Podcast Academy – The #1 Source for Podcast Education

I recommended this plugin over a year ago on a past edition of The.Point. Based on recent inquires, I thought it would be a good idea to post some information about it once again. If you are looking for a multi-band compressor plugin for Audacity for example, I suggest you check out the C3 Multi-band Compressor. You can set proprietary crossover points, adjust each band of compression independently, and engage the included peak limiter. There are some useful presets that will help you understand how to get the most out of this plugin. The package consists of both VST and AU versions. Best of all – it’s free. It’s posted as ‘donationware’.

I looked around for a sleek, yet simple audio file player that I can use to audition clips, spots, beds, podcasts, etc., mostly for production purposes. I couldn’t find anything that interested me. I found some basic code for media file playback, designed the UI and built the application below. I call it audioFile. It’s nothing fancy. In fact there is no drag and drop support, just traditional file import, no volume, no pause. However it does exactly what I want it to do with very little fuss. To be honest, I am striving to integrate the concepts and funtionality of upTimer and audioFile into a much more robust application. It’s an arduous task to say the least … to be continued …
