Feature request for basic audio track editing controls within Recordly's video editor.

Technical Positioning
Enhancing Recordly's capabilities as a "professional product videos, demos, and tutorials" tool by integrating essential audio editing functionalities, reducing reliance on external software and streamlining the production workflow.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This feature request for basic audio track editing controls (volume, mute/solo, fades, waveform visualization) addresses a significant workflow friction point in Recordly. The current lack of these controls forces users into time-consuming trial-and-error or reliance on external software, directly impacting video quality and production efficiency. Market implication: for a tool positioned for "professional product videos, demos, and tutorials," comprehensive editing capabilities are expected. The absence of fundamental audio controls creates a competitive disadvantage and limits its utility as a standalone solution. Integrating these features is crucial for meeting professional user expectations, streamlining workflows, and enhancing Recordly's market competitiveness.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Add basic audio track editing controls

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I'm always frustrated when I need to adjust audio levels or mute tracks while editing videos. Currently, the lack of basic audio track controls makes it difficult to synchronize audio with video clips or to manage background music effectively. This often leads to a time-consuming trial-and-error process, which disrupts my workflow and affects the overall quality of my projects.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to see the addition of basic audio track controls within the video editor. This should include features such as:
* Volume adjustment sliders for each audio track
* Mute and solo buttons for quick audio management
* Fade in and fade out options for smoother transitions
* A visual waveform representation of audio tracks for better editing precision

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I have considered using external audio editing software to manage audio tracks separately, but this adds unnecessary complexity to the workflow. Additionally, some competitors offer limited audio controls, but they still do not meet the needs for comprehensive audio management directly within the video editing interface.

**Additional context**
Implementing these audio track controls would greatly enhance the user experience and efficiency of the video editing process. It would allow editors to make real-time adjustments and improve the overall sound quality of their projects.

Same here, i am using Fedora.
ferdianfariza • Mar 16, 2026
same issue, they said "Linux currently use Electron's capture path, which means the OS cursor cannot always be hidden during recording." so i think is the reason why but idk lmk if this can be fixed

[fix(linux): restore cursor follow with linux bounds + hook mouse cache](https://github.com/webadderall/Recordly/commit/a648c3fecaab290be8b96d412053b9a23f1937e5) Let me know if this changes anything
