Internet Radio: A Sanctuary in the Rubbish Tip

2009-04-12T20:46:00.003-07:00

The internet, it's a whole world of information and entertainment, but every day it fills up just that extra bit more with complete trash. At every corner, popups, banner ads, viruses, spyware, the list goes on, well I've had enough and I'm sure you share my opinion.

So, I hear you ask, what does the rubbish online have to do with internet radio. Absolutely nothing! It's a complete opposite. Back in November of 2004, every evening I sat at home bored to death writing English essays and completing Maths papers, and when I wasn't doing that you'd be guaranteed to find me plonked in front of the TV watching whatever rubbish the BBC scheduler had decided to inflict upon me that night, and don't even think about mentioning a social life, I didn't have an iota.

What changed? Later that month I overheard a friend talking about a radio show he regularly presented online, so I decided to have a listen. Well I enjoyed the show, but then I would, as would anyone hearing someone they knew as part of a broadcast, the strange thing was I enjoyed EVERY piece of music that was played. Now before then I was totally hooked on dance music, I just wouldn't listen to anything else, every time 'Top of the Pops 2' came on TV I'd change channel, any hint of 80's music and I'd be out of the room like a shot. I'd been converted without any explanation as to how.

However, there was something even stranger to follow. The station I had tuned into was an AMATEUR station made up of DJ's of all ages using their own talents and equipment to broadcast from around the UK & USA. Notice I stress the word amateur. Well, I kept listening for a while and it just kept getting better and I'm not joking. For the first time I was enjoying every bit of music I heard. My collection of dance CD's sat in the corner getting dusty and still, to this day haven't had the need to touch it.

But it wasn't just my music taste that had been changed by this experience, it was my whole life. I got involved, the usual shy me suddenly became part of an online family, the social flame inside me lit up for the first time. I was taking part, meeting new people and above all enjoying it! So what are you thinking now? Maybe that this article's just become an advert? Well in a way, yes, that's true. I've got so much out of this experience that I felt it was about time I spread the word, you just can't keep something so good to yourself.

So what am I doing now? Well, as I said, I got involved. Since way back in November I've had a go at presenting and production, and met more people than you could shake a stick at. Right now as I type this article I sit listening to the station that started this all off, and chatting to new friends I would never have met without this fantastic creation. So thanks to Marconi, Faraday, whoever it is that came up with combination of radio and the internet, it really is the best thing since sliced bread!

If you're surfing the net or doing chores about the house, give it a try, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Internet Radio, the clearing in the deep dark forest that is the WWW.

Heres Exactly What Makes Web Audio So Powerful

2009-04-12T20:46:00.001-07:00

Have you ever tried to communicate with another person using just actions and sign language? It gets pretty frustrating, doesn't it? Especially when you know that if you could just SAY a few words, they'd get the picture, almost instantly.

Well, imagine if the website you've put up on show... could "speak". If it could sparkle with the spoken word. What do you think the effect could be?

You see, what the smart website marketers have realised, is that they need to move beyond just written words and striking graphics. They're looking to giving their website? a 'personality'.

BUT? in the cold hearted, faceless world of the internet, being able to reach the audience you want, with sincerity, warmth and with a 'face', doesn't come easily to most.

That is unless you happen to have the skilful knack of knowing what to write, when to write it and are able to string words together to help paint a strong emotional picture in readers minds for your product, service or idea.

Getting all the help we can via other means is crucial in giving us that slight edge.

There's possibly nothing more intimate, more convincing, more realistic for the reader, than to hear a 'voice' behind the website. What it adds, is satisfying helpings of?

LIFE and? CREDIBILITY!

Imagine being able to connect at regular intervals with your customers and clients! How do you think they'll feel when you're able to inform them that there's an exciting offer about to happen and you make sure the message reaches both their eyes, and their ears!

What about using this simple technology to help create a stampede of sales, an abundance of new subscribers, a fleet of qualified prospects, a herd of new referrals!

What about being able to tell your customers that you messed up on the last bit of information you gave them and that you're really sorry. Won't you be able to convey this message better using real live words, than by using written text?

Won't your sincerity, conviction and heartfelt emotion, reach them INSTANTLY, where it matters most? THEIR HEARTS!

How to Add Audio to Video

2009-04-12T20:45:00.001-07:00

Digital media is everywhere you look. Music and video production have made it to the grass roots level thanks to the affordability and widespread use of powerful computers.

Inexpensive digital video cameras are widely available, and older analog video cameras can be connected to a computer through a video card to download movies to the computer for editing, storage, and distribution to friends and relatives over the internet.

It has become fairly easy to edit your own videos, and there are many software packages available aimed at the amateur. The Windows operating system has its own video editing package called Windows Movie Maker that allows you to produce professional-looking videos.

As you explore this exciting new world, you will inevitably come up with the need to edit the audio portion of your video file. The sound quality of most video cameras is not great, so you may want to process the sound or replace it all together with music or voice-overs.

