If you're working from a single track (i.e. all speakers in one flat file) it would be great to still be able to adjust the audio and tie it to the speaker labels. For example, if one speaker is sounding quite tinny, I could adjust their levels across the whole track by pinning that effect to the speaker label, so it would only affect their portions. I can't even begin to explain how much time this would save me!

Great news — an engineer picked this up during the Descript Telethon 2026! It's now in development. Stay tuned for updates.
