Over the past few years, podcasters for both the PC and Mac worlds have had a similar dilemma…how to inject audio into your live podcasts and shows. Many methods have been tried, and likewise, many have failed. To date, the only tried and true method for doing this was to purchase a hardware mixer and then be saddled down with a sometimes huge upfront expense and of course, maintenance, upkeep and eventually, replacement.

Nowadays, using a VOIP or SIP connection for your live podcasts and shows, is becoming the norm. Along with this connection, you have the opportunity to inject audio easily using a product called Vemotion from http://www.voiceemotion.com

Using Skype or XLite (or other SIP/VOIP client) along with Vemotion, enables you to play audio files easily. What this doesn’t enable you to do, is to play your audio, say from Talkshoe, back across another connection, such as uStream. So, when your viewers are listening to your audio on uStream, they will only hear you and no one else or your audio files that you are playing. So, this brings in yet another challenge for the podcaster…how to make THIS happen!

Like I said earlier, the best way was to spend a lot of money and purchase a hardware mixer. This isn’t practical for a lot of hobbyists, so a low cost, software solution had to be found. Introducing The Virtual Audio Cable, a low cost software solution that enables you to simulate a hardware mixer and redirect your audio to other places such as uStream.

The Virtual Audio Cable is for PC only and gives you the capability to redirect your audio using “virtual” devices. Now, just a quick caveat here…this solution is not for the technically challenged. That being said, I am adding a short how-to video on setting this software up and this should allow almost anyone to setup and start using this software in little to no time at all!

As many of you already know, I have had the hardware mixer for quite some time now. This has worked out quite nicely for me, except for when I need to go remote with my laptop and then, well, I can’t be dragging a bunch of extra hardware with me everywhere I go…can I?!? No! So, this is why I began looking into this solution real hard once again. I purchased the Virtual Audio Cable (just runs $29.00 USD) and was able to download it and install it and once the configuration was in place, I was able to start using it! In fact, I “debuted” the use of this solution on my show last night and it worked out great! Here’s a few tips for you to get you going…

To begin with, you can download a free trial version of the Virtual Audio Cable (and I recommend you do this BEFORE buying it) from http://software.muzychenko.net/vac409.zip …You can still use my instructions to use the free trial to make sure this works for you.

Once you have the trial software installed, there are two applications that you will be using, the Audio Repeater and the Virtual Audio Cable app. To begin, start the VAC app. You will need to setup at least one Virtual Cable. Here is a graphic showing you my setup right now:

As you can see in this picture, I have three virtual cables setup. You will have some limitations in the trial version, however, you only need one virtual cable to make this work.

Next, you need to run two applications of the Audio Repeater program. The reason for this is to redirect your audio through the newly created virtual cables. Here is my setup:

As you can see from the picture, I have my microphone on my PC going to Line 2 (a virtual audio cable. Yours may say Line 1) and on the second repeater, Line 2 going to my Speakers on my PC. Now, all audio is being redirected using the Virtual Audio Cable software. Next, click the Start buttons on each repeater program to start the virtual streams. Next, after you fire up uStream (or whatever program you are wanting to send your audio out to) make sure your audio source is your Virtual Audio Cable (for example, mine is Line 2) and then all audio will go to your redirected source. So, when you have people talking in the Talkshoe Chat Room or you are playing audio files using Vemotion, your other source will hear these as well!

I will post a video soon showing this entire process along with links where you can purchase this great product! Take my advice, download the trial version FIRST and then make sure it will work for your application! Watch for the video here soon!

Beginning Monday, June 8th, 2009, Dr. Robert White and Josh Budde, both Support Reps for Talkshoe, will begin hosting a new Live Support Show at Show ID 875, starting at 7:00pm EST every Monday Night.

The show will begin promptly at 7:00pm and there will be a short explanation of the shows format before the recording is started. Everyone will come into the show muted, however, the chat room will be open during the entire show.

Once the recording begins, there will be a 10 to 15 minute training that will be recorded and then the recording will be stopped. Once the recording has stopped, the phone lines will be opened and a Q&A Session will begin. We will go until all questions have been answered or fielded.

We urge all hosts and listeners alike to attend this show every week. We will take your support requests, comments and suggestions and then either answer your questions right there and then or if additional research or support is needed, it will be handled immediately following the show.

This new show is just another way that Talkshoe is getting you the support you need and want. Remember, that every Friday Night on Podcaster Training, there is also a time for Talkshoe Support added to that show too!

See you on Monday Night!

