What to consider when choosing podcast software

The best podcast software turns your recordings into studio-quality podcasts seamlessly. Choose software with high-resolution video and audio recording. We suggest a minimum of 720p HD video and 44.1kHz audio resolution. If you’re creating podcasts on the go, make sure your software records locally. Local recording stops internet issues from affecting the quality of your recordings. For fully secure files, use software with progressive uploading and cloud storage integration. 

Besides a seamless recording setup, you’ll want editing that’s simple. Look for easy-to-use editing tools that can automatically polish your podcast’s audio and video. This can include background noise suppression, customized backgrounds, and quick clip creation. If you’re podcasting live, make sure there are live editing soundboard options too. Podcast software with automatic podcast transcriptions can also save you a lot of time and money and is great for repurposing your podcast.
