Podcasting

Introduction

Given that a wave window is the currently active document:

• Pull down the Edit menu and select "Create Podcast

from Wave...".

This will create a new Podcast window, with the audio file already being

selected for episode 1.

Pull down the File menu and select "Add to Podcast..."

from the Special submenu.

A dialog appears from which you can either select a Podcast currently

open in WaveLab (if any), or browse and open an existing Podcast from

your harddisk. In both cases, a new episode will be added to the Pod-

cast, with the audio file selected for this episode. Alternatively, you can

also choose to create a new Podcast from this dialog, with the audio file

already being selected for episode 1.

Given that an existing Podcast window is currently open:

Select "Clone this Podcast..." from the Podcast win-

dow’s Options menu.

An untitled copy of the existing Podcast is created, containing all infor-

mation of the original Podcast. Alternatively, you can drag the Podcast

window’s Document icon onto the WaveLab Essential desktop to

achieve the same.

Podcasting is a method of distributing multimedia files

over the Internet, e.g. for playback on mobile devices and

personal computers. A Podcast can be downloaded auto-

matically, using software capable of reading "RSS feeds".

RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") is a standard for dis-

tributing news and other information via the Internet.

An RSS news feed sends short messages on a certain

topic (e.g. sports, music, etc.), made available from a web

site. In order to read the messages, the user employs a

program (e.g. a special feed reader or an Internet

browser) that has the ability to monitor multiple feeds and

automatically download new messages on a regular basis.

Technically speaking, a Podcast is an RSS feed including

data content, such as audio or video files. Like a kind of

"show" with new episodes released regularly, for an audi-

ence that wants to listen when, where and how they want.

As such, this is a great way to make information available

to anyone.

As you know, WaveLab Essential is capable of editing and

producing audio material, but it also has the ability to cre-

ate and publish Podcast episodes at will. And all this with-

out ever quitting the program!

All you need, except for WaveLab Essential itself, is some

webspace with an FTP account for it in order to upload

the Podcast data.

Podcast templates

WaveLab Essential allows to store Podcast templates

from open Podacst windows:

Pull down the File menu and select "Save as template..."

This will store the currently active Podcast window’s information in a

template. Next time when you create a new podcast by using any of the

methods described above, you can choose this template, so that the in-

formation is already filled in the new Podcast window.

Creating a new Podcast

In order to create a new Podcast from scratch, pull down

the File menu, and select "Podcast..." from the New sub-

menu.

This will bring up a new Podcast window where you can

enter all information required for the Podcast (usually this

will be paths to mp3 audio files along with some textual in-

formation).

Alternative ways to create a Podcast

There are other ways to create a Podcast, which can be

shortcuts, depending on what kind of documents you al-

ready have opened in WaveLab Essential.

Podcasting

The Podcast window

Episodes can be moved by using the "Move up/down"

functions in the Podcast window’s Episodes menu. Alter-

natively, you can also re-order episodes by using drag-

and-drop in the item list.

In order to delete an episode, select it in the item list and

use the "Delete" function in the Episodes menu.

Ö There must be at least one episode present in the

Podcast.

Adding information to the Podcast

The upper pane of the Podcast window shows various

fields and settings that are related to the basic feed or an

episode, depending on what you have selected in the

lower pane’s item list (the fields are slightly different for

the feed and episodes).

A Podcast window including four episodes.

The Podcast window is divided into two panes. The lower

pane shows an item list of the basic feed and all episodes

included in the Podcast.

The upper pane shows the information for the feed or an

episode, depending on the item selected in the list below.

This is where you will be adding files, Internet links or tex-

tual information to the Podcast feed and its episodes.

Ö Field labels in bold letters point at a field that is man-

datory to fill. For quick publishing of your Podcast it is suf-

ficient to fill these fields only.

Following settings are available for the feed:

Setting Description

Title Sets the title of the feed (e.g. the topic of your pod-

cast). This is a mandatory field.

Description Further description of the feed content (HTML tags

are also allowed). This is a mandatory field.

make sure that the link is correct.

Adding, moving and deleting episodes

There are two ways to add an episode to a Podcast:

Select "New" from the Podcast window’s Episodes

menu.

This will add a new untitled episode without any information being

present.

Select an existing episode in the Podcast window’s

item list, then select "Duplicate" from the Episodes menu.

This will add a new episode, copying all information from the existing ep-

isode to the new one.

Picture

You may add a picture to your feed. This picture can-

not be larger than 144 x 400 pixels according to the

RSS standard, but it is possible to automatically re-

size the picture, if required (see “Global Podcast op-

tions” on page 6 ).

Clicking the "Glasses" button will open the specified

picture in your system’s default image viewer.

Publication

date and

Allows to set the feed’s publication date and time. If

"As most recent episode" is checked, this will auto-
