PODCAST & RECORDING QUICK-START GUIDE Creating a Podcast Now you have compiled and installed all the software needed to start your first podcast release. It may take some time to get used to the process, but you will get better with practice. Here are the basic steps to take you from nothing but hardware and software to a syndicated podcast that other online users can download and listen to. 1. Record your podcast using the DAW recording program of your choice. Make sure to select your USB audio device as the incoming and outgoing audio unit in your DAW's setup menu. You may incorporate everything from speech to music and sampling (beware of copyright issues when borrowing audio from other sources). 2. Once you are done recording and editing your podcast, you may export the audio as a single stereo master track in MP3 format (if your DAW supports this) and save it to your hard drive. 3. If your DAW does not support direct MP3 output, you can export the stereo mixdown in WAV or AIF format and save the file to your hard drive. Open the stereo master track in an audio editor such as Audacity and export it as an MP3 file (in case of using Audacity, this requires the lame_enc.dll codec). 4. Using one of the previously mentioned podcast producing software options, upload your new podcast track to a server, which will make it available online. 5. Post the podcast to various feeds and Internet portals where other people can download and listen to your new podcast! Need additional help? Beginners can learn a lot from other podcasters or recording specialists online. There is a wealth of information available on forums, online articles and tutorials, YouTube videos, etc. (just search"audio recording basics","podcasting guide", etc. into a search engine). The process is very streamlined and user-friendly, but varies a bit depending on your specific software and publishing destination, so specific tutorials online may give more detail than what can be provided in this quick start guide.
