Unify loudness levels across your recordings so you never leave listeners reaching for the volume knob.
Get started
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
01
Start by creating or opening a project. Drag your audio file(s) in, or record directly into the workspace. Once it’s there, Descript will analyze and prepare your tracks for editing.
02
Look for the mastering or enhance settings that allow you to adjust loudness, target levels, and speech thresholds. Enable the audio normalizer so your entire track sits at a consistent volume.
03
Give it a quick listen. Tweak levels if you notice pops or dips. When it sounds right, simply export or share. You’ve just used the audio normalizer to unify your track’s running volume, saving your audience from the dreaded volume rollercoaster.

No one loves awkward volume jumps. The audio normalizer ensures each segment meets your chosen loudness, so your show sounds cohesive from start to finish.

Loud bursts or quiet whispering leads to a lot of fiddling with volume controls. Normalizing helps your listeners focus on your content instead of adjusting levels.

If you’re juggling multiple voices, normalizing helps every speaker stand out just right. No more overshadowing or barely audible guests.
Descript’s advanced features let you fine-tune every detail before or after you normalize your audio.
Push or pull frequencies in your track to highlight vocals or tame boomy backgrounds. A couple dB in the right spot can transform your sound.
Turn on AI noise reduction to sweep away buzzes, hums, keyboard clicks, or dog barks. Make your voices front and center without heavy lifting.
Automatically nudge your speakers’ quieter lines up, and ease louder ones down, for smooth transitions that keep your listeners hooked.
Share your project link so teams and clients can preview your normalized tracks, leave comments, and suggest changes—all in one place.
With a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and a bunch of distinctions on G2, Descript’s users have declared it an industry standard in the video and podcasting world.
