The easiest way to get started with a podcast in WaveLab Cast is to create an audio montage.

Now that you have created an audio montage, you can save it.

Before you can start recording and editing your podcast project, you need to ensure that WaveLab Cast can access your microphone, so that you can record content, and your speakers or headphones, so that you can listen to your audio files.

In just a few simple steps, you can fill your audio montage with the different audio files that make up your podcast and arrange them on the corresponding tracks.

You can record your main content and any voice-overs; that is, your own voice and contributions by any additional hosts, guests, or interviewees, in WaveLab Cast.

You can listen to either all the tracks in your podcast at once, or select individual tracks.

In WaveLab Cast, you can easily move, copy, and delete clips in your audio montage.

You can apply fade-ins, fade-outs, and crossfades to clips.

In WaveLab Cast, you can trim the clips in an audio montage and split them into smaller audio segments.

In parts of your podcast where spoken content is accompanied by music, you can use the ducking feature to attenuate the music so that the voice is in the foreground.

The Track Inspector section in WaveLab Cast is home to a number of effects that enable you to optimize the sound of your podcast, and enhance the listening experience for your audience.

To publish your podcast, you need to specify an output format and render the podcast. This turns the audio montage into an audio file that you can upload to a podcast host service.

As most podcast host services ask you to comply with specific loudness requirements, you can set the loudness of your audio file after rendering your podcast.

Podcasts are distributed via RSS (Rich Site Summary), a standard for distributing news and other information via the internet. In WaveLab Cast, an RSS Feed is a text file that contains information about podcast episodes, which you can enter via the RSS Feed Editor.

The RSS Feed Editor in WaveLab Cast allows you to add and manage multiple episodes of your podcast, and gives you control over their publication dates and the information you want to share about them.

The more information you provide about your podcast, the easier it is for potential listeners to find it, and the more likely it is that your podcast matches their needs, interests, and expectations so that they subscribe to it.

To publish episodes of your podcast, you must upload them to an FTP server.
