We provide tools for podcasters and broadcasters

Podcasting

  • Total freedom — you pick the subject, the language and how long an episode runs. Nobody talks over you.
  • Room for the niche — go as deep into one subject as you like and still find the people who care about it, anywhere in the world.
  • A low bar to start — no studio to book, no licence to apply for, no slot to be given. The first episode can go out this week.
  • Listeners who stay — podcast audiences are famously loyal. What grows around a show is a community, not a crowd.

Broadcasting

  • The pull of live — the adrenaline of going on air, and answering your listeners in the moment, is something no recording gives you.
  • Everything in one hour — music, short news, entertainment and your own personality, inside a format that holds it together. You dig out new songs and shape what your station sounds like.
  • A frame to work in — fixed slots and a clear format are not a limit; they give a show its rhythm and its professional footing.

Whether you already have years of experience or you are just starting out, a good microphone, a computer and the right tools are genuinely all it takes to begin. We would like to make that part easy: the tools we think are essential are free for the community. Choose your tools, try them now, and start your exciting journey.

Why are they free? Because we want your voice to be heard. Podcasting and radio get better the more different people take part — every new voice adds something no one else can. So nothing should stand between an idea and an audience: whoever wants to podcast or broadcast should simply be able to. These tools are not brand-new experiments — they are built on proven foundations that have matured and grown over the last 35 years. Thanks to modern AI technologies, we are now able to present them in a fresh and modern look.

If you want to run these tools in an enterprise environment and need deeper integration into your workflows, or with the hardware and software you already have, ask us about our commercial services and the enterprise editions of these tools. With over 35 years of experience in the broadcast industry, we can support you in planning, building or refreshing your studio environment. Just ask if you need our expertise or consulting.

About

Built by Micromedia AG

Digimedia is the broadcast software brand of Micromedia AG, building tools for broadcasters since 1992.

Everything is engineered around one rule: when you're on air, it has to work.

Digimedia speaks the audio-over-IP standards your studio already runs — AES67, RAVENNA, Dante and Axia/Livewire — so it fits into your existing infrastructure instead of replacing it. Micromedia AG is also an official dhd.audio distributor, bringing DHD consoles and Digimedia software together from a single source.

Our experience runs deeper than these six tools: we also build studio communication systems end to end — SIP phones and codecs, video-wall compositing, audio routing across Dante, Livewire and RAVENNA, automated music and clock scheduling, AI-assisted music analysis, and the dynamics, noise suppression and text-to-speech processing that shape the on-air sound.

Micromedia AG combines classic Visual Studio and GCC C++ with modern JavaScript technologies powered by Vite. While our core engines and libraries are built on C++ code developed and optimized over the last 35 years, the user interfaces are based on modern JavaScript technologies and implemented with the help of state-of-the-art vibe-coding — giving our proven technologies a fresh look and feel.

  • Swiss software house since 1992
  • Built for professional AoIP studios
  • Direct support from the developers
  • Developed by experienced software engineers
  • macOS, Windows and Linux development
  • From small single-binary apps to large client-server systems with 1000+ clients
