The recorded .WAV audio files are in the folder called PODCASTS

The .WAV audio files are useful as-is, but they've been recorded as Multi-Channel or Poly-Channel. This means all of the inputs of the RØDECaster have been recorded independent of each other.

The most popular file for uploading podcasts directly to the internet is known as the Stereo Mix. This means all of the channels have been mixed together into a 2 channel audio file. If you want to extract this file from your multi-channel recording, you will need to continue to the next steps.