Earlier this week, I announced, by way of a blog post, of changes coming to the format of the show. Tonight, I will be implementing these changes. Even though they aren’t real big changes, they are changes none the less.

First off, for those of you that catch my videocasts each week, I am now streaming live (and recorded) on Mogulus instead of uStream.tv. I have revamped my live page at http://www.newmediapro.tv to reflect these changes to the video streaming.

Now, most of the show will remain as it was, such as the segment hosts will still come in an deliver their segments each week. The main change to the format is in the Main Topic area. I will choose a topic for the episode to discuss, however, the floor will remain open for anyone, and I stress anyone, that wants to come on and discuss other things, like how to use Talkshoe for example. This will allow the new hosts to Talkshoe to come in and to learn, like a hands on approach (thanks to the video) how to do the things they are wanting to learn how to do.

Anyway, the topic for tonight is What is REALLY important to your podcast. Now, since I am a Support Rep for Talkshoe, I see some really strange requests sometimes that are bugging people about the service or their shows, and so I have come up with a list of things that a podcaster should be looking at and not sweating the small stuff.

You can add to this list if you like, as there may be things that you feel is important to your podcast and I may have overlooked. This is NOT an all inclusive list!

Important things to a podcaster:
1. Make sure your equipment is working BEFORE you go live!
This is probably the most important item in the whole list. Now I know, better than anyone, that technical difficulties can happen after you press the Record button. However, it is extremely important that you mak sure your mic is working with your VOIP program (Shoephone, Gizmo, Skype, etc.) and that you know how to use the aformentioned VOIP program to log into Talkshoe to do your show. If you are using a landline or cell phone, again make sure your batteries are charged (like for a cordless phone or cell phone) and that you know the shortcut keys to use in case you need them. Remember, *2*1 to start and stop the recording, *8 to Raise Your Hand (For listeners) and *6 to mute and unmute.

2. Before you start the recording, and if you have someone else in the chat room with you, make sure your audio is functioning properly.
There is nothing worse than to go into your show and then find out that your mic was muted or turned off and that no one can hear you. If you are in doubt, then take an extra minute to double check BEFORE you start your show!

3. Decide how to handle hecklers during your show, BEFORE you begin!
Make sure you know how to mute the chat room users and how to mute the live phone in listeners. When you get that ever present podcrasher, and you will (we all do) be ready to mute them both in the chat and on the phone. To do this, as a host, simply click on the computer icon next to their name to mute/unmute their chatroom and click on the phone icon next to their name to mute/unmute their live conversations. And if you get someone that is being persistant in wanting to be unmuted, think twice unless you know the person and know that they aren’t wanting to disrupt your show.

4. If you are inviting someone in for an interview, make sure they know how to log into Talkshoe on the phone (at the very least) and that they have an account. This way your invited person isn’t coming in as a guest and you are trying to second guess yourself as to who or where they are.

5. After your show is finished, don’t rush right out and “hope” that the recording is there. It most likely won’t be. You may have to wait for up to 30 minutes or more before your recorded show will appear. Also, the recording will not appear until AFTER you have terminated the show and exited your chat room.

6. Going along with number 5, don’t look for the stats to be immediately updated. They most likely won’t be. The stats are usually updated daily and they aren’t updated on the fly. If you want to check your stats, that’s ok, but don’t make this a priority and then generate a support ticket when they aren’t there 10 seconds after your show if finished!! Wait until the next day and check them, if 24 hours have passed and they still haven’t updated, then go to GetSatisfaction and let Talkshoe know. There may be an issue with the Stats Server that needs to be looked at.

7. When scheduling your future shows, take a few minutes to learn how to use this interface. It’s not too complicated and once you learn it, you can schedule a show within a few minutes and send out your invites and be done. Again, don’t just jump out and generate a ticket because you don’t want to take a few minutes to learn how to do it right!

8. Speaking of scheduled shows, once you schedule a future show, make sure you actually show up to do the show! When listeners see you are live and they go into the chatroom and no one is there, especially the host, then they will tend to quickly migrate to another show and not want to come back. Now, I understand that sometimes life can get in the way, so take a second to go out and reschedule the show to another day or time and in this way, you will be able to retain more listeners when you can’t make it.

9. Take some time to update your profiles.
When you are hosting a show, make sure your show profile is updated with a proper name and description. This will help new listeners decide whether or not they want to come in and check you out. If your profile is incomplete or blank, they will most likely keep moving along and won’t stop in. Your personal profile is especially important to make sure you have it updated. There is nothing more frustrating to a host to click on a listeners name to find nothing, just a blank profile. Also, include your proper age. If you are a teenager or pre-teen trying to act like an adult, believe me, adults can tell the difference. The more honest you are in your profile, the more respect you will earn from your fellow hosts and listeners.

