Übercaster

Last night, by chance I visited the ubercaster website. On that site, they offer a very cool podcast software called Übercaster - which obviousely seems to be a german product. I played around with it for half of the night and must consider that this is a really nice piece of software.

The look is very stylish. For my point of view - and for my old eyes - a bit too stylish, because to font is way too small to read. S most of the time I have to guess what I'm doing. Making the fonts 2 points bigger would help a lot. And even if I like the cool black surface, it is "a la longue" not very funny to work in a black box. It would be great to have some skins or customize options.


The programmer knows about podcasters needs, most functions come to you intuitively, beside one: the deleting of sequences. This could be done more easily than by dividiing the soundclip in a couple of pieces and then deleting the one that was not correct. If you made a recording with some noises, coughs etc, I think you would not be very happy to edit like this. would be way better to just mark the piece you want to delete and press the delete-button.
A great feature is the option to directly record skype and iChat conversations. That's cool for interviews, chats, you name it...
One thing to remember - it's made for Mac.
Anyway, for about 80 Euros it's a deal for all of you who are about to enter the podcast world.
