Performing Podcast-Specific Editing and Authoring
Podcasts range in complexity from a simple audio or video file to enhanced podcasts
with chapter markers and associated web links. Besides its many sophisticated audio
editing and mixing tools, Soundtrack Pro includes a dedicated podcast track for adding
chapter markers, URL links, and images.
Stage 4:
Compressing the Audio (and Video) Files
Soundtrack Pro includes a robust set of export and compression options for both audio

Stage 5:

this automatically as a part of the export process. For more information, see
