Getting started

Which editor do I use — Voice or Studio?

Use the Voice Editor for anything about what was said: filler words, pauses, wording, speakers, chapters. Use the Studio for anything about how the episode sounds: music, sound effects, ducking, effects, export.

Where
Both open from a project — the tabs at the top left switch between them.

The Voice Editor shows you words, not a waveform. The Studio shows you a timeline of clips and lanes.

Your edits carry over. Clean up the speech first, then move to the mix — every cut you made is already applied to the voice clip you find there.

Voice Editor — what was said

The transcript is the interface: filler words, pauses, wording, speakers, chapters. The audio sits above as a thin strip you rarely touch.

The same project on the Voice tab (underlined, top left): the transcript fills the screen — words with strikethrough cuts, speakers, chapters — and the audio is only a thin strip above. This editor is about what was said.
The Voice tab: words are the interface.

Studio — how it sounds

The same project, one tab over: lanes and clips. Voice on one lane, music ducking under it, sound effects and export — the mix.

The same project on the Studio tab (underlined, top left): a lane-based timeline — the voice waveform on one lane, music with an auto-ducking badge on another, SFX below. This editor is about how the episode sounds.
The Studio tab: the same episode as lanes and clips.
