I’ve been a dedicated user of Descript and appreciate the seamless audio editing experience it offers, especially the automatic microfades at edit boundaries to prevent audio pops. However, I’d love to have the option to adjust the default length and behavior of these microfades before processing audio.

Currently, the automatic microfades are applied at a fixed length, which can occasionally result in cuts that sound a bit abrupt in certain contexts. Allowing users to customize the default microfade duration or to add a fade type (e.g., linear or exponential) would enable even smoother transitions, especially when working with conversational podcasts or delicate audio edits.

This added control would enhance flexibility and allow for more efficient editing workflows without the need for manual adjustments on every edit. I believe this feature would be incredibly valuable to many audio editors who rely on Descript for professional-quality production.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and please let me know if you’d like any further feedback.
