in terms of players, landed on AntennaPod and happy since ever after.

In terms of recording... Well, Audacity do have it's issues and would not recommend IF there were any other decent options. OBS may be worth a shot (despite weird setup if you need audio-only podcast).

Been struggling a bit with PipeWire setting up headphones and various different microphones, but that may just be my lack of experience and time investment :|

#howTo #OBS #audioOnly

thx for the hint @KasTas, based on your input I did a quick net search and found this:

To record only audio in OBS Studio, go to File -> Settings -> Output, make sure Advanced mode is selected. Open Recording tab and choose Custom Output (FFmpeg) in dropdown. Choose e.g. mp3 as container, disable Video encoder and edit the rest of settings to suit your needs.
This will save the output to .mp3 directly and you can use a separate profile for that in case you're also using OBS for normal video recording.

Thx @KasTasMykolas , for mentioning the recording audio only option in OBS in the first place, and @Castopod to ask the community the general question about software use for #podCast creation so this conversation and hint could come up.

👍
