Riverside is built to capture clean, high-resolution audio and video during a recording session, which matters a lot for interviews and remote conversations. What it isn’t built for is removing the ums, restarts, and dead pauses that happen no matter how good the capture quality is. TrimTake picks up exactly where recording ends: upload the file, whether it came from Riverside or anywhere else, and get back a version with the filler words and dead air removed.
