Now available to all in beta! https://www.descript.com/studio-sound

Jason Ogle

Andrew Mason: This looks like a(nother) game-changer. 👏

Andrew Mason: thankyou! So,can I ask why is still only in beta? would it be updated in the regular version of descript please?Do I need to download a new version of descript? I have themost updated version and is not showing up ;(

Richard F Mazurowski

Andrew Mason: the question is how can I get in the beta I can’t find any option to register ?

Jeroen Vonk

Andrew Mason: Thanks! I tested it and for remote recordings it works really great! For in studio it doesn't work but I think that's normal.

Is the noise reduction (beta)only for video? I downloaded the file, installed, but it doesn't show up in the sidebar

Andrew Mason

xx: nope it's audio as well - if you hop in #audio-editing in our discord community I can help you troubleshoot https://discord.gg/AYe6sBd

Hey everyone, super excited to announce that this is now available in beta! 
Dying to get your feedback - you can download the beta app here: https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042638691-The-Descript-Beta-Program
To access, open the file from the sidebar, and then check "Enhance speech."  Let me know how it goes!

Aaron Hanson

Andrew Mason: this works so well! very impressed with the output

Justin Vincent

+1 on a simple noise gate, that's all it needs.

D'Ana Joi

Would love to see this feature added via the current equalizer settings. I don't have a fancy mic so this would be immensely helpful. Veed.io has a tool called "clean audio" that is fantastic. Descript should definitely look into adding this feature.

J Ojibwe

D'Ana Joi: Wow that service include a lot of stuff that Descript doesn't. Custom fonts! Custom Watermarks! Brand Colours!

Only thing I can see I don't like is... Pro accounts to 6 hours of transcription every 30 days.

Richard Pennington

This might be useful in a basic capacity, but as someone who uses this in conjunction with Audition & Izotope RX, it's not useful. Anyone who's already involved with audio will not need this; DIY'ers may find it useful, provided they don't destroy their audio with it.

Richard Kershaw

Richard Pennington: I'd agree with you normally, but Descript's Audition export isn't great in terms of maintaining edits right now, so Descript tends to be the final stage of my edit.

Kevin Perry

Richard Kershaw: I also have Pro Tools and Izotope, but my workflow generally has any audio clean-up taking place first, with final editing in Descript.

If noise reduction in Descript is good enough, or the audio just isn't that bad - it will be a useful feature and allow me to save that step in the workflow...

Nono Martínez Alonso

Kevin Perry: Same here. When editing audio for podcasts or carefully-made videos, I pre-process audio in Audition.

When I don't worry as much about the end quality — like for quick live stream recordings or video tutorials — I think a noise reduction/noise gate effect in Descript can be handy.

Andrew Lefkowits

Add support for AU plug-ins and anyone can use any noise reduction plugin they want. Personally, i find iZotope so much better than any other option I’ve tried, I don’t know that I would use something proprietary.

Side benefit, people who want noise gate, better EQ / compression, etc - would have it available.

Harry Hawk

Would rather have direct support for Auphonic https://auphonic.com/engine/

Nelson Chen

I've been using this to pretty good results: https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice .

I don't have an Nvidia card in my Intel NUC so I can't use RTX Voice. This is the next best thing, works on Windows, and it's even all open source software.

Bryan McNeil-Walker

Yes a simple noise gate would be sufficient.
