The best apps to get native audio for tones, especially for language learning or vocal practice, include:

  1. Chinese Pronunciation Trainer - A free app good for practicing tones in Mandarin by shadowing native audio and recording your own voice for comparison. It grades tone accuracy and pinpoints errors. 1

  2. HelloChinese - Provides native audio for Mandarin tones with settings for practicing pinyin, characters, or both. Great for learners up to intermediate levels. 1

  3. Ling - Uses real audio by native speakers in all lessons for authentic tone practice. 3

  4. Cantone - An app that allows tone practice by speaking along with native examples, though it may have voice range detection issues for some users. 1

For music and vocal tone audio:

  1. Voloco - A real-time vocal tuning app with native audio effects and pitch correction for making voice sound better. 4

  2. DAWs like RipX, ACE Studio, and Vochlea’s Dubler 2 - These have advanced native audio tone detection and voice-to-MIDI conversion features to capture and manipulate native audio tones in singing or music. 5

If the need is native audio for speech tones (language), apps like Chinese Pronunciation Trainer and HelloChinese stand out. For music or vocal tone manipulation, Voloco and specialized DAWs are recommended.

Let me know if a specific category like language tones or musical tones is needed to refine these recommendations.
