C‑1U PODCAST
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.
