Music Making Software

I signed up on the business lite plan which is not a cheap decision. I own a training organisation that specialises in health. The first 4 learner resources we converted converted without an issue but than we started getting errors. We now could not convert more than 15,000. We now could not convert out text because it had the word 'drug' in it or the names of body parts or it would not convert text, without any reason why. I then connected Murf and, in summary, was told too bad. Murfs response was to change our content. So now we had to change the real name of body parts, or health terminology to suit Murf, what a joke. Even worse, I paid for 50 projects and although I have only been able to successfully convert 8 projects, my licence says I have converted 23 projects because this system counts the failed attempts as a download. Do not use this software and do not believe the 5 star reviews, particularly if you are trying to use this software to convert learning material for people with learning difficulties, MURF does not care.

Murf is not solving any of my issues. They are in total denial. I just throw aware over $1200. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still find it a struggle to find the right mix for best sound quality episodes. Each episode seems to fluctuate and it is hard to adjust any audio settings once you are recording. I have found that often it will sound good during record or when I run a quick test but then the final edit ends up crackly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not sure I have seen any problems within the features I am using that need to be resolved. Their customer support is awesome and quick though when something arises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After three years of repeated complaints and requests for improvement, Descript's AI engine still "goes rogue" with the same types of phrases. This is not unique to Descript. I've seen it with other products as well, and they all have a similar response, that the LLM model is always "learning" or "trying to learn" to improve the outcome, and there's no way to control the specific issues I've complained about and "teach" the AI engine to type exactly what it hears. But I don't buy it. Other responses have repeatedly suggested less-than-clear audio is to blame, which has *never* been the case.

What adds to my angst about this behavior is it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but at least 50% of the time, and these particular issues are patterns that cannot be overcome with macros or other editorial clean-up automation because you do not know which are incorrect until you listen to the audio. It greatly slows down the proofing-to-audio process to have to correct these issues that are not "listening errors" but rogue AI decisions.

In no particular order of importance:

"OF" WITH DATES:

Spoken: "January 1st of 2021" or "January 1 of 2021"

Sometimes transcribed: "January 1st, 2021" or "January 1, 2021"

ORDINALS ADDED OR REMOVED:

Spoken: "January 1st, 2021"

Sometimes transcribed: "January 1, 2021"

Spoken: "January 1, 201"

Sometimes transcribed: "January 1st, 2021"

CONTRACTIONS:

Spoken: "I haven't heard a response."

Sometimes transcribed: "I have not heard a response."

Spoken: "I have not heard a response."

Sometimes transcribed: "I haven't heard a response."

I have recently discovered another AI engine that transcribed these types of phrases with 100% accuracy, using the same audio that had been run through Descript with a 50% or more error rate. So it certainly IS possible to tweak the AI engine to transcribe exactly what is spoken and not what it thinks is better.

Another issue I have is the limited usefulness of the Transcription Glossary feature. It does not allow the use of numbers, for starters. In my work, I get a lot of the same words or phrases that include numbers, such as Rule 404(b), which Descripts transcribes as 4 0 4 B or 4 0 4 b. It also seems arbitrary in how it interprets and applies words and phrases in the glossary, applying them some of the time and ignoring them other times when it is clear that it should have. For example, if I know the audio will include many references to "Joann," and I add that to the glossary, I might get 15 instances of "Joann" along with several instances of "Jo Ann" and "Jo Anne."

The big carrot that keeps me tied to Descript is the ability to remove duplicate words. It never removes all of them, but it removes enough to greatly reduce the time needed to remove them during proofing. This is not something that can be easily automated, so I continue to give more weight to this feature than I probably should. In the case of the other AI engine that I also use, the carrot in that one is the unlimited upload hours per month feature, which is significant (Descript's subscription model is limited to 30 hours per month). But I am continuously on the lookout for an AI engine that checks all the boxes for transcription accuracy, ease of use, overall cost, and removing repeat words.

Automating the transcription process has been a blessing for my productivity because my hands are in constant pain from years of abuse and progressively worsening arthritis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is more of a nitpicky comment about some of the editor’s features. For instance, it would be helpful to have an option to "snap" audio files together with millisecond precision or the ability to cut multiple audio tracks simultaneously instead of one by one. This doesn't take away from the overall user experience, as I do further editing after recording outside of Podcastle as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saves a ton of time between scheduling, recording and then editing a podcast episode, as I don't have to do everything separately with a bunch of different tools. Same goes with any sort of transcription, as the text versions of the podcasts come in handy for other aspects of my job.

Saves me a significant amount of time by streamlining the whole process of scheduling, recording, and editing podcast episodes, as I no longer need to do everything separately with a bunch of different tools. The transcription feature is also a huge plus, as having text versions of the podcasts is super useful for other aspects of my job (e.g., content repurposing).

It can do so many things I don't even know about yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it to record narration and edit tracks for a podcast. I usually use five tracks: narrator's voice, intro music, outdo music, host track, and guest track. When I'm done it exports everything as a single .wav file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have found to Camtasia Audiate is when using the AI audio scripts, it doesn't allow for intonation adjustments. I'd also love to see Audiate further develop its background noise removal feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am doing my own voice overs for all of the content we are creating for the different departments at my company and I have zero experience with audio recording or production. Audiate has allowed me to create studio quality voice overs to make our training videos professional. I was also originally writing out all of the transcripts but with Audiate and its new ability to generate the transcripts it has been an entire game changer.

