A Mac may be cool to have but it is a pain making a Podcast (from: Geek News Central)

I spent about 6 hours today going thru the various tutorials on how to use the Mac to create a Podcast. The initial setup was easy although I could not figure out why the Mac would not record iTunes or my Skype calls with what comes standard in windows. Instead I had to go download this flower power application. 
On a Windows machine it is as simple as clicking a check mark box in the built in Audio settings.
When I did get it working I had this annoying delay on the audio, a good 2-3 seconds. I will honestly say I really worked at it to see how easy or difficult it was on a Mac. Audio Hijack Pro seemed to work ok but Garageband sucked.
I’ll be honest I prefer Adobe Audition for windows for Podcasting.
Ok now I realize I am doing these test with a Mac Mini with a gig of Ram on board and a iMic. I also realize a lot of people are doing podcast on Mac’s but for the time being I will stick to my windows machine.
After having the mini a couple of weeks I am yet to discover what makes a Mac so much different. What I would like to do is speak to a Mac Guru that is creating a podcast with a Mac and let’s check some of my settings and see if I am missing anything. You can Skype me at “geeknewscentral” I’m on Hawaiann Standard Time but should be here all weekend.
