Ubercaster

Ubercaster Publisher's Description:
Ubercaster is the first complete podcast production suite for the Mac.

The days of overloaded and bulky recording environments are over. Ubercaster makes it easy for you to produce your podcast show in four simple steps. Each step has its own layer which bundles various functions in an easy to use yet powerful user interface.

Auto ducking, effects, chapters for enhanced podcasts, ID3 tags, album cover art, mp3/AAC/AIFF encoding - you name it. It's all there. Seamlessly integrated.

This makes Ubercaster suitable for both, newbies and advanced podcasters. All you need is Ubercaster, a Macintosh and something to tell...

Features include:

* Use a previous project as a template for new ones.
* Define multiple microphones and add special input panels for iChat, Skype and Gizmo recording.
* Record audio live.
* Real multi track recording and editing.
* Insert new recordings or overwrite any part of your previous show like in a text document.
* Enhanced podcasts - divide your episode into labeled chapters each provided with pictures and links.
* Encode podcasts as MP3, (enhanced) AAC or AIFF and upload them to web servers (via FTP, .Mac, etc.) at once with a single click.
* Start and stop audio clips or change volumes without clicking the mouse.
* Save your project as an archive which contains all audio you've used in your episode.
* And much more...

What's new in this version:

* Fixed a bug in Übercaster's audio import engine causing wrong durations of VBR encoded audio files.
* Fixed a bug in Cut layer causing problems when moving a selection of events containing the last event in the timeline. The same issue prevented Übercaster from changing the last event's duration (drag event edge) in some zoom levels.
* On Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) double-clicking onto the chapter table starts editing (again...). Double-clicking on the chapter image column still moves the playhead to the chapter's timestamp.
* Fixed a bug sometimes causing an exception when quitting Übercaster (during refreshing the Recent Templates menu).
* Improved error handling in case of input or output device overloads or errors.
* More robust "Save as Archive" handling.
* Optimized performance of saving changes in already archived projects.
* When removing unused panels, the related tracks in Cut layer are now also removed (if empty).
* Übercaster now shows an error when trying to replace a document with itself via "Save as...".
* Improved parser for links in Autopilot topics. URLs containing uppercase letters are now recognized correctly.
* It's now impossible to switch a documents layer before it's fully initialized.
* Changed GUI of Autosave preferences.
* Fixed a bug concerning chapters/markers with negative time stamps.
* Fixed: When deleting a topic in Autopilot, the new selection in the remaining topic list isn't displayed correctly.
* Fixed: When choosing the "Save" command during editing Autopilot topics, new topics weren't saved in some circumstances.
* Übercaster is now more robust in case of errors when opening 3rd party AudioUnits.
* Fixed: Track number and year aren't tagged into AAC (.m4a) files.
* Fixed a bug causing an exception when editing and/or saving a document containing a mic/audiochat panel with device error.
* Fixed bug 0000152: [0. General] Double entry of missing picture file when saving as archive.