It is very easy to separate the audio from the video. Free software packages that do this task include Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft (if you are working with WMV video files) and VirtualDub (if you are working with AVI files). Either of these programs (and many others) allow you to save the audio portion of video file quickly and easily. Once you have your audio file, you can process it for noise reduction, bring up the volume, add music or do any digital magic to it that you desire.

With many video editing packages, however, it isn't necessary to split the audio to a separate file. Even simple packages like Windows Movie Maker have basic audio editing functions, and you can add separate music or voice tracks and mix all of them together.

If you have a particular audio file that you would like to use in your video (maybe a special effect or a voice over that you have recorded separately) simply add that file to the list of media to be included in the video. Other media formats can be separate video files, picture files or graphics.

The audio file can be placed anywhere on the time-line, and you can use the same file many times without requiring any extra storage space on your computer. For precise placement, zoom all the way into your timeline and place the audio exactly in sync with the video. That's it! You are well on your way to making professional-looking videos!

Alternatives to MP3

2009-04-12T20:40:00.003-07:00

Although MP3 is the most popular format for encoding music, it is by no means the only one. There are two basic methods for compressing audio ? lossless and lossy, and for each of these methods there are many formats.

Lossless compression means that none of the audio data is removed during compression. Lossy compression means that audio data is permanently removed from the audio file. Lossy compression results in smaller files, but there is no way to rebuild the audio data to its original format. MP3 is an example of lossy compression.

Lossy Compression Formats

There are many alternatives to MP3 when it comes to encoding audio files. Microsoft reportedly developed the WMA format to avoid the licensing costs associated with MP3. WMA files can be played with the Windows Media Player that is included with the Windows operating system as well as many other audio players. It features similar encoding rates to MP3 and similar file sizes.

AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the format preferred by Apple and is used for its popular iTunes and iPod products. AAC files can be smaller than MP3 files because it uses more efficient encoding technology. A 96 kpbs AAC file is similar in sound quality to a 128 kbps MP3 file.

Ogg Vorbis is another type of lossy compression and uses .OGG as the file extension. It is an open-source product and unlike MP3, there are no patent restrictions on its use.

Lossless Compression

For the audio purist who insists on the best quality sound possible, lossless compression offers CD quality sound. The tradeoff is larger files sizes ? while MP3 can compress audio in the range of 80% - 90%, lossless compression typically compresses the file by half.

Popular lossless formats include FLAC, Monkey's Audio, and SHN (Shorten). These formats are supported by many audio players and are popular for archiving CD collections as well as for trading music.

Why Arent You Using Audio?

2009-04-12T20:40:00.001-07:00

As use of the Internet continues to grow geometrically, we see an increased demand for information to be provided by a variety of media. Viewing options can range from simple text to PDF documents to video clips. Unfortunately, each option requires more and more resources and technological know-how. As convergence moves inexorably forward, we have to ask ourselves if there is a practical way to combine the best of this technology and still provide the user with a satisfying Internet experience.

The answer, at this stage of Internet evolution, is audio.

Voice, by itself, provides the means to enhance a user's enjoyment of the Internet. Voice conveys many of the intangibles underlying the written word. A voice can touch the human spirit and deliver a message on its' own merits. Audio can build community and maintain relationships.

Audio is the most mature of the streaming technologies and doesn't have the bandwidth requirements associated with video. Any Internet user connecting at 28.8k or better can enjoy FM quality sound without experiencing buffering and other annoyances that can affect video at lower bit rates.

It is common knowledge that people only retain 20% of what they read, but they do remember 70% of what they see and hear. That fact in itself increases the value of an audio message delivered from a website for the typical user. And, the implications of how audio can increase Internet enjoyment for the handicapped are overwhelming.

Streaming audio provides Internet businesses with unlimited opportunities to reach their audience and to simplify their interactions. Streaming audio broadens a product's appeal and helps to stimulate sales. People are comfortable with audio and have few qualms about using it in their day-to-day lives.

Retailers can integrate audio into their operations in several ways. Use it to enhance product descriptions and deliver product information in ways far more persuasive than plain text. Booksellers can have "special events" that offer audio excerpts from selected titles. Art dealers can use voice to give value added information on an artist or a period of history depicted by an artist's work. (Think of those audio tours that museums offer.)

Organizations that specialize in selling educational tools can use audio clips for potential clients to preview and evaluate the material being offered. The ability to sample the product is a potent and practical selling aid.

Business-to-Business sites and corporate Intranets can also harness the power of audio. The need to provide up-to-the-minute information for employees and customers can be well served with streaming audio and the telephone. Integrating audio into the corporate communications mix is a tool that is easy to use and addresses the need to communicate with a distributed work force.

In both the retail and business-to-business marketplace, audio can and should be used to maintain those all important customer relationships. Voice messages add a personal touch that intrigues the listener and encourages them to remain on the site.

Employee training is greatly enhanced with audio. Use it to orient new employees and keep the information archived on the site for easy reference. Sales training can also be archived and quickly retrieved when needed. The ability to offer customized audio training materials on a 24/7 basis makes streaming audio a very versatile and efficient learning tool.

