Audio editing on iOS, what's the app of choice these days?

What audio editors are people using on iOS these days? I used to use twisted wave, but I can't get it to quickly play and pause audio with the two finger double tap gesture. This puts a wrench in the works, because how can I start marking the audio I want to cut out if I can't quickly play and pause? I know there are a number of accessible audio editors for iOS out there, but which one is the least tricky?
Thanks

Hi there, I still use the tried and true Hokusai audio editor for my audio editing needs on iOS. Haven't tested it with a keyboard yet, though.

I actually played a bit with this app the other day and while I did find it a bit more complicated than editting on the mac, that is entirely due to me not knowing how to do things in the new system, but the app itself is quite good. It would be good if there were some written or even audio tutorials.
I have also heard good things about Ferrite, but have yet to use that one.

From what I can see, Ferrite and Hokusai have similar ways of doing things, which makes me wonder if both apps are created by the same developer.

I have heard of Ferrite at least having some keyboard support. Don't know if the same applies to Hokusai. Has anyone tried Goldwave on the iPad? On Windows it's a solid program. I tried to run it on mac, but it was very much made with a touch interface in mind, and couldn't wrap my head around it when trying to use a keyboard. But maybe with just touch, it will make more sense. Would be pretty awesome to be able to use the same app on both my laptop and iPad.

Keyboard support is customizable if you pay for Ferrite Pro. I personally don't like using keyboard shortcuts due to strange focus issues. I prefer the touch interface because I can always keep track of what I'm trying to edit without much fuss.
