I'd love to be able to add/remove Studio Sound for portions of files and recordings. An example of when this might be useful is when Studio Sound doesn't have the desired outcome on sections of your recording. I'm working on a project now where I was tapping a book while I said something about it. Studio Sound did it's best to make this sound smooth, but it isn't perfect so it chopped up what I was saying. I don't want to remove studio sound from the whole file, just this 1 or 2 seconds where it didn't quite perform as we'd hope.

I’d love the ability for producers to adjust a guest’s volume live during a Rooms recording, not just in post-production. This is the only caveat I have with Descript Rooms as opposed to Riverside. This would help keep levels consistent between guests which is a very common issue for me. Is this something that could be added?

See attached video - if I change punctuation preceding a word that is in all caps, it will make the second letter in the all-caps word lowercase.

Currently, Descript resets the internal UI layout to default values every time the app is launched. For users on high-resolution displays (like 4K), the default panel sizes—especially the Timeline height and Sidebar width—are often inefficient. I have to manually resize the Timeline and Script panels every single morning to reach my preferred "working state." Please update the app to remember the last-used dimensions of all internal panels (Script, Canvas, Timeline, and Sidebars) across sessions. This would eliminate the daily setup friction for power users.

Buzzsprout now allows video upload but Descript has no option to do so. Is there any way this can be updated?

I have recently seen some great improvements / more accuracy to my transcripts. I just wanted to give that positive feedback and say thank you.

I want to be able to paste in place. Every time I copy an element it pastes somewhere I don't want it.

If there's laughter or unknown words after transcription, the Shorten Word Gaps feature wants to remove those sections, leaving a choppy edit if you wanted to select "Apply to all". For example, in this screenshot, the name "I-17" (a road here in Arizona) isn't recognized and would be cut if I used the "Apply to All" option.