Some words of caution are also necessary. Audio, just like any other value-added technology, has to be used judiciously. It should be employed for a specific purpose and to enhance the text based message being delivered. Think of your audience and how you'd like them to interact with your website. Keep in mind that your visitor may be coming to your site while they're at their place of business and plan accordingly.

The future of streaming audio is bright and filled with promise. More and more Internet users have become familiar with streaming audio and use it everyday. Internet radio broadcasts are extremely popular and are now being employed as effective advertising vehicles. Audio e-mail messaging is becoming widely available and is being positioned as a practical business tool. Consumers are attaching audio messages to greeting cards and experimenting with Internet telephony. Streaming audio will allow the average Internet user the ability to create content that conveys the power of voice and the emotions that it conveys.

So?why aren't you using audio?

Teleseminars, Audio Downloads, Podcasts: Listen Up So You?ll Learn and Earn More

2009-04-12T20:38:00.000-07:00

Internet Marketers love audio. You can't blame them. They used to have to spend weeks, or even months, writing an ebook to have something to sell. Now, they just pick a hot topic, interview an expert for a couple of hours with the recorder turned on, and Bam! They've got a hot new information product.

The audience for these products seem to love audio too. It's certainly quicker than reading a book. Because it can be produced more quickly, information can be more timely. One late summer day in 2005, Google changed how it ranked AdWords. That same night a teleseminar on the subject drew thousands of listeners.

Audio is Great Except for One Problem

Audio looks to be a perfect medium for online learning and communication except for one thing. A lot of folks don't know how to listen very well. Not the kind of listening you need to do if you're going to learn something.

Check with participants right after a teleseminar ends and they say they learned a lot. Ask them about it a few days later and most report they've forgotten exactly what it was they learned. That's true whether it's a seminar, a podcast, or even an audio download. Even when they have the file, most people don't listen more than once.

Listening to learn and to retain is actually a skill that has to be developed. It's not hard. You just have to know a few tricks. Once you do you'll be able to hang on to the key parts of what you hear. You'll remember new knowledge so you can apply it to your own marketing and business efforts. You'll start listening to learn and earn more.

5 Tips For Honing Your Listening Skills So You Can Learn More

Prepare. Give some thought in advance to what the speaker will talk about. Try to determine what you know and don't know about the subject. That way, when the presentation starts, you'll be ready to pick up on those areas you don't know as much about. Download and review any material provided in advance. If you have time, search for related material online and scan to get more background on the subject.

Focus. Once the speaker starts, concentrate. That's actually not as easy as it sounds. Our minds think 4 times faster than a presenter speaks. That's why it's so easy to find your mind wandering while listening. Three quarters of the time your mind is twiddling it's virtual thumbs! You've just got to keep bringing your attention back to the subject. Also, make sure you eliminate distractions. Instead of gripping a phone handset, use a speakerphone or headset. If you're attending a seminar, make sure to sit where you can see and hear clearly.

Find Your Purpose. Determine both before and during the presentation what makes it important TO YOU. It needs to have a purpose ? a concrete, vivid reason. You won't have much motivation to listen without one. If it turns out you can't find a purpose, stop listening. Go on to something that uses your time more effectively.

Look for Patterns. Visualize the patterns of organization in what's being said. It will help you remember key points. Patterns are easier to recall than isolated facts. For example, how does the speaker begin and end each topic? With a brief summary of the main idea? What about details or examples? Are they used to make certain points? Can you easily see the relationship between the points presented? It's likely you'll find more organization in prepared speeches and seminar presentations than teleconferences, particularly interviews. But presenters almost always start with some idea of structure even if they drift off course. Do your best to find it.

Take Notes. It's true what they told you back in school. Taking notes enhances listening and recall. When you take notes, though, don't go overboard with detail or they just become another distraction. Tie them to the patterns and structure you find. Not everything is equally important. Be selective. Think of your notes in terms of review. The one thing that really helps recall is what almost no one does: review notes after the presentation and in the future.

Listen Well and You'll Learn and Earn More

Listening to learn is a skill you have to develop. You've just seen five tips that will help. Once you do you'll be able to more easily remember what you hear in teleseminars, podcasts and audios. You'll remember new knowledge so you can apply it to your own marketing and business efforts. You'll start actively listening and you'll learn and earn more.

Jingles - What Constitutes A Successful Jingle Campaign?

2009-04-05T04:38:00.003-07:00

What constitutes a successful jingle campaign? In this article we will examine and listen to 4 successful jingle campaigns and look for key ingredients to their success.

Jingle Campaign #1, Mr. Chau's Chinese Fast Food: http://www.soundad.com/audio/MrChau.mp3

This radio & TV musical identity has been the cornerstone of Mr. Chau's campaign since 1996 and is still a current hit. In that time span he has grown from 6 to 22 regional locations.

We were asked to find a creative and fun way to reach an across-the-board demographic (including children), with as much of his full menu as possible in the :60 radio spot. We decided that the variety on Mr. Chau's menu needed to be reflected with creative variety so we brought in a multiplicity of personalities and singers and pieced them into an up-tempo musical track punctuated with chopstick percussion. Click or paste the link above to listen.

