While you will already be familiar with Hi-D audio from experiencing surround sound in movie theatres and in your house entertainment center, an advanced leading edge technology is bringing the same experience to your headphones. Dolby’s new surround sound system lets you experience the sensation of surround sound right in your headphones.

Podcast listeners don’t always have to own special new headsets to appreciate the quality of hi-def audio. For the past few years, live music lovers have traded high-definition music files online . Usually, these files are prime quality field recordings made at live concerts, often authorised by musicians.

In uncompressed, lossless formats, these files can take up huge amounts of space. So, high-definition audio post production systems must be supplied with large hard drives and maxed-out memory chips to process these files.

As a consequence, many podcast producers are introducing themselves to the arena of high definition audio post production. While many of the free audio editing applications on the market handle post production quite well, none adequately process the high definition elements required for true surround sound. To achieve true Hi-D audio post production on a desktop PC, many sound editors may end up purchasing full media production suites.

Windows users accustomed to post production software like insolence can expect to spend a touch more money to achieve high-definition podcasts and audio recordings. The Vegas media production suite, while designed primarily for video and film production, contains a sophisticated high-definition audio post production module. Using Vegas with the video elements turned off, editors can compose and edit audio in full 5.1 surround sound formats.

Apple users accustomed to using the popular GarageBand tool for podcasting must also invest in some new software for hi-def audio post production. The favored Logic Pro software package offers podcasters and other audio producers a dynamic set of tools for music creation in full surround sound. While this Hi-D audio post production tool is one of the most expensive packages on the market, editors using Logic regularly save important amounts of money compared to hiring advanced equipment at pro recording flats.
