December 18, 2019

Descript 3.2 is now available! Here's what's new.

Compression and EQ Effects

Now you can add add track-level effects in Descript. Use our Compressor to smooth out volume levels and make your voice sound broadcast-ready, and use our 10 band EQ effect to add clarity, remove hiss, and more. Each effect is fully customizable, and comes with a set of useful presets to make your audio sound better with a single click.