The 2nd campaign is a :60 radio & TV jingle for the Northern California Marine Association's Boat Shows in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento and San Jose, California. They were targeting a A35-64 demo but also wanted it to appeal to children. We chose reggae music as the vehicle and fun lyrics with great vocals to sell the boating lifestyle. The campaign is relatively new but is a smashing success. Click the following link to hear the jingle "Only in a Boat": http://www.soundad.com/audio/NCMA.mp3

Campaign #3 is a national :30 TV spot (with jingle) that we wrote and produced for DAB (Low Carb) Beer. They wanted to target a specific female audience 25-34 with this low carb offering. They asked us to create something that was a musical cross between the Bangles and Sheryl Crow. Again, this has been a successful campaign for them. Grab a DAB at the link below: http://www.soundad.com/audio/DAB.mp3

Campaign #4, Petaluma Auto Plaza has a huge electronic sign on Hwy 101 in Northern California that we determined was the focal point of their campaign. We decided to "put them on the map" by writing a jingle in a Gospel Revival style: "I Saw the Sign in Petaluma" and we brought in gospel diva Jeannie Tracy (from Whitney Houston's Band) to sing it. http://www.soundad.com/audio/pet_auto_plaza.mp3

In order to create a truly successful jingle branding campaign that will cut through the clutter, a jingle/music production company must be willing to go the distance to help you position your products (or business) predominantly in the public consciousness with creativity and integrity. We spare no expense to get the best creative and musical talent to make our clients sparkle on the airwaves. You should expect the same of any company you choose to partner with. Don't settle for less.

Five Tips to Become a Soundbite Genius

2009-04-05T04:38:00.001-07:00

1. Speak in soundbites to everyone.

Getting key phrases for concepts and ideas across clearly is central to all communication. As a fun practice try to shave off any extraneous details during conversation in your everyday life. In Errol Morris' film *Fog of War* former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara said, *Never answer the question that is asked. Answer the question you wish were asked.* Begin to train yourself to speak only what you want others to hear. In this way you'll be shaping other's perception of you-which is the essence of good media.

2. Answer the first interview question with your sermonette.

In a 1989 interview on the NPR show Fresh Air veteran TV journalist David Brinkley said, *Everyone of them [his guests] will arrive in the studio with some little sermonette in mind, and determined to deliver it. So one thing I do is first ask them a dull, boring question like, what do you think about this. And let them deliver their little sermonette. And then we get to the hard core of what we're there to talk about.* Your first and last points have the most impact so plan and deliver your sermonettes no matter what you're asked.

3. Frame your ideas for your audience.

Jennifer O'Neil, a film producer and director, explained that when shooting background footage (b-roll) she uses a technique called *grounding.* To *ground* the camera must end definitively on an object or scene that signals the viewer that that segment is over. I suggested to her that she probably also used the opening footage to *ground* or shape the beginning of how she wanted a viewer to perceive the scene. In this way you orient your audience to the scene or the material you want them to focus on.

You can apply the same concept to soundbites. Your opening words set the stage for what you want to convey, your final words signify the close, how you want your audience to remember what you've told them. Use your opening and closing statements to anchor your audience to the information you want them to grasp. That way you shape the way they think about your product, service or cause.

4. Tell people what to do.

I love mystery, but this isn't the place for it. Don't leave your audience guessing. Be forthright about the action you want them to take by letting them know why your product or service is necessary for them to have a complete and happy life now. What gap does what you have to offer fill? Be direct in pointing this out so there is no doubt.

5. Live your words.

Get to the point with clarity and insight. The Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer said of composer Astor Piazzolla's music, *I don't think it's [the music] always about embellishment. I don't think it all can be expressed rightly just gliding on the surface of convenient rhythms. This music can't be in fact performed, it has to be lived. And I always can distinguish if someone is flirting with Piazzolla as a convenient item of our commercial industry or if someone really lives the life or the heartbeat of the music of this great composer.*

It's the same with you and your soundbites. Are you living the heartbeat of what you're saying, what you're representing? If not, we hear your false notes, your commercial intent. If so, we know in an instant when your music is true.

Learn how to use any interview, any time, on any topic, to get your business, book, product or cause the publicity-and fame you long for in this soundbite teleclass. http://www.prsecrets.com/

Seven Ways to Warm Your Prospects Using Website Audio

2009-04-02T09:40:00.001-07:00

Gone are the days when putting audio on your website consisted of subjecting your visitors to gaudy musical fanfares and various clich?d sound effects. Fortunately, audio has now become a lot more sophisticated and new techniques that allow audio to be streamed have made it possible to use your own voice as a highly effective marketing tool.

Most visitors to your website will have computers with audio capabilities. Using your own voice, you can deepen the impact of your sales message and develop a stronger connection with your visitors. Many websites using streaming audio to promote and sell services claim that audio increases their conversion by as much as 300%!

