  • πŸ™ˆ Sensitive content

  • πŸ€ͺ False starts and bloopers

  • πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Guest-requested edits

  • 🫠 Mid-episode meltdowns

Whatever your reason, Resound lets you trim audio in a few simple clicks.

FAQs

How do I undo or delete a manual edit?

If you make an edit on accident or change your mind you can simply click on the edit and you will see a button appear beneath it to "delete" that edit. Any edit you create yourself can be fully deleted, but edits that Resound detects in your audio can only be cut (removed from audio) or kept (left alone).

This is the only way that manual edits are different from the AI edits in Resound.

Can I add a crossfade between edits I create?

Resound automatically adds a tiny crossfade between each edit you create when you export, whether that is a manual edit you make or an edit that Resound detected and you marked as "cut." You cannot add your own crossfades into Resound, but under the hood Resound will automatically add a tiny crossfade between each edit.

This automatic crossfade ensures that your edits sound smooth, however, there are still some situations where even the best crossfade will not make a smooth-sounding edit. If you have a lot of background noise or reverb in your recording then it can be much harder to make smooth edits, so we recommend double-checking how your work sounds as you go through the editing process.
