iVox
iVox is a Mac desktop audio editor for real-time wave slicing and vintage tape-style edits on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs.
Overview
iVox is a Mac desktop audio editing application built around real-time wave slicing for vintage tape-editing effects. The homepage describes it as the first app dedicated to making 1980s-style tape edits and positions it for users interested in multi-edits.
