Restoration of multi track recording?
S
Sir Gene
It seems that before the 'new' version of Descript came out we were able to use 2, 3 or more audio sources for true multi track - multi mic - recording in descript with each podcast guest having their own mic. Unless I'm missing something - and I looked deep - that feature was deleted! Simply to be replaced with a single channel mic and a single channel 'computer speaker' option. WHEN will the feature that we always had previously going to be restored to the 'new' version? I have been doing a lot of remote interview lately and so just now noticed it was taken away when the UI changed to the new (not really better) version. But for doing serious podcast recording in studio, that feature was one of the things that made Descript competitive with Adobe products. Please bring back!

Returning to podcast recording after a break and shocked to realize that 2-mic, 2-track recording using Scarlett 2i2 is no longer possible in Descript. This is the standard for in-room / studio podcast recording. Don't understand how or why the feature was removed (it seems fundamental?), and we'd need it back asap.

In older versions we could record with two mics and edit separate timelines for each recording. Please bring this feature back, losing it has nearly ruined my workflow in Descript.

Multiple Mic Inputs for Local XLR Mic Recordings

It used to be that Descript allowed multiple inputs for mics (and XLR mics), and you could choose those inputs without needing to setup an aggregrate device. I would like to be able to do that again. Having multiple mics that record on the same track when recording in person is really nice!

I bought Descript because google said it had multi-track recording and now it turns out it doesn't. I'll have to cancel my subscription until this gets added back in because it's a requirement for my podcast. It's so strange it got removed in the first place?

This is an absolute MUST!!!

Bring back mic settings in record to allow for multichannel and stereo recordings

I used to be able to record multichannel in stereo with my mic and mixer setup. The most recent version eliminated that option and makes me record in mono. This is a massively screwing up my workflow now requiring me to record in a new composition, layer pan to 50%, export, and reupload. Please change this back to the way it was. I've been using Descript for years and adapted to every update in the app until this one, which made the experience way worse.

Not sure why you guys took that away?

Since the latest update, I can no longer record separate multitrack inputs. Everything is now put on a single channel. It's creating a bunch of extra work and some things can't even be edited out, like a guest making some unwanted noise, because I can't just edit it out of their track. In the past, I could use my Zoom H6 as a multitrack audio interface and select multiple channels to record to separate tracks. I could also choose the audio output device for monitoring. That has also disappeared.

Add back support for multiple audio inputs

The recent update removed the ability to record multiple audio inputs as separate tracks, which is essential for my editing process. Removing functionality without warning is never a good look. This means I have to do my recording in a separate app, which adds a whole other step and removes my backup recording process as well. Please add this capability back in.

Removing the ability to record multiple audio inputs in the same room is what I and many other Descript users require for podcast production, and without this feature, it makes Descript completely unusable for these purposes. It's a simple basic feature available in nearly ANY recording software so I don't understand why it would be removed. If Descript is getting more expensive and removing basic required features, I and I'm sure many others will need to go elsewhere for our software needs. I don't assume that's something Descript cares about, but come on — you can still add all your fancy bells and whistle features to impress investors or whoever is pressuring you to overly optimize while retaining the (I reiterate) most basic required features of a recording and editing software. Please.
