Holy shit. That was the best demo video I’ve ever seen.

@boaticus That's pretty much exactly what I said in my head before I scrolled down and saw your comment!

Hi everyone! Andrew here, CEO of Descript. When we started Descript a few years ago, this is the release we always had in our minds - an end-to-end podcast production studio wrapped in a user experience that was as approachable and flexible as a document. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster or a newcomer, we hope you'll download Descript and give it a try - we've found it really makes you interact with audio in a new and more creative way. I take that back: by joining forces with Lyrebird, this release turned into something far beyond what we could have imagined. With the release of Overdub, you can now correct your voice recordings by typing. It's the first of many AI-powered features we plan to ship together to reduce the friction of creative expression. You can try a demo and sign up for the beta here: descript.com/lyrebird-ai I'll be hanging around the comments today (and so will the Lyrebird founders, The Lyrebird founders, @kundan2511, @adbrebs and Jose Sotelo) to answer any questions you might have.

@kundan2511 @adbrebs @andrewmason Holy Moly! Are you folks for real? That's the best video ever. Also, the SaaS has a great free version. You mean business. This is EXACTLY what I need to finally start that podcast. I'mma singin' up.

@andrewmason absolutely love your product but the last 2 encounters with your customer service/helpdesk people has left me cold - to the point I wont be using your software past my renewal date of next year. I dont know if you outsourced it or your people are stressed or reading from scripts but MAN - They're ruining what is otherwise a pretty amazing prodcut.

@kundan2511 @adbrebs @andrewmason I've been geeking out about DeScript for the past 3 days straight, it's revolutionary. I don't use this word much. But it is. Just mindblowing. From the trailer (Sandwitch videos are the best) to the tutorial inside the product itself, to the UI that's amazing, to the editing experience which makes editing audio and video as simple as editing a word doc, to the AI generated voices, to the insance OverDub feature, to the fact that everything is synced to the cloud all the time. Just... Amazing all around.

I've been looking for a tool that would allow me to "type" podcast ad reads and output with my voice to save me time and avoid long approval delays. I'll have to give the new Descript a try.
Scott Mathson
@rrhoover an entire AI-generated ad, interesting! Let us listeners know if/when you try this. Definitely curious to hear accuracy of this beyond more than a few words hear and there.

An emoji representation of my face as that video progressed: 🙂🤨😐🤭😯😍🤯☠️

This looks amazing—congrats on getting it here, folks! I've been looking at Descript since the early days and seeing it turn into such a mature and futuristic take on audio editing is awesome. Major kudos for the video too, it's hilarious. I'm guessing it was Sandwich's work? :)

@mostlymarius yes, it's sandwich! We are so grateful to work with them.

Descript is an incredible tool. Within minutes of finishing a podcast recording I've got the episode transcribed and ready for editing. The transcription's good enough that I can find unimportant sections of the recording and delete those (non-destructively) without even listening. I can smoothly switch between casual, broad-strokes editing, nuanced sweetening of individual sentences, and audio enhancements like pan and volume adjustment. The Descript team has been incredibly responsive to user feedback while also pursuing a clear product goal, keeping the interface easy to use and organized. Thinking back to how long it used to take me to edit a new episode, Descript's simply a joy to use.

How does this not have more up votes!

Holy shit.

So excited to see Descript move in this direction. What's the recommended process for remote multitrack recording? Can you still record your end straight into Descript and add the other half of the conversation later?

Thanks, @nathang! The best way to record remotely straight into Descript: https://help.descript.com/en/art...

That's a sick introduction video. 🤯 Congrats! 💪🏻👏🏻
Ayoze Pérez
Wow. No words. If some day I make a podcast, it will be my first place to go. And awesome video
E.b. Rosner
Super Cool...Can we have an app too?
Rogue London
OMFG. That is an award winning demo for sure. Who scripted and created it????? Also... Overdub... Seriously a game changer. Congrats to descript abd lyrebird. Amazing.
Thibault Marty
Hey, I just test, very impressive but other language is support ? Like french ?
Dion Segijn
Love everything about it! Question, any chance of supporting foreign languages in the near feature? The thought of having podcasts transcribed to dutch is already amazing.
Laurent Perrier
Do you have any plans to offer a way to generate a video version using a background image, an automatically generated waveform and burnt-in subtitles? It seems like you have most of the pieces to make this happen, and currently it's a lot of repetitive manual work to do it in video editing software. Something like this: https://twitter.com/naval/status...

Great shoutout this AM on Podnews newsletter and podcast. Cool demo video of James from Podnews showing recording of today's episode within Descript Studio - https://youtu.be/ksqtW3imaq8 Curious if any plans to develop/release webapp version atop downloaded offering?
Dave
This demo video is better than the last three movies I saw.

Love Descript to create transcriptions and audiograms. I haven't gotten used to it as my primary editor (but maybe someday!)
