Learn the A-Z of Descript for beginners

Descript is a game-changer for making podcasts, allowing producers with minimal experience to tackle editorial work. In this online workshop, experienced editor and producer Shawn Allee will familiarize you with Descript’s core features for transcription, clip management, and editing. He’ll also walk through how to export a project to traditional audio mixing platforms (like Audition, Reaper, Pro Tools, and Hindenburg) for final processing — no matter the workflow. 

You will also have the opportunity to try out the tools we review in class with a piece of tape you’ve been working on.

Required: Descript accounts at the Creator level or higher. You must have downloaded the program and logged in prior to the session. See: https://www.descript.com/pricing. You should also bring some MP3 files you can work with during class. Wire headphones recommended. 

* This class is capped at 10
