Podcasts are popular. By hosting platform Buzzproutover 75.9 million people in the United States regularly listen to podcasts, and forecasters predict that this number could increase to 160 million by 2023.
No wonder people want to start podcasting or elevate their current podcast to a professional standard. However, figuring out what kind of technology you need to make sure the audio you’re recording sounds great can be tricky. Not only is there so much choice, but there is a lot of conflicting advice on which devices, accessories, and software are worth having and which are essentials.
Audio technology brand focus recently launched Vocaster, a new product range that takes the stress out of choosing the right technology for your podcast. There are several Vocaster kit options that offer easy-to-use features that allow budding to intermediate podcasters and content creators to bring their ideas to life and make everything they record sound professional.
Which Vocaster set is right for you?
The Vocaster range offers a variety of podcasting solutions. There are standalone interfaces that give you fantastic sound in your recordings, and studio packages that are all-in-one solutions for anyone looking to up their podcasting game.
An audio interface is a small device that converts audio signals from a microphone into a format recognizable by a computer. You can also redirect audio from your computer to your headphones. The interface allows the use of any XLR microphone, offers more connections and gain, and ultimately enhances recordings to be clearer and louder.
Vocaster offers two interface options. Vocaster One is designed for solo content creators, allowing you to record audio from a single microphone. Vocaster two is designed for two microphones, allowing you to capture conversation in the studio, over the phone or online.
Vocaster also provides complete podcasting solutions in its studio packages. The Vocaster One Studio includes the professional quality Vocaster DM1 microphone and Vocaster HP60v closed-back studio headphones. The Vocastar Two Studio includes the studio quality Vocaster DM14v microphone and the same Vocaster HP60v headphones.
Here’s why you should choose Vocaster
All Vocaster audio interfaces offer several features that set them apart from the competition. The Auto Gain tool allows you to quickly and easily set levels with more than enough gain for the most common broadcast mics.
The Enhance feature enhances the sound by revealing the clarity of your voice and allowing you to choose from three voice presets. You can press the mute button to mute the microphone during unexpected interruptions. The Loopback feature allows you to stream recorded clips from your computer, such as intros, outros, interviews, jingles and background music throughout the show.
Whichever Vocaster option you choose, you’ll also get a Vocastar software package created by programming partners Acast, Hindenburg and Squadcast. A full package worth over $600 to help users get started so they can record, edit and share their content in the best possible way.
