B-CONTROL DEEJAY BCD3000 QUICK-START GUIDE
Your first podcast
Start to produce your first podcast by recording your voice, an acoustic
instrument or music from your CD player or connected turntable. Your BCD3000
enables you to control the input level and equalize the material you've picked up
through the microphone, while you monitor the sound with your headphones.
Using the included Audacity recording software, you can record, edit and save
your recording sessions to your computer's hard drive. Simply turn up the levels
of the Microphone input and Main output of your mixer and click on the record
button in the application to create a new track and record everything you pick
up with your microphone or from any other sound source. Be sure to adjust the
input and output levels accordingly. After you have finished recording, you can
edit and then export the recorded material to a common audio format.
Load the audio file into the Kristal Audio Engine application, which enables you
to add multiple tracks (please be aware of copyright issues when using material
that is not your own) and master these to a single, final stereo track. Since the
Kristal Audio Engine software supports VST plug-ins, you are able to use VST
effects to process your audio material.
Now that you have a final version you would like to publish as a podcast, go
ahead and compress your audio file to the MP3 file format (after you have
installed the LAME encoder) or convert your file to an available audio format of
your choice. Simply open your audio file in the Audacity software application
and use the Export command in the File menu to save your file.
To publish your podcast, make your new file available online. Upload the
generated file to a server with the Podifier software, which assists you to create
a feed for your file, enabling you to enter such information as your podcast's URL
and title. The feed of your podcast can finally be made accessible to the public
by posting it, for example, to an Internet portal. Congratulations, you have just
published your very first podcast!
