4. Your First Podcast
Start to produce your first podcast by recording your voice or an
acoustic instrument. Adust the recording level as required:
◊
Under Windows, you control the mic level via the Volume Control panel
(shortcut: loudspeaker icon found in the taskbar).
◊
On Mac OS, you set the mic level using the Audio Midi Setup.
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 click on the record button in the application to create
a new track and record everything you pick up with your microphone. 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!
