Leave your garage and feel at home. Ubercaster has been made with
podcaster’s needs in mind. With its versatile options podcasters may record
their show the way they’re used to and profit from Ubercaster’s advanced
cut and release tools. One may also take advantage of Ubercaster ‘s
groundberaking live audio recording. Auto ducking, effects, chapters for
enhanced podcasts, ID3 tags, album cover art, mp3/AAC/AIFF encoding – you
name it. It’s all there. Seamlessly integrated.

Appealingly easy

Ubercaster bundles its awesome features in an eye-inpiring, innovative and
easy to use software. Thanks to a clear and smooth interface, podcasters
can jump right in and record their episode. All the goodies are waiting
unintrusively in the corner and are there when you need them.
This makes Ubercaster perfectly suitable for both, newbies and advanced users.

Pure bred Mac application

Ubercaster uses the Cocoa framework and is completely written in OS X’s
native language Objective-C . So its look and feel are pretty familiar.
Moreover it benefits from powerful technologies like CoreAudio, CoreImage,
Accellerated Framework and multi threading.

a previous project and you are ready to record.

Skype and Gizmo recording.

editing environment.
– Encode podcasts as MP3, (enhanced) AAC or AIFF and upload them to
web servers (via FTP, .Mac, etc.) at once with a single click.
– Save your project as an archive which contains all audio you’ve
used in your episode.
