Podcast Studio 4+

It's cool but...

I really like this app for recording podcasts, and even purchased the bronze subscription, but since purchasing, whenever I open the app to try to record it tells me my trial subscription is expired and doesn't acknowledge the new subscription. Might have to cancel the subscription.

I’ve heard some other folks have problems with this, seems to be an App Store thing. Delete the app and redownloading it seems to work.

too many issues, very frustrating

was excited to have a simple podcast studio/publisher, but ended up running into too many issues. Started with a mic check session, all went fine. After some audio adjustments, went in for mic check #2. Recorded it, then couldnt get it to playback at all. Tried computer speakers, earphones, and even through my apple tv... no playback. It clearly picked up talking through the mics because the wave lengths were picked up nicely. After about 10 attempts, we jumped ship. entirely too frustrating. Came to the conclusion that the app is not working properly, as we downloaded a different app and it worked immediately.

Don't bother!

It's very difficult to figure this out! You don't have the ability to edit the track, so you best be prepared and spot on for your podcast. Including bumper and theme music is too complex and you have to have it ready in your iTunes account for easiest accessibility. If you're like me and have a library of sound you want to use, but haven't edited the sound down to a seconds you want Podcast Studio doesn't allow you do this. You'll need to edit in a different program then import.

All in all, I spent HOURS trying to figure this out. I'm canceling my subscription right now!

You can get control of the bumper and theme music playback by setting up the "Clip Type", which will play with fade-outs, etc. You can edit the clip positions after recording by clicking dragging, and even add more clips to the recording by dragging and dropping.