10. If you don’t know how to do something, just ask someone!
Whether you are just starting out or have been doing this for a while, you may see something new or hear of something new that you would like to incorporate into your podcast. If you can’t figure it out, don’t get upset just because someone else if making it work, ask someone. Usually the host that is using the new technology will be more than happy to explain what they are doing and how they are doing it. If all else fails, come onto a show like Podcaster Training or submit a support ticket to Talkshoe and ask how to do this. You might be surprised of the amount of information you will get back in return!

It’s been a while since I have made some drastic changes to the format at Podcaster Training and beginning with this week’s episode, I will be changing a few things. I know change can be frightening to some and welcome to others, however, I’m gonna do it anyway!

First, I am going to put uStream.TV on hold for a while. I will still do video, but I will be using Mogulus for a while as it is most likely the most stable of all of the networks running right now. I will be changing the template at http://www.newmediapro.tv, my live page site, to reflect this change. Mogulus also has a chat room, but is not solely dependent on using it, like what uStream does. Also, with Mogulus, I will have a 24 hour station running and will be able to more easily incorporate videos into my training sessions. This change will be the most drastic of all, I assure you!

Next, I will be changing the format around and will make the training more interactive. So, look for me to call on those of you that phone in, more than I have in the past. I also want to encourage others to phone in and get involved as well. This new format will allow me to do “immediate” training during the show, such as answering questions and providing additional training that is not part of the session for that night. Also, this new format will allow new and prospective hosts to call in and get some “one on one” hand holding with special consideration to Talkshoe.

Lastly, I will be incorporating more Talkshoe related training back into the format once again. Since I am a Support Rep for Talkshoe, this seems like a good time to bring back this style of training.

I will be changing around some of how I present the show as well. You’ll be able to find out more come Friday Night!

Or How to take your show on the road!

Tonight, we will discuss how to do a remote podcast. First, you may ask, what exactly is a remote podcast and I beleive that if you think about it for a second, you will understand. However, think of it like a terrestrial radio station doing a remote broadcast from a local business, a remote podcast is very much like that. You are simply producing your live show from a different location.

Right now, look at how you produce your current live show. You are usually sitting at home, at your PC (or Mac…didn’t want to assume everyone has a PC) and you are calling in on the phone, Skype or SIP, and you log into Talkshoe and do your show, right? Now, think about taking your show to a local coffee shop, bookstore or other location that has WiFi access and armed with your trusty notebook and cell phone, you can easily setup, log into the WiFi and place your call to Talkshoe and you are now ready to do a remote podcast.

Of course, like anything else, this may take some planning on your part as you may not have a notebook or a local business with WiFi access and so now what? Let’s look at some other ways you can also do a remote podcast without having to tote around a notebook and other equipment.

Let’s assume for the sake of argument that you are just wanting to interview a local business person and then play that interview on your show. The easiest way to do this, especially if you can’t get them on a phone call on your show, is to take a Digital Voice Recorder or some other type of recording device, and then go to the local business and ask them if it would be ok to record your interview with them. Once you have their permission, press Record and do your interview. Once completed, you can take it back to your computer and then work it into your show,

There are other ways to do remote podcasts and I have a couple of hosts that are doing that right now! Bruce Turner, whom most of you recognize from being on this show and even guest hosting a few weeks ago for me, does a remote podcast, including video, from a local coffee shop in his town called “The Muse”. Bruce couldn’t be with us tonight due to a prior committment, however, he has sent me a pre-recorded segment explaining what he does for The Muse.

Patti Serrano, my segment host here for The Business of Podcasting, has done remote podcasts before and she will now come on and explain a new project that she is currently exploring that will be a new kind of remote podcast.

BTW, we will be bringing Bruce Turner on the show next week for a live segment talking more about this subject.

With Talkshoe’s remote functions over the phone, such as *2*1 to start and stop the recording, you can also use the new feature of starting your call right away over the phone (make sure this is activated in your profile for your show), and you can be at a local business, coffee shop, where ever and start a call and do a remote podcast and of course, you won’t have the chat room in front of you, but you can still easily do a remote podcast in this manner.

Do you belong to an online social networking website? With their recent rise in popularity there is a good chance that you do. However, it is one thing to be a community member and another to actually participate in online discussions, as well as the many other network features. That is why it is advised that you learn how to make the most out of your social networking experience.

