Which Free and Open Source Software do you use and/or recommend for podcasting? (OS, DAW, planning, remote recording, transcription, plugins, player…)
👇 Give your answers here 👇

in terms of players, landed on AntennaPod and happy since ever after.

In terms of recording... Well, Audacity do have it's issues and would not recommend IF there were any other decent options. OBS may be worth a shot (despite weird setup if you need audio-only podcast).

Been struggling a bit with PipeWire setting up headphones and various different microphones, but that may just be my lack of experience and time investment :|

> OBS (despite weird setup if you need audio-only podcast)

How do you achive that @KasTas ?

as I recall, selecting custom video codec options (or something like that) and adding -vn (or rather NULL video encoder). Which renders container with the recording with no video. Which is suitable for Audacity or whatver to be imported.

Will check the exact setting later, commuting at the moment :|

#howTo #OBS #audioOnly

thx for the hint @KasTas, based on your input I did a quick net search and found this:

To record only audio in OBS Studio, go to File -> Settings -> Output, make sure Advanced mode is selected. Open Recording tab and choose Custom Output (FFmpeg) in dropdown. Choose e.g. mp3 as container, disable Video encoder and edit the rest of settings to suit your needs.
This will save the output to .mp3 directly and you can use a separate profile for that in case you're also using OBS for normal video recording.

In this case a full screen page view of this conversation has been taken by OBS as the mp3 container image displayed.

Thx @KasTasMykolas , for mentioning the recording audio only option in OBS in the first place, and @Castopod to ask the community the general question about software use for #podCast creation so this conversation and hint could come up.

👍

The previous answer was embeeding a video file using bbCode from this #friendica server:

Here the embeed as audio file

Can you recheck this embeeded file and it's origin @utopiarte. There is actually a different way of declaring audio files in the #activityPub protocol, as discused on the @helpers forum lately, and the way #castopod "declares" doesn't embed any image on #friendica (?), as visible on you post page on your server.

(just a tecnical recheck of how "cross posting" looks like on the platforms, as the origin of the posted file is inconclusive)
