Before you can start working on your podcast project, you need to make sure that WaveLab Cast can access your audio interface as well as your microphone, so that you can record content, and your speakers or headphones, so that you can listen to your audio files.

The easiest way to get started with a podcast in WaveLab Cast is to create an audio montage from a template via the Startup Assistant.

Now that you have created an audio montage, you can save it.

In just a few simple steps, you can fill your audio montage with the different audio files that make up your podcast and arrange them on the corresponding tracks.

You can record your main content and any voice-overs; that is, your own voice and contributions by any additional hosts, guests, or interviewees, in WaveLab Cast.

You can listen to either all the tracks in your podcast at once, or select individual tracks.

In WaveLab Cast, you can easily move, copy, and delete clips in your audio montage.

You can apply fade-ins, fade-outs, and crossfades to clips.

In WaveLab Cast, you can trim the clips in an audio montage and split them into smaller audio segments.

In parts of your podcast where spoken content is accompanied by music, you can use the ducking feature to attenuate the music so that the voice is in the foreground.

The Track Inspector section in WaveLab Cast is home to a number of effects that enable you to optimize the sound of your podcast, and enhance the listening experience for your audience.

To publish your podcast, you need to specify an output format and render the podcast. This turns the audio montage into an audio file that you can upload to a podcast host service.

As most podcast host services ask you to comply with specific loudness requirements, you can set the loudness of your audio file after rendering your podcast.