Why is audio such an effective marketing tool? It's simple really. It's a well-known fact in consumer psychology that the more senses you engage, the easier it is to communicate a message and motivate a sale. Senses evoke emotion and emotions are memorable. When it comes to surfing the Internet, the sense of hearing is far more powerful than the sense of sight. Internet surfers remember only 20% of what they read, but remember an amazing 70% of what they hear. Visitors respond to your voice in way that cannot be achieved with words alone, no matter how great your copy is. Audio's power comes from its ability to reinforce your message by engaging your visitor's most powerful senses.

Listed below are some of the most powerful ways to use streaming audio on your website:

Introductions: Use streaming audio to introduce yourself, your website and some of your key products or services to your visitors. Doing this removes some of the anonymity of the web experience and helps develop trust between your and your prospect.

Testimonials: It's a proven fact that testimonials that include a photograph appear more credible to visitors that those with text only. Testimonials that include text, a photo AND an audio note are the next best thing to having satisfied customers call your visitors and tell them personally how great your products are!

Assurances: Placing audio notes at important points in your website, such as order forms, or payment links, is an excellent way to reassure visitors about common concerns. Streaming audio can be use to explain the payment process, security issues, merchant account details and any other concerns visitors may have relating to your website.

Instructions: Streaming audio buttons allow you to quickly provide instructions to visitors. A great example of this can be found at http://www.ezinearticles.com. An audio note that explains exactly what you must do to make a successful submission supports each step of the article submission process!

Tips: Over 80% of web surfers will click on link offering a tip? Why? Because they know a tip is a short piece of useful information. Reading a tip is not like reading an instruction manual. It's a chance to gain some information quickly. Provide an audio tip on your site each day and you'll find people just can't get enough of pressing that play button!

Teleconferences and Seminars : Streaming audio is a great way to provide your visitors with playback on seminars and teleconferences.

Thanks You's: Create a streaming audio message to send in emails every time a client or prospect buys your product or service. Acknowledging a purchase personally is a fantastic way to build up customer loyalty and boost repeat sales.

Finally, a brief word of caution! Audio is an effective tool when used responsibly. Don't hit your visitors with audio as soon as they arrive at your site. You never know where people are accessing from or what other sound may be running on their computers. I've read about visitors being really annoyed by audio that played without invitation because they were listening to CD's or were sitting in their workplace. It's important that visitors have control over the audio. A simple invitation to click is all it takes. You'll be surprised at how many people are driven by curiosity and will feel compelled to click the play button. Also take time to prepare your message well. Try to animate your voice and inject some personality into your message by being conversational rather than formal. Most important of all, be confident and be yourself!

wav; Recording Voice or Instruments

2009-04-02T09:38:00.001-07:00

A graduate student in Belfast wrote to me about a project he was doing. It is an inter-active instructional CD on the Tin Whistle.

Obviously here is another application where you would record direct to wav. and forget about the midi. format.

He wanted an authentic sound and midi. would never provide this. You might get close, if you used the right sound card or plug-ins and I will go into this in more detail in later writings about midi.

If you can play an instrument or sing, you will want to record directly to wav.

The procedure is much the same as when you record a tape or L.P. The key element here is to use a very high quality microphone.

Plug the microphone into the microphone input of your sound card which will be the one with the picture of a microphone on it.

Find the software for your sound card, (try accessories, if your computer came with a sound card,) and select the microphone input from your options or file menu. You are all set.

If you have a good sound card, it may have come with a few other features that are useful; If it has a mixer, set the level of your input so it doesn't go into the red. This is important to eliminate 'clipping,' when you record.

'Clipping' is an unpleasant sounding distortion from having the levels too high.

Also, your sound card may have come with some effects processing. These effects must be used 'on the fly.' That means they are utilized while you record rather than applied to the recording later.

Don't be intimidated by this. They are easy to use and a lot of fun. Most likely you should use some of these effects, if you want a more professional sounding recording.

Find the effects in the software for your sound card. These are usually available in what are called 'presets.' This means they are already created for you and given a name, such as 'vocal chorus.' 'Chorus' is an often used effect for vocals. It gives vocals that rich 'singing in the shower' sound.

Reverb and delay are also used to enhance the richness of the tone.

Try some different effects out and select the one that you think sounds best and record with it.

The sound card may even give you the option of mixing your own effects. This will simply require a bit more trial and error but can be very fun and worthwhile.

If you want a really authentic sound of a folk instrument, you may not want any effects at all.

What The Muscle Power of Audio Can Do for Your Site

2009-03-31T09:25:00.001-07:00

How Audio can Influence Sales

Audio can enhance your website by letting your visitor listen to your voice, which is the next closest form of marketing besides a face to face meeting.

Who can use Audio?

Anyone can use audio, it all depends how knowledgeable you are when it comes to designing your site. For those that need help there are plenty of tutorials on how to place audio on your site all over the internet.

Audio and Affiliate Programs-Cause a ripple effect.

One commonly used strategy is to have audio reviews of the different affiliate programs you are associated with.

Find a product that pays a decent commission, write up a review of the product that you are promoting, use your written review as a script. Record the script in either .mp3 or .wav file. Upload the sound file, the website, and your done!

Audio can Increase Conversion Rates

If you are going to use audio clips for the affiliate programs you've chosen to promote, you may very well find that using audio can definitely increase your conversion ratio.

