kesera.Edit release notes

Version 1.9

in progress Preview · coming soon

BetterVoice as a plug-in for GarageBand, Logic & Co. — and third-party plug-ins in kesera.Edit on the Mac.

New

●BetterVoice as a plug-in (AUv3) — The voice channel strip runs inside other apps: GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis and more — on iPhone, iPad and Mac. No separate download, no separate purchase: the plug-in comes with kesera.Edit. Automation, factory and custom presets, fixed latency.
●Audio Unit plug-ins on the Mac — Open installed AU effects (UAD, Sonnox, FabFilter, iZotope …) in kesera.Edit — with the maker's interface. Preview in a loop, apply to the selection or the whole file — and every step can be undone.
●Customize the effect bar (Mac) — Show, hide and arrange effects and plug-ins as you like.
●Videos via “Share” — Share a video from Photos, Files or another app to kesera.Edit — the audio opens as WAV in the editor.
●Markers stay in the file — Saving as WAV stores markers as cue points and reads them back on opening — from Audition, Reaper & Co. too.
●Chain and Check — Measure and adjust against ACX/Audible, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and broadcast; export converts to the required sample rate (e.g. 44.1 kHz for ACX).

Improved

●Presets everywhere — Limiter and equalizer in the shared preset menu with saving and loading as files; Normalize with presets for streaming, podcast, audiobook and broadcast.
●iPad — Markers and the volume sheet like on iPhone.
●Mac — Volume window (mute to +12 dB) and channel levels for stereo to mono.
●DeClick — Detections in red in the waveform on iPhone and iPad too.

Fixed

●Mac — While opening, title bar and tab show “reading …” instead of provisional values.

Version 1.8

November 2026

DeClick, audio from video, markers, LUFS and presets — the big workshop update.

New

●DeClick (Pro) — Detect and remove clicks and crackle — vinyl transfers included. AI check with its own Core ML model, “Listen to removed only” to verify; a single selected click can be removed precisely, and the automatic mode learns the sensitivity from your example.
●Audio from video — “Get audio from video” on the start screen — from Photos or Files. The soundtrack opens as WAV in the editor, 5.1 is mixed to stereo.
●Markers — Set flags, jump to them, rename them and select from marker to marker; markers move with every edit (iPhone and Mac).
●Presets — SoundsBetter, High-pass, Compressor, Leveler, De-esser, DeClick, Pitch and BetterVoice: built-in presets, save your own and share them as files — right in the kesera.Edit › Presets folder, no file dialog.
●Normalize to LUFS — New mode per ITU-R BS.1770 with true peak and targets for streaming, podcast and broadcast.
●Volume slider — The speaker button in the iPhone editor opens a slider from mute to +12 dB with preview instead of muting right away.

Improved

●Limiter 2.0 — Input · process · output, look-ahead, soft knee, auto gain, true peak and an analysis with a recommendation.
●Stereo to Mono 1.2 — Signal view on top and level per channel.
●Bypass while previewing — Compare original and result directly, with the B key on the Mac.
●Level bars — Per channel behind the dB scale, with a clip field (iPhone, can be turned off in Settings › Editor).
●Plug-in pages — Version number in every effect header, new card style with cross-head screws, preview progress runs clockwise around the button.

Fixed

●Scroll wheel — Now sits below the waveform in the iPhone editor and no longer covers fade points.
●Meters and playhead — Follow what you hear — output latency, Bluetooth included, is compensated.
●Previewing a selection — Now loops inside the selection only.
●Leveler — No more overshoot at the start of the file.
●Limiter recommendation — No longer drifts down when you analyze again.

On the Mac

●DeClick on the Mac — Detections marked red in the editor (E key), remove a selected click precisely (K key).
●Open videos — Open a video or drop it on the window, or use “Get Audio from Video …” (⇧⌘O).
●Markers and right-click — M sets a marker, ⌥←/⌥→ jumps; right-click in the waveform offers cut, copy, paste, selection and silence.
●Settings — New section with Pro, General, Editor, Waveform, Playback and About.
●Windows and keys — Effect windows as tall as their content, drag fade points right in the editor, a progress bar when opening files, ⌘X/⌘C/⌘V/⌘A act on text fields.

Version 1.7

October 2026

Studio, BetterVoice, Equalizer, turntable video — and kesera.Edit now for iPad and Mac.

●BetterVoice — A complete voice channel strip in six modules: preamp, high-pass, compressor, de-esser, enhancer, gate.

●Turntable video — The cover spins on a platter — four models, 18 / 33⅓ / 45 rpm, the tonearm lowers and the music starts with the needle. Plus presets for podcast, story and YouTube.

Improved

●Effects on the selection — With a selection an effect applies only there, otherwise to the whole file.
●Fade — Drag curve points right on the waveform, double-tap adds and removes points.
●Waveform — Shows every applied stage — you see what you hear.
●Recording — Input routing for interfaces with mini meters, selectable sample rate and bit depth, storage meter with remaining time, optional playback always through the iPhone speaker.

Fixed

●Preview — The play button loops the change instantly, every knob is live; only Apply writes it to the file.
●Video export — Audio as a video for sharing: cover with crop and zoom, title, artist and equalizer.

Improved
