Studio and Hokusai Audio Editor. Which one should you use? It depends on what you’re trying to do.

The short answer is:

  • If you’re recording or editing a podcast, radio show, audiobook, lecture or similar, look into Ferrite.

  • If you’re creating sound effects, samples for use in music production, or other highly-detailed editing work on short clips, check out Hokusai.
