After an extended run as beta software, Übercaster, the all in one podcast production suite has reached version 1.0. This application provides an abundance of useful features that producers will find very attractive.

The Übercaster workflow consists of four layers: Prepare, Record, Cut [edit], and Release. The Prepare layer is where the producer prepares the workflow by importing clips destined for a production. You have the capability to map keys to each reference module in order to engage clips in real time. In the Record layer [while recording], you can trigger clips at specific intervals. This alleviates manual assembly in post. The entire session is routed to a recording bus creating a real time mix. The mix would then move to the Edit layer and will be represented as a multitrack project. This provides all the necessary flexibility that may be required in order to maintain an efficient post production session. The final Release layer is designed to function as a distribution platform. You can incorporate metadata, encode audio, and upload to a server via FTP. Übercaster supports AU plugins, audio Ducking, Enhanced Podcast production, and Skype/iChat/Gizmo integration.

Besides it’s abundance of features, this application has a unique and ultra cool aesthetic design. If you require a real time production concept tool, or just an efficient method of program production, Übercaster warrants serious consideration. It’s highly recommended.

Übercaster is available for purchase and download for $79.95 US.
