When I'm editing multi-track audio, if someone coughs while the other one is speaking, there is currently no way for me to just snip it out as I would normally be able to in a typical DAW.

I want to be able to view the transcript view AND the sequence view at the same time—and have them play in a way where they're synced up.

Sequences could be greatly improved by making the transcript edits reflect on the sequence—thus making it possible to edit in multiple ways at once.

If one of my clients coughs while the other is talking, I have to switch views completely, find the time stamp where it happened snip out the cough, switch back to the transcript view, and edit from there. If it was included in the transcript view, I would be able to see where it happened in the sequence view, cut it out via the sequence view, then go back to the transcript view.

Making this change would literally make Descript my exclusive software for editing. This would make it head and shoulders the best software on the market for audio editing.

I've attached a rudimentary design of what I'm talking about. The basic idea would be to have tracks work the same way they do in other DAWs, with the transcript view still visible above them. When you press 'play' on the transcript, it would move the playhead on the sequences view as well as the standard way (highlighting words in the transcript). Then, any edits made in either window would show up in the other—for example, if you cut out a word in the transcript view, the sequence view (still synced in position) would cut it out as well.

This could also have some broad implications for multi-window editing. I use multiple screens (as many editors do) and maybe this is a different window that could be separated out in order to maximize what we're able to see at once.
