Here’s a list of music apps that can use the iOS ‘Open In…’ function to open audio files in other applications. This can be done with any app that supports ‘Open In…’, the Dropbox app is just being shown as an example. In the Dropbox app, you need to have the file starred (stored locally) before you can use open it in other apps.

Twisted Wave is another audio editor with “open in” functionality.

Cool, just added it. :)
Do you know what audio formats it will open? It’s app store description says “WAV, AIFF, CAF and AAC audio support” so I’m assuming it would open each of those from email / Dropbox, but just thought i’d see if you knew- I don’t own it!

Roland’s excellent – and free! – Air Recorder (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-recorder/id518996624?mt=8) is lean and mean. It doesn’t have a lot of features, but instead just focuses on recording, opting for “open in…” functionality for more advanced features. This allows you to open recordings in other apps to, for instance, upload to DropBox or Evernote or edit with Hokusai.
It really feels like the future of iOS. I just wish that the SoundCloud app supported “open in”.

Cool, I’ll add it to the list- does it have built-in Dropbox support? B/c i’d like to add it to that list as well: http://www.iosmusician.com/2012/05/regularly-updated-list-of-ios-music-apps-that-support-dropbox-2.html

Nope. No built-in Dropbox support. But I find that “open in..” works better than most apps built-in Dropbox support.
Also, no email support – which is kind of a bummer. But maybe iOS 6 will have “open in…” support in the Mail app. We can always hope!
