U-CONTROL UMA25S PODCAST QUICK-START GUIDE
Your first podcast
Start to produce your first podcast by recording your voice or a tune played on your keyboard. The built-in audio interface of the UMA25S controller lets you vary the input level of the audio material you’ve picked up through the headset’s microphone to achieve the optimal recording level, while you monitor the sound with the headphones. Using the included Audacity recording software, you can record, edit and save your sessions to your computer’s hard drive. Simply click on the record button and Audacity will automatically create a new track and record everything you pick up with your headset’s microphone or from any other sound source you’ve connected to the interface. 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.
Load the audio file into the energyXT2 Compact application, which enables you to add multiple tracks (please be aware of copyright issues when using material that is not your own) and master these to a single, final stereo track. Since the energyXT2 Compact software supports VST plug-ins, you are able to use VST effects to process your audio material.
Now that you have a final version you would like to publish as a podcast, go ahead and compress your audio file to the MP3 file format (after you have installed the LAME encoder) or convert your file to an available audio format of your choice. Simply open your audio file in the Audacity software application and use the Export command in the File menu to save your file.
To publish your podcast, make your new file available online. Upload the generated file to a server with the Podifier software, which assists you to create a feed for your file, enabling you to enter such information as your podcast’s URL and title. The feed of your podcast can finally be made accessible to the public by posting it, for example, to an Internet portal. Congratulations, you have just published your very first podcast!
