Ãœbercaster is a complete production suite for podcasting on the Macintosh.
It lets podcasters prepare, record, cut and release their shows the way they’d expect it. The days of overloaded and bulky recording environments are over.

Made for podcasting

Leave your garage and feel at home. Ãœbercaster has been made with podcaster’s needs in mind. With its versatile options podcasters may record their show the way they’re used to and profit from Ãœbercaster’s advanced cut and release tools. One may also take advantage of Ãœbercaster’s groundberaking live audio recording. 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.

Appealingly easy

Ãœbercaster bundles its awesome features in an eye-inpiring, innovative and easy to use software. Thanks to a clear and smooth interface, podcasters can jump right in and record their episode. All the goodies are waiting unintrusively in the corner and are there when you need them.
This makes Ãœbercaster perfectly suitable for both, newbies and advanced users.

Pure bred Mac application

Ãœbercaster uses the Cocoa framework and is completely written in OS X’s native language Objective-C . So its look and feel are pretty familiar. Moreover it benefits from powerful technologies like CoreAudio, CoreImage, Accellerated Framework and multi threading.

Other main features of Ãœbercaster v1.0.1:

  • Thanks to templates you don’t have to start from scratch. Just use a previous project and you are ready to record.
  • Define multiple microphones and a special input panel for iChat, Skype and Gizmo recording.
  • Import and play soundclips, pre-recorded material and sound effects live.
  • Optional “Stealth mode” enables you to start and stop audio clips or change volumes without clicking the mouse.
  • Edit your show in a full featured and easy to use multi track editing environment.
  • Encode podcasts as MP3, (enhanced) AAC or AIFF and upload them to web servers (via FTP, .Mac, etc.) at once with a single click.
  • Save your project as an archive which contains all audio you’ve used in your episode.
  • And much more…

Ãœbercaster v1.0.1 requires a Macintosh with a G4, G5 or Intel CPU and Mac OS X v10.4.4 or later.

What people are saying…
“Besides it’s abundance of features, this application has a unique and ultra cool aesthetic design. If you require a real time production concept tool, or just an efficient method of program production, Ãœbercaster warrants serious consideration. It’s highly recommended.”
(Paul Figgiani)

“I would be very surprised if Ubercaster didn’t become the benchmark in 2007 by which all future podcasting software will be judged.”
(Bob Cartwright in Podcast User Magazine)

“This slick and sexy application has a great future — no doubt!”
(Scott Slone)

“Ãœbercaster Makes Girlie-Man Podcasting Software Look Puny And Weak”
(PodcastingNews)

“Ãœbercaster already had the edge in my opinion, but this streaks it ahead of any other podcast production tool available because it opens up a whole world of new opportunities without the pain.”
(Neil Dixon)

“It’s like a mac podcasters wet dream.”

    I find the whole widget layout confusing… and even for the Zot price: this app is too expensive. I’m waiting for iLife 07 incl. a new version of Garageband and other goodies for almost the same price tag. Thanks, but thanks.

    Nothing touches Ubercaster for a complete podcast creation tool on the Mac.
    It’s strength lies in the ability to record a show in real time, adding tracks, effects, beds, etc, and not have to work like so many apps (Garageband for one) where you have to drag and drop and from the off stopping and starting the recording workflow – that gets so irritating. You can still edit the recording afterwards (just like in Garageband, for example) – this is the only application I’ve found that gives you the best of both worlds in this respect. Add to that encode and even automatically publish with pretty much one-click (though admittedly iTunes’ mp3 encoding is superior quality still), and it’s a complete package. I’ve been using Ubercaster for multiple podcasts since it was in Beta and can wholly recommend it.

    I’m trying to get some of our users (http://www.talkshoe.com) who create shows and do some post-production try this tool out. Looks useful, but I’ll let the users of our service decide.

    Bought that one in the preview-time while the app was in beta-mode. Very useful and best for live-recording. My way I do podcasting has changed totally.

    I like the graphical means of layout—very creative freeform. Since it is only version 1.x the mp3 encoding quality (as mentioned by Neil) might get better in future versions? I’ve not tried my hand at podcasting. I’ve played a bit with GarageBand, but this does seem easier. Hmmmm….

    Another aspect to remember is that you can’t blame other currencies because the dollar’s value sucks. I am seeing more and more terrific software coming for Europe and elsewhere, and I cringe every time I see the exchange rate when I go to purchase a license, but good software is good software.
