Garage Band

Even if this software, popular amongst Apple users, is primarily intended for musiciens, it can also be used to record your shows.

Handling Garage Band is pretty intuitive. You can easily add effects to your voice and drag your jingles in to edit your show.

The upside: Garage Band incorporates a notepad, rather convenient to use as a conductive thread for your shows.

Adobe Audition

Audition shouldn’t disorient you if you are a big user of Adobe tools. The software will allow you to record your programs quite simply, whether you are alone or with several other people thanks to the multi-track management.
