great explanation men!!! can i use cubase sx 5 instead of audacity?

[tuneupyourweb]

@sobr32xiswcp You can use any software you choose. You'll just need to select the USB interface in your software's preferences. I used Audacity for this setup because it's free and easy to use. Good luck!

I am looking to do solo podcasting to see if I like it or not and I bought a behringer podcastudio for $87 on Amazon. It comes with the 502 and it works just fine. I do have a question though man....do I have to pay to have my podcasts on the internet? I have a wordpress blog and was hoping to post them there without going through iTunes or anything. Any help or info? Thanks for the video!

@SainteLincoln86 I made a short video showing you the basics. If you go to my videos you see it there titled, "Using PodPress with Wordpress" Let me know if it helps.

Man, this is the best tutorial I have seen on how to do a Podcast, after hours of searching the internet and confusing stupid unorganized videos, I am grateful I found this video.

Thank you so much.

@SainteLincoln86 you could always try soundcloud. you can upload there maybe? although i do know you are restricted to how much you can upload before you have to pay for more upload space. im just starting out as well and i did see that package you are referring to. ive chosen the m-audio podcast studio to start me off as i picked it up for £27.00 on Ebay.

That's a good starter package. You'll have a lot of fun with it. As long as you have a self-hosted version of Wordpress you won't have to pay anything more than your annual web hosting fee. Use Podpress. It's a Wordpress plugin that has every feature you could need to get your stuff online with a bonus of being able to use it to submit your podcast to iTunes and other popular podcast directories. Podpress is free. (I might do a short video on installing and using it) Good luck with your podcast!
