PadVibeA soundboard for podcasters
Keep your intros, stingers and music beds one tap away, so the show keeps its rhythm and you keep your focus.
Editing jingles into a recording takes time. Playing them live as you talk keeps the pacing natural and saves the edit.
PadVibe gives every sound its own pad. Loop a music bed, fire a stinger on a key press, and fade levels with a fader mapped to a hardware slider. If you use a RODECaster Pro, its pads can trigger PadVibe over MIDI.
A working setup in five minutes
Add your sounds
Drop your intro, outro, stingers and beds onto pads. Name and colour them so you can find them at a glance.

Assign keys or learn MIDI notes. Pick the output that feeds your mixer or recorder.
Tips from the way PadVibe works
- Put long beds on a looping pad, mark it as a background pad, and link it to a Music fader so you can duck it under your voice.
- Use tabs to keep a bank per segment or episode.
- Use the countdown timer to see how much of a clip is left before you need to speak.
- To record PadVibe together with your voice, send it to a mixer channel on your audio interface, or capture a virtual device such as BlackHole or VB-Cable in your recording software.
- Keyboard keys work while PadVibe is the active window. For hands-free triggering, use a MIDI controller.
