Pause audio recordings in the Editor

To avoid having to clean up my longer audio recordings, I've been hitting stop between takes and then re-starting. But I see that creates a new clip in my media files for every take. It would be helpful to be able to pause audio recordings so that the end result is one single audio file

Pause button for audio recording

There's pause when recording video, why not audio? I'd like to hit pause while recording my episode and not have to stop completely, wait for it to transcribe, then start anew.

Agreed the same issue here, my cat is getting a lot of time in my recording I could avoid with a pause button

Fully agree. I don't understand why this is not already a feature 2 years later. Like Loom, Descript should offer 3 options: Stop. Re-start. Pause. I am wasting a lot of time cleaning text that I would have not recorded if I had the re-start/pause options

I agree with this feature request. I am trying to move towards using Descript from start to finish for my youtube tutorial channel. This means using the Descript screen recorder. I often need to pause while recording for various reasons, sneezing, coughing, restroom, taking a call, etc. And when I push the stop button, then record again it ends up being a pain in the butt to clean up and fix after transcribing. One issue is it creates multiple files, then you have to transcribe one at a time, and they often get put out of order so you have to cut paste them to fix. It would just be so much nicer if we could push the pause button. I have at least 5 other recording sofwares including Camtasia that all allow for a pause. Thanks for considering this.
