Podcasting is incredibly popular these days\u2014just like back in 2004 to 2005, after Adam Curry\u2019s Daily Source Code podcast hit it big. But he was a former MTV VJ, after all. We can\u2019t all have such amazing credentials that will propel us to podcasting stardom.<\/p>\n

So how exactly did podcasting<\/a> make a comeback a decade later? When public radio darling \u201cThis American Life\u201d launched its \u201cSerial\u201d podcast last year. People everywhere were mesmerized with this interesting new form of content that had sound, but no picture. Now, there are so many podcasts that Apple launched its own podcast app, and Google Play is working on its own version of that.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to dabble in podcasting too? Here are four pretty terrific apps for sound editing or podcasting on the fly.<\/p>\n

1. Audacity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audacity<\/a> gets props from n00bs and experts alike for its simplicity. The open source audio editing tool works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, but sadly does not have a mobile app yet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not super-pretty, but it gets the job done and has some pretty solid tools, such as multi-track editing, changing sound or pitch, and vocal reduction or isolation.<\/p>\n

But we promised to bring you some great platforms that were mobile, too. Admittedly, it\u2019s a little hard to do hardcore sound editing on a tiny smartphone screen (even if that\u2019s one of those phablet smartphones), but there are some making a go of it.<\/p>\n

2. HT Professional Recorder<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one is available only on iOS and costs $14.99. But if you need to record high-quality audio of varying lengths and basic editing tools, this is one of the best options. And that price is a one-time deal.<\/p>\n

HT Professional Recorder<\/a> has a built-in iTunes export and import, and its library is easy to navigate and organize. It\u2019s a pretty sparse, but simple interface and allows you to slice out snippets of a longer recording. Its editing tools are basic\u2014but that\u2019s not its primary purpose. It\u2019s built to record, and the recording quality is excellent, even without a special microphone attached to your iPhone.<\/p>\n

3. Lexis Audio Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lexis Audio Editor<\/a> on Android and Windows is like the Lexus of audio editors. Hahahaha. I slay myself. Sorry. I promise not to do that again.<\/p>\n

Anyway, a common theme among audio editing apps in both Google Play and Apple\u2019s App Store is that they don\u2019t tend to have exceptionally high ratings. That\u2019s because proper audio editing takes a bit more than swiping a few things on a tiny smartphone screen. Editing apps are not going to be as robust as you can get on desktop.<\/p>\n

Lexis does pretty well and has a free trial version. After that, it costs $6.99.<\/p>\n

4. The Podcast Source<\/strong><\/p>\n

Libsyn is one of the most popular podcast hosting platforms out there. Everyone I know who podcasts (I apparently know a lot of people who are podcasting) mentioned Libsyn to me as an important tool.<\/p>\n

The Podcast Source<\/a> allows you to follow all your favorite Libsyn podcasts through one app. If you follow a lot of shows\u2014and I know some of you do\u2014this could is a great way to keep up to date with little effort. And it\u2019s in the iOS, Android, and Windows app stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
