Adobe's Project Shasta is an AI-powered, web-based audio editor

Adobe is testing out a new web-based tool that uses AI to simplify audio recording. The software is called Project Shasta, and it could make recording and editing podcasts and other projects a lot easier and more approachable. The project started off in Adobe Labs as an experiment to find "new ways to help people edit audio on the web," Mark Webster, Adobe's head of audio products, wrote in a post on Product Hunt. "But then it became clear that the pandemic made recording difficult too, even for audio professionals. Our vision became empowering everyone with the tools they needed to create professional sounding audio."
