Earlier press releases:Podcast production application Übercaster hits version 1.0 today. This follows a significant period of private and public beta testing, during which time the application has already built a reputation as a powerful yet intuitive application for recording and producing podcasts.
Übercaster is a complete production suite for podcasting on the Macintosh.
It lets podcasters prepare, record, cut and release their shows the way they'd expect it. The days of overloaded and bulky recording environments are over.
Made for podcasting
Leave your garage and feel at home. Übercaster has been made with podcaster's needs in mind. With its versatile options podcasters may record their show the way they're used to and profit from Übercaster's advanced cut and release tools. One may also take advantage of Übercaster's groundberaking live audio recording. Auto ducking, effects, chapters for enhanced podcasts, ID3 tags, album cover art, mp3/AAC/AIFF encoding - you name it. It's all there. Seamlessly integrated.
Appealingly easy
Übercaster bundles its awesome features in an eye-inpiring, innovative and easy to use software. Thanks to a clear and smooth interface, podcasters can jump right in and record their episode. All the goodies are waiting unintrusively in the corner and are there when you need them.
This makes Übercaster perfectly suitable for both, newbies and advanced users.
Pure bred Mac application
Übercaster uses the Cocoa framework and is completely written in OS X's native language Objective-C . So its look and feel are pretty familiar. Moreover it benefits from powerful technologies like CoreAudio, CoreImage, Accellerated Framework and multi threading.
Other main features of Übercaster v1.0:
- Thanks to templates you don't have to start from scratch. Just use a previous project and you are ready to record.
- Define multiple microphones and a special input panel for iChat, Skype and Gizmo recording.
- Import and play soundclips, pre-recorded material and sound effects live.
- Optional "Stealth mode" enables you to start and stop audio clips or change volumes without clicking the mouse.
- Edit your show in a full featured and easy to use multi track editing environment.
- Encode podcasts as MP3, (enhanced) AAC or AIFF and upload them to web servers (via FTP, .Mac, etc.) at once with a single click.
- Save your project as an archive which contains all audio you've used in your episode.
- And much more...
Übercaster v1.0 requires a Macintosh with a G4, G5 or Intel CPU and Mac OS X v10.4.4 or later.