Keep your Audio file as small as possible. One important part for you to keep in mind is the size of your sound file, if the file is to large it will take "forever" to download and the majority of web surfers are impatient. Try and keep your audio review to 60 seconds or under. This should allow your webpage and sound file to download at the same time.

Keep in mind that you can place an audio clip on your site or inside an ebook, some people like audio some don't.

How Audio helps the visually impaired.

It all depends on your preferences, one benefit of using audio on your site is to accomodate the visually impaired.

Audio-Learn one step at a time.

Granted, creating an audio clip may seem a little confusing at first because you have to get familiar with the software you've chosen to use. But like most other tasks in life, practice makes perfect.

Audio-How is the file activated?

There are a couple of ways in which your visitor can activate the audio on your site. One is by clicking on a link, the other involves placing a small amount of code on your site that automatically downloads everytime you get a visitor to the page you've placed the audio clip on.

Audio-How about pop-up's and popunders?

You can also create pop-up's or pop-unders with an audio clip that downloads as the pop-up or pop-under window activates when your visitor goes to exit your site. An example of this would be to use your clip to encourage sign-up's for your ezine.

Audio-Where can you get tutored on this subject?

There are many tutorials on the net that teach people how to create pop-up's or pop-under's, there are also software programs that make the creation process a whole lot easier. There are also plenty of audio recording software programs out there, some are fr**, others cost money.

Final Comments:

By no means am I encouraging you to place audio on every page of your site, leave some pages as just plain text, others with text and a picture, and then text, picture and audio. What works for me may not necessarily work for you, but it never hurts to test. You won't know until you try.

Good luck,

Brian.

DVD Audio: An Introduction

2009-03-31T09:23:00.003-07:00

DVD-Audio format is a musical that is designed to provide better sound reproduction on CD. The new audio format can be used to provide listeners with Advanced Resolution stereo and / or multi-channel (up to a maximum of six channels) music. To be able to play DVD-Audio players must be specifically designed to support the format. Until now, electronics manufacturers announced a series of DVD-Audio, including home decks, portable players and devices for cars. DVD-Audio has a sampling rate up to 192 kHz, compared to a maximum of at least 44.1 kHz CD. It also supports 24-bit resolution, 16 bits compared to CD. The idea behind DVD-Audio is that the producers to give listeners a playback experience that is much more faithful to the original master recording that has already been possible. DVD-Audio discs have a much greater capacity than the CD. This extra space can be used to provide audio with the highest possible quality or more for registration, or provide additional documentation, such as artist, photos and video, all of which can be viewed on a TV screen. In addition, the DVD-Audio currently on the market for brands such as Warner group of labels have the audio content in both DVD-Audio and Dolby Digital surround sound to be played on DVD players. DVD-Audio discs are navigable in the same way as DVD Video when played on a drive connected to a TV. Users can select tracks from a menu on the screen, and with an Internet connection, click on the links to visit the sites. Both format discs are a good way to start the market for DVD-Audio players are still relatively rare. The market will also be helped by combined DVD Video and audio players.

MP3 vs. WMA

2009-03-31T09:23:00.001-07:00

There are only a few audio compression formats out there, just as there are only a few sizes of image compression (May you have heard of them: JPG, GIF, BMP). Two of the most popular audio formats WMA, or Windows Media Audio and MP3 (MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, Audio Layer 3). WMA is the older audio format, produced by Microsoft, to work with Microsoft Windows Media Player. WMA compression format was designed specifically for this format and therefore can not be converted to other audio formats. The sound quality of MP3 and WMA audio formats tend to be significantly different. WMA is a quality of streaming audio format of the telephone line speeds (or perhaps 30 Kbps). At the same speed WMA almost as if a FM level of audio quality, but not entirely. At 128 kbps, Microsoft claims that WMA is near CD quality, although many are denied. WMA is not expected more complete. The compression provides relatively small audio files and requires less processing power to run. Deminishing therefore retain a niche as MP3 has become more popular and widely used. MP3 audio compression was developed in Germany in 1991 by the Fraunhofer Institute. MP3 typically provides higher sound quality WMA because they use the perception of audio coding to compress CD-quality sound by a factor of 12 Accordingly, the MP3 has become almost universal standard audio between use and the broadcasting. Provides CD-quality sound reasonable size and compression at high speed continuously. Beware, but low rates, quality MP3 probably suffer. James Bradley is an editor http://www.scinet.cc SciNet.cc, a website containing many helpful consumer electronics review articles.

