Editing a take’s style to Serious with two passes; the original take is kept

Re-generating a take to fix its tone can change everything else too. Editing keeps the voice and the words, and changes only what you ask for.

What you can change

  • Emotion: happier, sadder, angrier and more.
  • Style: whispered, serious, like a radio host, and others.
  • Pace: a little faster or much slower.
  • Sounds: add laughter, breathing, a sigh or an “uhm” exactly where you want it in the line.
  • Denoise and Remove silence to clean a take up.

How it works

Press the wand on a take, or choose Edit Take from its menu. Pick what to change and how many passes to run, then press Edit Take. The edit plays as it’s made and is saved as a new take beside the original, labelled with what changed, for example “Edited from take 1 · Whisper ×2”.

Direct it from the start

Several models take direction before the take is made too. Breeze TTS 2 accepts a written direction like “warm and unhurried”, and models such as Higgs Audio v3, OpenAudio S1 Mini, Fish Audio S2 Pro and Orpheus understand emotion and sound tags in the script itself.

Questions

Which takes can I edit?

Any take up to 30 seconds long, from any model, as long as you have Step Audio EditX on your Mac.

Do I lose the original?

No. Each edit is saved as a new take of the same script, marked with what was changed. The original stays as it was.

Can I make an effect stronger?

Yes. Choose more passes, from one to five. Each pass makes the effect stronger and takes a few seconds.
