One of the newest crazes in technology is called podcasting. Due to the fact that making a podcast is based on RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and its simplicity in creation, it is likely that this technology will be well-used.
Follow the step-by-step guide outlined below to teach you how to make a podcast by creating your audio and converting it to MP3:
1. Create the audio content you wish to use
The content you choose to record can be anything you want: music, audio books, lectures, sermons, interviews, radio-type shows, etc.
Podcasting allows you to use any configuration of audio you desire. This is one great positive about podcasting. It also doesn't matter what software you use to record your audio content. One choice for IBMs is Audacity. Audacity is free and allows you to blend an assortment of audio files.
For Macintosh, GarageBand is a great option because it too is free and useful. Make sure to save your audio at the highest quality possible in the original format of the audio. By doing this, you can retrace your steps to edit or reuse it.
Adapt your file to MP3 format
After you have recorded your audio content, the next step is saving it into MP3 format. The MP3 format is the norm for podcasting. Most people only use MP3 formatting, so if you have an important reason for using another format, no one else will be able to use your podcast.
It is best to use the minimum bit rate to get your wanted results. Below are some suggested settings: For audio books, talk radio, interviews, sermons, etc., use 48-56k mono For music, music and talk combos, use 64k stereo 128k Stereo - higher quality music
When you save, make sure you utilize an .mp3 file extension. Now you have the knowledge on how to make a podcast that is ready for publishing.
