A new version of Descript is rolling out. This update introduces faster editing, transcription, importing, and exporting, instant AI effects like Eye Contact, Studio Sound, and green screen, instant project loading with 4K streaming, and cloud-based processing and storage that frees up your local drive.
The Quick Recorder is being redesigned and is currently unavailable in the upgraded desktop experience. If this is still available to you, keep in mind there may be slight differences to features and functionality
To quit the Quick recorder, you can close out the Descript app. However, if you have Run in background enabled in your Quick recorder settings, you must close the Quick recorder from the Quick recorder panel.
How to close the Quick recorder
- Open the Quick recorder.
- Click on
Settings in the top right of the Quick recorder panel.
- Select Quit. If you don't want the Quick recorder while the main Descript app is closed, make sure to disable Run in background.
