Software and Apps for Recording and Editing your Podcast

In order to record and edit your podcast you will need some specialized software or Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files. In the Inspiration Lab we have a few options available: Audacity, Adobe Audition and REAPER. These DAWs are available on all Creation Stations which can be booked.

For more information on sound recording please see our Sound Recording guide as well as guides on how to use REAPER and Audacity.

There are some apps you can download as well that are free but make sure to read the terms and conditions and consider whether or not it is a good fit for you. The advantage of apps are they are uniquely designed for editing podcasts and can be easier for new and novice podcasters to learn.
