The podcast rig that I show below, is one way to do it. (Since the photos below were taken, I have added a Macintosh Mini computer and a Tapco Squeez compressor, and I have purchased a Zoom H4 portable recorder -- very cool device that could be all I really need to podcast!) You can get by with a lot less equipment, and many podcasters purchase a lot more in their goal for high production quality.<br /><br />Anyway, this link is to a very comprehensive and readable, and free, website that covers most everything that you might want to consider in starting or improving your podcast. Just remember that you can vary considerably from what any podcaster tells you about how to podcast.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Audacity Tutorials</span><br /><ul><li>Partners in Rhyme - <a href="sub=Audacity&cat=Adding%20Audio%20to%20Projects&sno=20">How to Use Audacity</a></li><li>El Dorado High School Online: <a href="http://www.edhsonline.org/other/audacity/index.html">Audacity 1.2 Tutorial</a> - includes videos </li><li>NewsForge: <a href="http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/17/1633214">Mastering Podcasts with Audacity</a><br /></li></ul>The Travel Geographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17374093285849135840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25109654.post-1154271466128017322006-07-30T07:57:00.000-07:002006-07-30T07:57:46.230-07:00PodcastersWiki.com<a href="http://podcasterswiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page">PodcastersWiki</a><br /><br />This wiki (open edited) website is created by podcasters as a reference source to help new and experienced podcasters.The Travel Geographerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17374093285849135840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25109654.post-1148800606759093432006-05-28T00:16:00.000-07:002006-07-10T13:20:00.790-07:00FindSounds - Search the Web for Sounds<a href="http://www.findsounds.com/">FindSounds - Search the Web for Sounds</a>: "Welcome to FindSounds.com, a free site where you can search the Web for sound effects and musical instrument samples."<br /><br />Someone at the eLearning Institute Workshop asked me about finding free sound clips online.

Latency is the delay between when you speak and when the sound is received in the headphones. I could not use headphones while podcasting until I got the Edirol UA-1EX.<br /><br />There is a line splitter coming out of the "phones" jack of the Tapco mixer. One line goes into the Edirol, and the other can be connected to an mp3 recorder to create a backup recording. I use an iRiver IFP 890.
