Podcasting with linux

Submitted by zzaza on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 19:49

Hi
Am planing to start making podcasts, and i have just got myself a Rode podcaster usb microphone. i have tried this mic on many different distro but on all its detected but i can´t get it to work.
For audio recording i have looked and tried Audicity software. but i have failed to get a printable manual for audicity.
What i really need is how to get my mic to work, any information about podcasting with Linux.
Have a great day.

First, stay above the noise

First, stay above the noise floor. The signal should be recorded high enough to stay above the background noise and hiss. If your audio signals are like little, beautiful flowers growing in a grassy field, make sure their stalks are tall enough to tower over the field. Else you would lose the flowers in the prickly grass just as your audio signal would be lost in the background hiss and noise. sunglasses Second, stay below the clipping or overload level of the audio channels. If your audio channels were like open water canals, then overloading them past the clipping limit would have a similar undesirable effect on your audio experience as a canal overflowing its banks -- oakley sunglasses puddles around your feet or a jarring quality to your sound.

Audacity on Ubuntu 8.04

Joe if you're running Ubuntu 8.04 Audacity is broke. 8.04 changed some the audio sub-system. I think it's pulseaudio... if you remove it and just use alsa I think you should be set. I actually went back to 7.10 and have had no problems with audio.

re: Audacity on Ubuntu 8.04

Another idea. Given that PulseAudio is the future (at least for now), it's probably better to work with it rather than against it. Sadly not all apps (audacity included) are there yet. A better way to deal with the issues is with the padsp wrapper. Say you want to run audacity, you would use this command. 

padsp audacity

To run Kino and have it automatically read in all .dv files in your current folder, you would use this variation.

padsp kino *.dv

Try this anytime you are fighting with older software that isn't quite PulseAudio aware (or friendly).

re: Podcasting with Linux

Might I humbly suggest that you check out the following article, right here, written by *ahem* myself? You may find that it covers all the basics.
