Release notes – new stuff all the time.

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”

November 20, 2023
LATEST RELEASE

New upload experience, new export experience, and more

New Feature

It’s not the sexiest feature. It’s not even the hardest to build....

But if you’re a startup you have to make hard trade-offs.

Sometimes your wants get pushed back by your musts.

And so today, after 12 months of hearing you ask for this time and time and time and time again, it’s here.

You can now see the status of uploads with a progress bar.

It may look like a tiny feature, but we solved it in a big way.

In fact, we completely redesigned the uploading experience...

🔄 New upload experience (progress bar and bulk uploads)

We overhauled the uploading and processing experience in Resound. The new project card shows a progress bar, you can do bulk uploads, you can keep working on other tasks in Resound while new projects upload in the background, and more.

⬇️ Export projects in the background while you work  

You can now export projects in the background while doing other tasks in Resound, get an email when an export is ready to download (or easily opt out), and download your most recent export faster in a single click.

✅ Filler Sound Detection V0.7.1

When we released V0.7 about a month ago it was our most accurate model to-date, but it also was much slower, which was causing some of our users to have projects fail. We optimized the model to be 4x faster which resolved any bugs related to projects failing. You can now enjoy all the new accuracy without the bugginess.

🖇️ The big small stuff…

Uploading, processing, and enhancing is far more reliable. Fixed a bug where Enhance failed due to long file names. Fixed bug causing app to get stuck loading waveforms. You can now delete your account in settings anytime (but plz don’t!).

  • 🫠 Mid-episode meltdowns
  • 🎹 Sections of music

Whatever your reason, Resound now lets YOU trim audio in a few simple clicks.How does it work? Just right-click your mouse on the waveform and adjust your edits. It’s that easy.

✨ Mix and master your podcast with Enhance

New Feature

Mixing and mastering your podcast audio is HARD work. That’s probably why you’re reading this in the first place.

In the past, removing background noise, balancing the volume of speakers, removing unwanted frequencies, and achieving a professional sound for your podcast meant you needed to learn audio production from the ground up. You needed to get a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), and learn how to use plugins like equalizers, compressors, spectrograms, and more.

It was a LOT of work.

But now there’s an easier way: Automatically mix and master your podcast in Resound in minutes, using AI.

One more update: If you’re editing a multitrack project, Resound now exports a merged file by default. But if you want to export individual edited tracks you can still do that by clicking “export individual tracks” on the export modal.

Enhance is temporarily free but will be a paid feature in the future. Try it for free today!

Introducing Silence Detection: Cut boring silences in seconds

New Feature

It doesn’t matter if you’re recording a 3-hour interview or a bite-sized monologue.

In the world of podcasting...

Pace.

Is. 


Everything.

The bad news: Fine-tuning the pace of your audio is boring and takes forever.

The good news: You can automatically find boring silences and tweak the pace of your podcast in seconds with Resound.

Automatically detect silence in your audio in seconds.

Identify all silences longer than 3 seconds that might bore your listeners.

Remove silence while keeping a natural pace.

Resound leaves 1 second of padding whenever it detects silence so that you don’t strip out the human element of pace.

Cut them all in a click or review one-by-one.

Only cut the silences that bother you, and leave the rest. You’re in control.

Filler sound detection v0.5.1 is here!

New Feature

We’re excited to announce that we updated our filler sound detection model in Resound to be even more accurate and less work for you.

Filler sound detection v0.5.1 greatly reduces the number of incorrect edits. That means you should have less edits to review, and less edits marked Keep. You’ll also notice more accurate edit boundaries (start and end times).

See how it works on your voice today!

Try v0.5.1 now

🏃‍♀️ No more chasing the cut/keep button around

New Feature

Editing your podcast in Resound is about getting your time back. But one friction point we discovered recently was that you had to chase the cut/keep button around when you were editing, which caused some annoyance and took more time.

Now the review button sits in the middle of the editor and doesn’t move. It’s a small change but a big improvement.

But that’s not all. We’ve taken a lot more of your feedback into account. So let’s dive into what’s new in Resound:

🔐 Password requirements now get checked off as you type.

No more guessing if your password is strong enough. As you type the requirements will be checked off one-by-one.

✅ See your last export time and number of tracks.

Hover over the green checkmark in the project list to see the last time you exported a project. You’ll also see how many tracks are in a project in the project list and the editor window.

💰 Introducing our private affiliate program.

We’re alpha testing an affiliate program that is by application only. Reach out if you think you’d like to share Resound with your audience to make money.

🩹 Last but not least, we fixed some paper cuts.

We fixed a lot of little bugs and made some subtle improvements to the app. For example, we got rid of the “restore” edit state so you simply choose between “cut” or “keep” each time you review an edit.

April 28, 2023

Cut and Keep are the new Accept and Ignore...

Enhancement

We heard a lot of feedback that the editing terms “Accept” and “Ignore” in Resound were confusing. We totally agree, so we just rolled out a new change to fix this issue. 

✂️ Cut and Keep are the new terms used in the editor instead of Accept and Ignore.

🟥 ”Cut” means this audio will be deleted

🟩 ”Keep” means this audio will be left alone

🟦 A blue edit means it's unreviewed

March 27, 2023

Filler sound detection v0.4 is here!

New Feature

Filler Sound Detection v0.4 improves the accuracy of filler sounds detected (e.g. umm) while also reducing the number of filler words (e.g. you know) detected. This subtle change sets Resound up to give you even more fine-tuned control over your edits in the near future. Try uploading an audio file with v0.4 to see how well it detects filler sounds in your voice.

March 20, 2023

New Feature

January 23, 2023

Filler Sound Model V0.3.0 is here!

New Feature

Version 0.2.0 introduced breath detection to the app as a byproduct of how we built it. We heard from users like you that these breaths were more of a distraction than a value-add, so we removed them. Now you can upload audio and enjoy the same overall performance of filler sound detection without the distraction of reviewing breaths.

January 12, 2023

Drag and drop files to upload

New Feature

Edits made on single-track view will be applied to both tracks so that tracks are kept in sync.

New waveform loading indicator
