Although podcast is literally simple to produce by anybody who has a computer and a microphone, producing high audio quality podcasts need some technical know-how or at least a basic knowledge in audio production.
Sometime, a novice podcaster becomes too confused on what hardware /software to choose and on how to use a particular mixer or recording software. We typically have info-overload because of so many choices and possibilities to produce great sounding podcast shows.
And so, when I stumbled upon a tutorial that focuses on audio production, I think it would be nice sharing about it here. There is one company, HowAudio that provides online training for all sorts of audio production topics. They offer on-demand, online video tutorials on the latest audio/music software and hardware. These tutorials are discussed by audio production experts and so, they are definitely worth listening.
I browse their online tutorials and I saw several titles that are intended for podcasters such as Introduction to GarageBand and the Introduction to Podcasting. For as low as $19 a month or $199 for 12 months, you can access all of their online video tutorials. They also offer some of their tutorials on DVD which you can buy for around $24.95. By the way, the online video tutorial of the Introduction to Podcasting is now available in DVD.