Many internet users already think that they know everything that they need to know about their social networking community. Unfortunately, not everyone does. In fact, you can find numerous posts online of people ranting or stating that they wished that their social networking website, such as Yahoo! 360, MySpace, Orkut, FriendWise, or FriendFinder, has a particular service and feature. Too many times, those posters did not look before they started speaking because, as it turns out, many social networking websites have what people want, just everyone doesn’t know about it.

The first step, in making the most out of your social networking experience, is to familiarize yourself to the online community or communities that you belong to. This can easily be done by closely examining the website. There are too many internet users who are focused on meeting new friends that they get started right away. While it is nice to start meeting new people right away, it is also nice to know what your social networking site has to offer. This can only be done by closely examining the website. Whether you take one hour or one day examining the website, you will likely be pleased with your decision to do it.

When examining the website of the online community that you belong to, it is advised that you examine the terms of use agreement. This agreement often outlines what you can and cannot do online. Despite the fact that a large number of online networking sites, such as MySpace, have little rules, there are other websites that have them. These rules and restrictions may limit the content that you can have on your site, as well as your pictures, videos, and other media. Many websites, including social networking websites, will terminate your membership if you are found violating these agreements. By reading all of the rules and restrictions of the social networking website you belong to, you should be able to ensure that you can continue to use and enjoy the site.

One of the many benefits to fully examining the social network you belong to is that you could be alerted to network benefits, features, or services that you were previously unaware of. In addition to giving you your own profile page and allowing you to invite other internet users into your network, there are a number of other things that you can do with online social networking websites. A large number of websites have created features and sections that include horoscopes, quizzes, polls, instant massaging, chat rooms, and much more. However, before you make use of these member benefits, you must know that they exist.

If you are interested in making new online friends, it is likely that you have already joined an online social networking community. Whether you are interested in joining more or you are a first time user, you will to carefully choose your networks. By researching each social networking website online, you should easily be able to famialrize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of each. And, since most social networking websites are free to use, there are no risks associated with giving the network a try. If you happen to come across a website that requires a paid membership and you would like to try it, you are advised to lookout for free membership plans or free trail periods. They may be able to help you determine whether or not the social networking website that you are interested in joining is worth the cost.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways to go about making the most out of your social networking experience. The control is in your hands. It is your decision as to whether or not you want to spend a small amount of time researching your network and everything that it has to offer. However, it is important to note that not doing so may literally mean that you are missing out on all of the fun.

Do you use the internet on a regular basis? If you do, there is a good chance that you have heard of websites like MySpace, FriendFinder, Classmates, or Yahoo! 360. What do all of these websites have in common? They are known as social networking websites. Social networking websites, over the past few years, have rapidly increased in popularity, so much that many are wondering why.

If you have used a social networking website before, it is likely that you are already fully aware of their popularity and the reason for popularity. There is just something about these websites that draw in millions of internet users. With a wide variety of different social networking websites available, there are a wide variety of different reasons for their popularity. One those reasons being the ease of use.

Social networking websites are, for the most part, easy to use. Most sites are easy to navigate. In fact, many require little knowledge of the internet. In addition to being easy to navigate, social networking websites also make it easier to meet new people online. There are many internet users who would love to make new friends online; however, that can sometimes be difficult do. Without social networking websites, you would have to connect with internet users, often in chat rooms, and learn about their interests before deciding if you would like to consider them your “buddy.” Social networking sites allow you to learn information about another internet user before ever having to make contact with them.

Another one of the many reasons why social networking sites are popular is because many are free to use. In fact, the majority of social networking sites, such as MySpace and Yahoo! 360, are free to use. Despite being free to use, many websites require that you register with them. This registration will not only allow you to create your own profile or online webpage, but it will also allow you to contact other networking members.

Although most social networking websites are free to use, there are some that are not. Classmates is one of those websites. Many of these websites give you a free trial period or a free membership. That membership can be used to help you determine whether or not the website is worth paying for. What is nice about paid online social networking websites is that many can be considered exclusive. Since most internet users would not want to pay for something that they can get for free, most paid social networking sites are limited on the number of members they have. This may work out to your advantage because it tends to eliminate those who create fake accounts or aim to cause controversy online.