Fortunately, if you follow the Ten Commandments can people stay on your site, check whether the product or service most often and buy more of what they sell. This is not right? So without further ado, here are the ten commandments to follow when you add audio to your site. Commandment # 1 # configure sound to play automatically when people come to your site. Visitors have different groups with different speakers, some the size of all courses, some are already listening to music, some are not even begin to speakers. If you start to play automatically sound you may lose potential customers. It is much Easer out of a site or return button and it comes to finding ways to disable the sound. An exception to this offer is the use of pop-up. The pop-up windows can be closed by visitors, but left on its website. The same applies to the late pop-ups, these windows can be very effective to move the attention from visitors, even if some people do not like May, it was very successful in some uses. Commandment No. 2 sounds like a Pro! You need professional audio on your site. Everything else will see as an amateur. If you view your own poetry or tell a personal story or marketing yourself, you must use your own voice. But if you try to sell you something, and the voice is not completely cut, then you have a professional voice of the person to record audio. It will make a difference. For a list of records available for professionals offers http://www.web-audio-reviews.com/voiceover.htm www.web-audio-reviews.com/voiceover.htm # 3 when it is used for the Audio to sell or market the cards! Long audio messages have their place in line and they are rarely on the first page of a site. Keep your messages short and concise, to the point, and easy to follow. This can make all the difference in his audio message. Try to keep your promotional audio message around 30 to 90 seconds. Advertising is only 30 seconds and do very well follow his example and do the same. Commandment No. 4 Be prepared! If you or someone else to sound recording and writing the script. Type a word with the word, law, practice, high and changed if necessary. If you just flew as if. Others have heard the criticism and script before recording. Adjust the script by removing unnecessary language, length cutting, and the text for maximum effect. Commandment No. 5 When you have your own sound, smile! Through his voice. But remember, if it does not sound like a professional even when you smile, and then get one! Commandment # 6 Do not overload your website with audio. If you have too many audio to select the most choose to none. Even when you have just a few buttons for audio on its Web site that encourages people to listen to your audio message. A single button right audio is often enough to get their input. Commandment No. 7 use music! The use of music in more votes has 100 times more professional and more attractive. Add a simple introduction to music that fits the theme of your site, with sound effects if done well can make a big difference in how the message sounds. Remember to use music that is free of charge or music that you have the right to use. Place your favorite song by the Beatles on their website, you can get in trouble. You can find more music without copyright resources here. http://www.web-audio-reviews.com/royalty-free-music.htm www.web-audio-reviews.com/royalty-free-music.htm offers # 8 Have a point! May this good obvious, but many people place audio on your site, not only because it can be for any reason. Nobody cares about how his fantasy of sound, if they do not much point to it. They have a purpose and a reason for the use of sound. Commandment No. 9 Tell people to listen to your music! A single audio button on your site is not enough. You have to tell people what they want to hear what it is, how long it is, and click to listen. Do not assume that people will find your account, people need to be told what to do on the Web, and the same will say listen to the audio. In addition, visitors indicates the length of your message that you're not afraid to listen because he knows how long it is. Research has shown that some people do not listen to an audio message in fear that May be too long. If there is a long message and told his visitors so that they are ready for one-hour audio message. Commandment No. 10 test sound! Not only the audio on your site thinking it will increase sales. Try to obtain the views of their visitors, family and friends, and then try division. To find out if sales are up sound. If not share its test site with different messages and without audio, so you never know if it will help or hinder your website.

Many customers in the business world is online about shopping online for one reason: they are either too late to go to stores, are not as many people, in May or they simply want to buy in the comfort of your home. Whatever the reason for May, we can conclude that they are not in a store, but is in place. Just because your business is online does not mean that you ca not business so that for a typical store. Compare your site to a clothing store in an email, for example. When the customer enters a sales representative normally at the door and asked for help. A site not normally, but you can if you want. Burn an audio clip that includes not only a sales pitch and introduction but also a site map that contains important parts of the site. Not only did you personally with your customers, are also pointing in the direction of your product. Here are some tips to keep in mind about audio clips: # 1 - Make sure you can disable There is nothing worse than listening to some of drones on how they have made enormous sums money, and you too! If you include audio with your site, make sure to include a stop button. One might think that sales location is interesting and informative, but the client may not. May you also want to play again to choose a loser, so be sure to include a play button as well. # 2 - Take a picture that is perhaps just another reason to watch television much, but when you hear the sound, we want to do something. Take a picture of you and put on the new button and stop playing. Add a personal touch and also give people something to do with your listening. # 3 - You should not take too long people have little attention to you and your page so that it was shot in the right direction, then stop. You can always include more audio files with success elsewhere on the site. # 4 - Do not be too high, it is difficult to know how high to make your clips, but it is better to be more prudent to be high. The user can always increase the volume if you are interested. Adding a volume slider next to the game and stop buttons and below the image around its appearance. Therefore, you should have four large pieces of advice when seeking to add an audio file to your site. If you can do it yourself, add one up there, but if not around, find someone to help you. It is relatively easy and should not be too expensive. Good luck and be creative!

Many people hate the way they sound on tape (me included), they feel they can not perceive a biological product. The first time you hear on the tape that was about to die. We really need to practice to speak correctly. You get the terrible Uh and Um syndrome and the monotone voice virus but take heart? You can do it. Slow down and focus on what to say and do the changes of emphasis and tone of voice. Bottom line? Add a little personality. I'll admit that I am not a professional speaker?

