This kit includes an 8-Channel USB Mixer,
dynamic microphone, desktop microphone stand, mic cable, headphones,
carrying case and Cubase LE recording software - everything that you
need for professional recordings of your podcasts. The MultiMix USB
Mixer can send up to 2 tracks (8 channels of input mixed down to stereo
through USB) of audio simultaneously to your computer. You can record,
mix, and edit your show with the included Cubase LE software.
The Alesis Podcasting kit also comes with 30
days of free podcast hosting on www.alesispodcast.com. This provides
the novice, as well as professional, podcaster an easy-to-use solution
for hosting and promoting podcasts. During your 30 day free trail you
can post up to 500Mb of Podcast episodes with unlimited bandwidth!
The Alesis Podcasting Center also makes it easy
to upload and promote your podcasts. No tricky third party software to
embed your XML files. Just register and upload your MP3's. As the file
uploads to the server it will automatically aggregate the file out to
the web (iTunes, Podcast Alley, web search engines, etc.) so everyone
will know about your new show.
