Podcasting in the Classroom with Vocaster

In today’s rapidly changing education environment it can be a challenge to keep students engaged and inspired. Educators are looking for new ways to address the varied learning styles of their students, and podcasting has emerged as a unique way to explore subjects.

Vocaster ensures that student’s voices are captured in high detail, ensuring an engaging listening experience. Vocaster’s intuitive design is accessible for users of all technical levels, and the innovative features allow students to focus on content creation rather than troubleshooting complicated equipment. Vocaster is compatible with headphones with a 1/4″ jack and any XLR microphone, ensuring a seamless integration with the vast majority of learning environments without significant investment in additional equipment

Adding the Focusrite Vocaster to your educational resources can help support innovative and inclusive teaching methods. Podcasting allows students the opportunity to more actively participate in their learning journey, and the Vocaster supports that by not letting technical challenges get in the way of your student’s creativity.

Podcasting Feature Highlight: Enhance

The Enhance function on the Vocaster can add warmth and presence to your voice, eliminating the need for compression and EQ processing. Simply pressing the Enhance button on the top of the Vocaster enables this feature. Enhance offers four podcaster-approved voice presets to bring out the best in any voice. The presets can also be tweaked inside of Vocaster Hub.

Podcasting Feature Highlight: Auto Gain

The Auto Gain function on the Vocaster will set the microphone input levels automatically, resulting in a consistent and optimal signal level. This feature is perfect for students new to recording audio. Auto Gain helps your students avoid distorted audio and will save time during post production by reducing the need for manual level adjustments. Auto Gain can be enabled with the button on the top of the Vocaster, or via the Vocaster Hub companion software.

BEAT MAKING WITH CLASSICAL MELODIES

Nahre Sol, at this point, can fairly be called a YouTube sensation. Since launching her channel in 2017, her signature blend of piano performances, music-theory explainers, challenges, vlogs and short documentaries have garnered nearly three-quarters of a million subscribers. She’s also an accomplished artist in her own right, having performed around the world, composed for film and video games, and released her own debut album, Alice in Wonderland in 2020.

Novation hooked Nahre up with a Circuit Rhythm of her own, and challenged her to spend a month getting to know it and seeing what kind of music would result from the process. Watch the video below to see what she makes of her new hardware, find out how she gets to grips with sampling for the first time, and learn how she puts her own distinctive spin on the art form.
