Offenburg/Germany - Pleasant Software today releases a major update for its groundbreaking podcasting solution Ubercaster.

Ubercaster 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.

 

Version 1.6 delivers some major improvements and new functions:

 

* German localization:

Ubercaster is finally localized in German; including the build-in Help system.

 

* Native Skype support:

It's now incredibly easy to record Skype conversations. Due to the fact that Ubercaster uses the official Skype API you can call your buddies directly within Ubercaster. No additional drivers or special configurations are needed.

 

* "Level Meter" panels:

Always have an eye on each input panel's level or the overall level of your podcasts.

 

* Export audio clips directly from the Cut layer:

It's now possible to save any audio clip from the Cut layer to disk with just one click; including all assigned filters and volume envelopes.

* Ubercaster's handling of external file references has been greatly improved:

If audio files, used in a project, are renamed and removed in the Finder, Ubercaster is now aware of this changes and corrects the references automatically.
