So you want to become a podcasting superstar. With enthusiastic dynamism you have embraced all the latest computer technology. Now, at your fingertips, you have the ability to produce your show from your bedroom or local coffee hang. There is one slight problem, you yearn for the "Old School" way of production. Admit it, you wish you could carry around your old trusty cart machine. Retro is cool and we understand your need to get in touch with vintage greatness
Well, if you where born after 1982 you may not be familiar with cart technology, as well as, 8 track, cassette, and vinyl records, as these are all "Old School" artifacts of the trade. Soon to be in the same class is the Instant Replay, the modern cart replacement for radio folks. It's fast, easy and powerful, however, too expensive for a homegrown podcast.
All you need now is your laptop, a mic, and an inexpensive software replacement for the Instant Replay. For you Mac users out there, for just $29 bucks, you can snag Soundboard from Ambrosia Software. With Soundboard you can add your special gloss to your podcasts or broadcasts. Add sound clips, special effects, music, backgrounds, stingers, bumpers, laugh tracks... etc. Create your own libraries of show specific audio clips and fire them off with a hot key from your keyboard. Tap the key and you have just replicated your beloved cart. Soundboard is designed to be easy to use while performing live. You can also edit sounds, drag and drop, and control Soundboard via a MIDI device.
Ambrosia Software has video overviews to get you up and running on their web site.
