Hindenburg announces new audio editing software

Hindenburg Systems has announced the imminent release of a major upgrade for its audio editing software, Hindenburg PRO. A public Beta will be released soon to all existing Hindenburg customers.
"Hindenburg has always been a top-quality editor for spoken word content - fast, precise, and easy to use. The new Hindenburg PRO 2 is the ideal coming-together of the original Hindenburg plus the
power of editing-by-transcript. It could be the best thing to happen to podcasting for some time."

"This new version introduces several groundbreaking new features and improvements and is set to revolutionize how audio stories are created, edited, and shared with the world," says James Cridland, Editor and Founder, Podnews.net.

These new features include a revolutionary secure, offline Transcription engine, the ability to edit audio with text anywhere in the Manuscript, audio search functionality, a new sleek user interface, and a supercharged Clipboard.

“We specialize in making high-quality audio storytelling as intuitive and efficient as possible, says Chris Mottes, CEO of Hindenburg Systems. "When we add new features, they must stay true to our mantra: fast, secure, easy-to-use, and untethered."

Mottes continues: "Hindenburg PRO 2 is designed to give you access to the latest technology and workflows, without compromising your independence to work anywhere. With these new features and improvements, we're making it easier than ever before for Storytellers to create professional-quality audio content, and we can't wait for everyone to experience it for themselves."

JackTrip Labs new video integration enhances Virtual Studio music collaboration experience

JackTrip Labs’ Virtual Studio real-time music collaboration platform offers a high-speed, low-latency cloud computing technology that enables musicians to play together remotely while feeling like they’re in the same room. Hundreds of musicians can come together over hundreds of miles to share uncompressed audio in true harmony, making online practice and performance an accessible possibility for amateurs and professionals alike.

This technology also has positive implications for podcasting, especially when host and guests are in different locations.

JackTrip’s recently released integrated video feature adds a whole new dimension to Virtual Studio sessions that promises to make remote rehearsals even more immersive. 

“A lot of people use video collaboration tools in parallel with running JackTrip, and having to go between two different tools is never a great experience,” notes co-founder and CEO Mike Dickey. “What we came up with is something that’s not only great from an integrated experience perspective, but also better, lower latency video than what you get with other tools.”  

According to Dickey, the low latency video feature is now a standard capability in all Virtual Studios. 

Both an entrepreneur and engineer, Dickey knows well the current state of the remote communication market. Along with the rest of the JackTrip team, he has ideas about how to make it better for people who need a higher quality experience, especially musicians. “Bringing an audio first perspective into the tool is very different from what anybody else has done,” he continues. JackTrip's streamlined interface and focus on quality makes it easy to maximize audiovisual experiences in the Virtual Studio.

For bands looking to rehearse conveniently from home or practice before an in-person concert, this new video feature is yet another game changer from JackTrip. 

“We already had that groundbreaking, latency-free audio, and now we also have it with video that is faster than we’re accustomed to. It feels far more authentic,” says Russ Gavin, JackTrip COO and co-founder who also serves as Director of Bands at Stanford University.

With user-friendly controls and revolutionary speed and quality, JackTrip Labs’ innovations continue to narrow the gaps between physical and virtual realities.

 Video Podcast vs Audio Podcast

A new blog post from Golden Goose Creative discusses the important distinction between video and audio podcasting. Here's one paragraph from the eminently readable post.

"Video podcasting is on the rise, but what is it, and how is it any different from audio? Well, honestly, it’s quite similar to audio, especially when it comes to recording and post-production. The biggest difference is the additional element of video and being recorded not just with your voice but your entire face, facial expressions, and everything going on around you that’s captured."

 

"There is also a little bit of difference when it comes to editing the video vs audio, but for the most part, everything else in post-production will stay pretty much the same from scheduling to promoting."
