What to consider when choosing software for live podcasts

Podcasting live? Make sure your live podcast software ticks all your needs! Choose software that easily connects to any channels you want to push your live podcast to. This should be as simple as clicking a button or at most copying and pasting a stream URL. Pushing your live podcast to multiple platforms is a great way to grow your audience. We suggest using podcast software that offers multistreaming.

Check for custom RTMP capabilities as this gives you more options for where to push your live podcast. To keep viewers captivated look for engagement tools such as live calls or live sound effects. We recommend recording your podcast as you stream live so you can repurpose it later. Pick software that records in HD resolution and look for easy editing tools to polish your podcast recordings with.

What to consider when choosing an online voice recorder

The most important thing to consider when looking for an online voice recorder is quality. With the right audio recorder, you don’t need to compromise resolution because you’re recording online. Find online software with local recording that can record your voice in high resolution without worrying about internet issues getting in the way. The better your recording quality, the less editing but for quick fixes look for software that already comes with some easy editing tools.

You’ll want tools for automatic noise suppression, echo cancellation, and easy audio clip creation. The ability to download separate participant tracks is also helpful in giving you more editing control. Don’t forget to check out recording files’ formats. While MP3 audio is better when it comes to storage space, WAV files are crisper and better for fine-tune editing. Other than that, automatic transcription will save you plenty of labor time and a voice recorder mobile app will give you the freedom to record on-the-go.
