Good audio editor for beginners

Pros

The software is incredibly easy to use. I was able to start editing audio files right away. It's so simple that it really speeds up the editing process.

Cons

It's cloud based, so you need internet access to use it. While it is easy to use, it lacks some advanced features that more complex systems offer, like audio processing options, equalizers, and advanced effects.

Essential for editing podcasts

Pros

Descript is great for collaborating with our production team on edits, pulling soundbites etc. It's also nice that it has its own app and storage system, especially since most files are quite large.

Cons

Combining multiple files from a podcast for editing can be a bit tedious.

Nice option for making professional demo videos

Pros

I use Descript for screen recordings and software demos. The speech-to-text transcription feature is fantastic. You can edit the video side-by-side with the transcript editor, and any changes made to the text sync with the video. The automatic cleanup for vocal disfluencies or hesitations ensures the final result sounds clean and professional. I also use the transcribed talk track to auto generate subtitles and share it with coworkers to help with written content creation.

Cons

Video processing takes a while, requiring a lot of computational resources, which reduces the time savings when recording. The user interface can also take some time to figure out if you're new to Descript.