The user interface is not at all user friendly. Audacity does not have a lot of features required for proper audio mixing and mastering, and even the existing features are not easy to find because of the poor user interface. For example, audio automation, automation for panning to adjust settings within a single track is not possible. Not an easy tool to use. Cannot import a file which is not in mp3 format.

Helps in basic editing of podcasts and music with track layering, editing, noise reduction etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Fl Studio is a great software, It takes a lot of disk space on my HDD and also uses a lot of memory. But I think that it's not a big deal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to create instrumental beats that local artists in my area find professional and use in their albums. It's really a great tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The company pays for a subscription, but it can be quite expensive for individual users. There are a lot of features in this software that I don't use. I remember pressing multiple buttons to find the features I needed, and I felt that the interface was designed to be a little complicated. Very occasionally, I've experienced crashes and stability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve worked on a significant amount of recorded audio, much of which contains unwanted noise. Eliminating this noise from the original recordings can be quite challenging. Fortunately, Adobe Audition enables me to effectively reduce noise and compress audio to achieve high-quality results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not really like mixing vocals take a lot more time than it would in Pro Tools, like their reverb plugins aren't necessarily the best. I wholeheartedly believe Logic is better for making beats and doing the overlay of producing something. But that's just me because I have seen people master songs in Logic with vocals in less than 30 minutes. But I feel the Reverb could be better and the mixing process with vocals shouldn't be so tedious. But making beats? Oh, Logic can do no wrong in my humble opinion. Out of all the DAWs with that I have to go with Logic. But I humbly feel its not the best for mixing vocals. I actually had to get plugins to mix my vocals in it better. But I'm definitely not going to smear Logic Pro though, but I will be honest that it need better plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has helped me be able to easily find my love for beat making. Bringing songs to life that are in my head even without live instruments and using to create songs. As I said in 2016 when I first started using it in college me and Logic was inseparable. It still is more than ever because when after using Bootcamp on my Mac and it messed up my computer settings to bounce in Pro Tools. Logic was the DAW that helped me pull through and still get the job done. Logic also helped me record the audio for my audio for my Podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I realized a very serious challenge when I started using the software on Desktop Computers.

There was a time that power was suddenly interrupted which made the computer abruptly shut off.

By the time I switched it on and loaded my Project, Studio One says the file is corrupt, so I couldn't load the project again and it has happened consistently. So I'm now careful to use the UPS and backup my project regularly. That has been my major challenge with Studio One. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Music Producer, Studio One has helped me in creating amazing music for my clients.

One of the least likeable things about Power Sound Editor is its outdated user interface which can be confusing and difficult to navigate for some users. Additionally, some users have reported that the software is prone to crashing and can be unstable at times. The software also lacks some advanced editing features compared to other audio editing software, which may be a limitation for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power Sound Editor is a software program that is designed to solve a variety of audio editing and recording problems. Some of the problems it addresses include:

Tengo ya bastante experiencia con Ableton Live. Quizás algo que resulta un poco incómdo es aveces el nivel de latencia en vivo porque exige bastante RAM en equipos no tan modernos. Pero esto es una cuestión de actualización del hardware si te lo puedes permitir. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Llevo muchos años usándolo y además de otros DAW, sigue siendo mi preferido porque se puede producir y crear Live Sets con mucha velocidad y profesionalismo. La gran mayoría d eDAWs en el mercado se especializan en solo una parte de la industria. Ableton te permite expandirte a más niveles de creatividad y de interpretación todo en uno.

The UI probably seems a little outdated, but that's really just a style thing. It's not an issue in terms of usability, just looks a little dated. Also, even though I can open any ridiculous number of audio files for editing at the same time, there doesn't seem to be a way to apply the same action or tool to more than one of them at a time. Ideally, I'd be able to apply a tool like Noise Reduction to every file I have open (or at least selected files). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I record live voice narration for use in tutorial videos, I need an easy and effective noise reduction tool to clean up the audio from my live mic. I can't afford an expensive sound stage with acoustic treatment covering the walls and whatnot; I just have a desktop pro mic, a reflexion filter, and a pop filter. So I still get some background noise (e.g., from my desktop computer, which has plenty of cooling for the video rendering hardware). GoldWave lets me clean up all that noise so you don't hear the room or any background sounds (within reason). Using the Noise Reduction tool I can clean that stuff up with about three clicks. The resulting audio files sound much crisper, cleaner, and more ... direct. I bought my license GoldWave license some time ago, and it's well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish RX provided more education on using the tools to get the most out of them. This would be especially helpful for the video space when you are not an audio professional. I hope they expand AI into the tools for more advanced but simplified help over time. If they offered cloud upload, processing, and download for video or audio clips would be great too to make workflows even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use RX to clean up the audio for video. I use it as a plugin in Premiere Pro daily. It works in real time with any audio, which is fantastic. If you need deeper editing or the file is long I would recommend opening it directly in the RX app and export it back to Premiere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using this application daily. I have faced a few issues with the integration. It took so much time to integrate with other applications apart from that it is a very good application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Auphonic mainly works with the audio podcasts and editing the large audio's. Its noise and reverb reduction feature eliminates ambient sounds and unwanted background noises with the help of an advanced AI denoising algorithm and gives crystal-clear audio. We can also filter the unwanted frequencies with the help of the Auto EQ algorithm which automatically analyzes and optimizes the frequency spectrum. These all features play a major role and help in saving time and reducing audio post-production costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
