Podcast Factory How-to Guide

Thank you for choosing the M-Audio® Podcast Factory. The Podcast Factory is your

complete, professional audio solution for any Windows or Macintosh computer. It

combines all the hardware and software you need to easily record, edit, and publish

professional-sounding podcasts. The bundle includes the Podcast Factory recording

interface, the M-Audio Broadcast Microphone with desktop stand, cable, and soft case,

as well as software for recording, editing, and publishing podcasts.

What Is Podcasting?

Podcasting is a term that describes a way for you to post audio content to a website

so your listeners can easily access it. Generally, listeners subscribe to and download

the audio content from the internet and save the ﬁles to their computer the same way

they would record a TV show on a VHS or DVD recorder. The listener can then use a

computer or MP3 player to play back the content.

The basis of a podcast is an MP3 ﬁle. In order to transform a simple MP3 ﬁle into

a podcast, you must use an XML text ﬁle technology called RSS (Really Simple

Syndacation). The RSS text ﬁle links to the MP3 ﬁle to include information about the date

the podcast was recorded, the title of the podcast, and the description of the recording.

This enables listeners to use various software applications to look for new RSS text ﬁles

and automatically download the newest episode of their favorite podcasts.

Start Creating Your Podcast

After you have unpacked all the items from the Podcast Factory, read through the included

Podcast Factory recording interface manual. This manual describes each component

included in the bundle and explains the steps for installing the USB recording interface.

Following the manual is the best way to successfully install the interface and become

familiar with its feature set.

After you have installed the Podcast Factory recording interface, it is time to connect

the M-Audio Broadcast Microphone. Plug the three-slot female end of the included

microphone cable into the bottom of the mic, making sure to match the 3 pins of the

mic with the 3 slots of the cable. After the mic is connected to the cable, turn down

all the levels of the Podcast Factory recording interface and then plug the other end

of the cable into the back of the recording interface. You may now connect speakers

or headphones to the recording interface as well. Next, we will begin installing the

software that comes in the Podcast Factory. Each software title has a speciﬁc function in

podcast creation that will be explained here.

Record Your Podcast Using Audacity Software

To install the Audacity software, put the black Podcast Factory CD into the CD drive (this

is the same CD that contained the Podcast Factory recording interface drivers). When

the Podcast Factory screen appears, click on the drop-down menu next to "Product"

and select "Audacity," then click the "Install" button below. This will install the Audacity

software in the same way that any other software is installed to your hard drive. It

allows you to select the folder where you would like to install the ﬁles, and gives you

the option of setting up a desktop icon. Simply follow the installation instructions that

appear onscreen.

In the Audacity software, there are eight menu selections at the top of the screen: File,

Edit, View, Project, Generate, Effects, Analyze, and Help. The Help menu contains a

complete Audacity manual that explains the deeper features of the program (including

how to edit and add effects to your recordings). The guide you are currently reading only

covers the basic features, so please refer to the full manual to access all of Audacity’s

features.

To get started, simply turn up the mic input and output level on your Podcast Factory

recording interface and make sure the mix knob is set to playback. On the top of the

Audacity software screen, click on the record button (the round button with the red

circle—third from the left). As soon as you press record, Audacity will create a new track

in the below window and record everything you say into the mic.

You will need to make sure you get the correct level on the mic input and output levels.

To set the level, simply adjust the knobs on the interface to suit your personal taste.

You may need to record and play back a test ﬁle a couple times until you reach a

comfortable level.

After you have ﬁnished recording, click on the File menu to save or export the ﬁle.

Be sure to check the Audacity website at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to look for

updates to the Audacity software that add features and functionality.

Preparing your Podcast with Podiﬁer

Now that you have recorded your podcast and saved it to your computer, the next step

is to add the RSS 2.0 text to your MP3 ﬁle, which converts it into a podcast.

If you have a server or website, or if you use one of the many online services that offer

server space, Podiﬁer will help you create an RSS feed for your MP3 ﬁle and publish this

ﬁle to the web. If you do not have your own website or access to a server, then please

read the next section ("Other Ways to Publish a Podcast").

Insert the green Podiﬁer CD into your CD drive. Click on the Podiﬁer icon to install it to

your hard drive and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. After

the installation, the Podiﬁer icon should appear on your desktop. Click on the icon to

start the Podiﬁer program.

The Podiﬁer interface gives you space to enter information and descriptions about your

podcast, including its URL, date, title, etc. When you are done entering this information,

click "Next." The next screen allows you to select an MP3 ﬁle by clicking "Add" and

selecting the correct folder and ﬁle. Podiﬁer will take your MP3 ﬁle and add the RSS text

ﬁle for publishing.

Many of Podiﬁer’s features are easy to understand, but if you need to learn more about

a speciﬁc item, click on the Help menu at the top of the Podiﬁer screen.

Other Ways to Publish Your Podcast

If you do not have your own server or access to a website, there are other ways to

put your podcast on the internet. Online services like BlogMatrix, AudioBlog, Liberated

Syndication, PodBus and Podblaze offer space to upload and store your podcast. Some

of these services offer free hosting while others will charge a small fee for different

storage limits. Please refer to the different web sites for more information. To use a

hosting service, simply sign up for an account and upload your MP3 ﬁles.. With some

of these services, you will not need to use the Podiﬁer software to generate the RSS

feed, simply record your audio ﬁle and save the MP3 ﬁle to your hard drive. Check each

service for details, and be sure to check www.m-audio.com for more information about

podcasting and publishing your podcast.