Social networking websites are also popular because they come in a wide variety of different formats. Websites like Yahoo! 360 and MySpace focus on a wide variety of different topics. This means that just about anyone can join. However, there are other social networking sites out there that have a particular focus. These focuses may be on a particular religion, political following, or hobby. Most specialty social networking sites restrict the individuals that can participate in their network; thus, making your experience more enjoyable.

Finally, social networking websites focus on meeting new people, especially online, but over recent months, many have started including additional features only available to their online members. Many social networking members can receive their own free webpage, get free access to popular music videos, a free blog, and much more. Although social networking websites are popular enough to bring in members on their own, these additional features are, in a way, providing internet users with an incentive to join.

Mentioned above were a few of the most popular social networks that could be found online. Those networks included MySpace, Yahoo! 360, and Classmates. If you are looking for additional social networking websites, you should easily be able to find some by performing a standard internet search.

Today, I received an e-mail asking why I chose Talkshoe over BlogTalkRadio for my live podcasting. So, before I responded back to this individual, I decided to check out BlogTalkRadio again so that I could give a decent response to this inquiry.

As most of you already know, I started with Talkshoe more than two years ago. For those not in the know, Talkshoe is a free service that offers live, interactive podcasting, hosting and chat rooms for hosts that want to produce a live podcast with a live audience. BlogTalkRadio does this as well, but more on them later.

When I started podcasting live with Talkshoe, they were a fledgling company and were still having some teething pains with some of the technology. A lot can be overlooked, especially when the service is free of charge! Over time, Talkshoe has grown out of most of their technical issues and have added a lot of great features over the past couple of years.

BlogTalkRadio offers many of the features that Talkshoe offers, however, they have some restrictions that some hosts, myself included, just can’t deal with.

Here is a list of Pros and Cons of both services as I see them. This list is strictly my observations and do not represent the opinions of these individual services.

Talkshoe

1. Free Account Signup for member and host
2. Free hosting and storage of MP3 recordings
3. Unlimited storage for archives of MP3 recordings
4. Up to 5 Hour limit on recording of podcasts
5. No restrictions on time slots to host podcasts
6. Up to 250 people on the chatroom and phone bridge
7. Dedicated phone number and show ID for calling into show
8. No restrictions on advertising placed within your podcasts
9. 15 minute “pre-show” window before starting your podcast
10. Manual or automatic recording option for your podcast
11. Ability to mute chatroom and phone bridge callers
12. Ability to manually start and terminate podcasts
13. Ability to use SIP/VOIP or Phone to call into show
14. No ad revenue sharing for the hosts
15. Ability to schedule future shows for any day or time
16. Easy to use interface on show page
17. Ability to continue streaming before and after recording
18. Recordings available within 30 minutes of termination of show
19. Ability to not use a PC to host a live podcast

BlogTalkRadio

1. Free account signup for member and host
2. Free hosting and storage of MP3 recordings
3. Unlimited storage for archive of MP3 recordings
4. Up to 2 hours of podcast recording
5. No apparent restrictions now on time slots to host podcasts
6. Up to 5 people on the phone bridge at one time
7. Not sure on limit of chat room visitors
8. Dedicated phone number and ID for calling into show
9. Certain restrictions for advertising on your podcasts
10. Voluntary Ad Revenue Sharing program
11. No “pre-show” window for starting your live podcast
12. Automatic start and terminate of your podcast recording
13. Ability to continue streaming after recording is completed
14. Ability to mute chatroom and phone bridge callers
15. No ability to manual start or terminate podcast recordings
16. Ability to use VOIP or phone to call in, no SIP support
17. No ability to go over preset time limit for show recording
18. Ability to schedule future shows up to 30 days in advance
19. Not a user friendly interface for scheduling or show maintenance
20. Unsure as to how long before recordings show up after termination
21. Ability to not use a PC to host a podcast, but not recommended

This list is not complete. Only from the observation point of a show host. As you can see, BlogTalkRadio has more restrictions in place that makes it more difficult for an individual to host a show. BlogTalkRadio has some features that Talkshoe doesn’t, such as the ad revenue sharing program. Talkshoe, at one time, had such a program. However, with no advertising restrictions, Talkshoe allows the host to producing their own advertising dollars.

My response to the individual about why I chose Talkshoe over BlogTalkRadio was honest. In my opinion, Talkshoe still has the better service going between the two. Granted, Talkshoe has it’s share of technical issues still, and the test podcast I ran on BlogTalkRadio today, went smooth and the recording was clear and usable. Again, there will always be differences, but for the money (remember, Talkshoe is still a free service) I will be staying with Talkshoe for the time being and will hope that the technical issues get ironed out soon.
