Podcast Recording with iPhone discusses my experience in using the iPhone for recording podcasts.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of using my iPhone to record a couple of podcasts.

In the past, producing podcast recordings was time consuming. I would record the audio using either Garageband or Audacity and a USB mic. I would then export the file to the desktop, import into iTunes, and convert to mp3. I then uploaded the mp3 file and assembed the podcast in Wordpress.

Enter the iPhone.

Over the last 2 months I have accumulated several voice recording applications for the iPhone. I am most impressed with “Recorder for iPhone” by Retronyms.

I decided to try this app to record 2 podcasts. I recorded the audio using the iPhone headset. Upload to the mac was straightforward thru the application’s sync feature and the AIFF files opened directly in iTunes.

The sound quality seemed fine though I tended to hiss my S’s. And the process of producing an mp3 was significantly shortened. All in all a great experience.

The only fault I find with Recorder for iPhone is that it does not have a pause feature nor does it have a way to resume a recording interrupted by a phone call.

I highly recommend podcasters consider the iPhone as a great supplement to a desktop setup and to seriously consider Recorder for iPhone by Retronyms.
