Support for Apple's Audio Units plugins or VSTs would allow the use of your own custom processors and effects. (I'm on a Mac, obviously)

Reach out to me (dev) for help in noise gate design. I've worked with several software devs and hardware devs to design proper noise gates. Former partner of Adam Curry on Podcaster Pro. Use email in account.

I'd like to add a related topic for eliminating unwanted noises. It would be great to be able to filter out a recurring noise throughout a recording, such as a clicking noise, or some recurring background noise. I'd like to be able to copy a specific noise and then have Descrpt suppress it throughout the recording.

Would be very useful. Have been using AirPods Pro as the mic and there's a low level fuzz that's in the recording, would want an easy way to clear that out.

Seconding this. It has an important side effect too: the tools used to machine-generate transcripts seem to dynamically adjust volume, so I am getting inaudible bleed-through (in my case from radio station interference!) being transcribed! I was able to solve this by preprocessing my file with a noise gate, but it might be wise for Descript to make some judgments about ignoring very, very quiet sounds.