Most visitors to your site with computers have the potential noise. With their own voice, can you elaborate on the impact of the sales message and develop a stronger relationship with their visitors. Many sites use streaming audio to promote and sell services claim that audio increases their conversion by nearly 300%! Why is sound in such a powerful marketing tool? It is very simple. It is well known in the psychology of consumers who feel more comfortable, the easier it is to communicate a message and motivate a sale. Senses evoke feelings and emotions are memorable. When it comes to surfing the Internet, sense of hearing is much stronger than the sense of sight. Customers remember that 20% of what they read, but I remember an incredible 70% of what they hear. Visitors can meet your voice so that it can not be achieved by words, no matter how big is your copy. Its power comes from its ability to reinforce his message for a commitment for even the most powerful sense. You will find below are some of the most effective ways to use streaming audio on its website: Introduction: The use of streaming audio for you, your website and some of the most important products or services for users. To do this, remove some of the anonymity of the Web experience and helps build trust between you and your point of view. Witnesses: There is evidence that the testimonies which include a picture appears more credible to the public with only the text. Statements that contain text, image and audio note is the best thing to having satisfied customers call your visitors and tell them personally how are your products!

I read about visitors being really annoyed by audio that played without invitation because he was listening to the CD, or were sitting in their workplace. It is important that users control the sound. A simple invitation to click is all it takes. You'll be surprised at the number of people are motivated by curiosity and will feel compelled to click the play button. They also had time to prepare his message. Try to animate your voice and inject personality into your message by being rather than formal conversation. Most important of all, be safe and be yourself!

2009-03-18T09:27:00.003-07:00

1. Speaking at the Sound Bite in the world. Getting key phrases of concepts and ideas with clarity is essential for all communications. In practice, fun trying to shave any foreign details during the conversation in everyday life. In Errol Morris film * Fog of war * Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, said: * Do not answer the question is asked. To answer the question you asked .* Begin to train you to speak only of what other people want to listen. This gives you the opportunity to experience you who is the essence of good media. 2. To answer the question with his first interview Sermonette. In an interview in 1989 on NPR show Fresh Air veteran television journalist David Brinkley said, * Everyone of them [customers] will arrive in the studio with a few small Sermonette in mind, and determined to deliver it. This is something I need to do is to be a dull, boring question like, what do you think about it. And they delivered their Sermonette shortly. And when we arrived at the base of what we're here to talk about .* Your first and last points have the greatest impact to plan and execute its Sermoneta whatever their request. 3. The framework of his ideas to the public. Jennifer O'Neill, a film producer and director, explained that when filming scenes of substance (b-roll), using a technique called land .* * * * A floor of the aircraft must stop definitively on an object or a scene indicates that the segment is over. I suggest that probably also used images from the opening of the land * * form or the beginning of how we wanted a viewer to receive the scene. In this way, you guide the public stage, or material that you want to focus on. You can use the same concept of Sound Bite. His first words to lay the foundation for what you want to spend his last words to the end, how you want the public to remember what I said. Use your opening and closing statements to anchor your audience to the information you want to achieve. This way you silent mode of thinking on the product, service or cause. 4. Telling people what to do. I like the mystery, but this is not the right place for her. Do not leave your audience guessing. To be honest about the action to take them know why your product or service is necessary to have a happy life and now. What difference does fill you offer? Be direct in this clarification if there is no doubt. 5. Live his words. In point of clarity and vision. Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer said of Astor Piazzolla, the composer of music * I do not think [music] still on Beautification. I do not think we can all speak with reason, that drag on the surface of the music appropriate. This music is not the fact is meant to be lived. And I always possible to distinguish whether a person is flirting with Piazzolla as part of our industry, or if someone really live their lives or the pulse of the music of this great composer .* It's the same with you and with your Sound Bite. Do you live in the heart of what you say, is happening? If not, we learned of the false notes, your commercial intent. If so, we know that, at a time when music is present. Learn to use any interview at any time on any topic, get your business, book, or lead to the publication and notoriety, as provided in this class telecommunications Sound Bite. http://www.prsecrets.com/ target = _New http://www.prsecrets.com/ Copyright (c) 2004 Harrow Susan.

2009-03-14T21:47:00.001-07:00

1.Thou create audio products as the fastest way to get out with a product. Forget e-books. They take time to build, especially if you are a typist slooooow. You can make a product sound in a single day instead of weeks or months of an e-book. If you need to create an e-book provides a sound first, and a few transcribing audio into a Word file. You clean it and add to the chapter head, and an index and Bam! You have an e-book 2.Thou with a microphone for recording. I think that by using a headset is much more flexible than a microphone. A microphone headset gives you the freedom to move around his head, and you do not feel limited insofar as it is placed in front of a microphone table. 3.Thou not be afraid to register your vote. Many people hate the way they on the soundtrack (including me) and feel they can not develop a biological product. The first time you hear on the tape was that I was going to die. It occurs to speak properly. You get off Uh, and fears Um syndrome and monotone voice of the virus, but take heart? What can you do. Slow down and focus on what they say and interfere with emphasis and tone of his voice. In a word? Add a little personality. I will admit that I am not a professional speaker? It takes practice and get better. Here are some books you want to leave before May: fast and easy to talk effectively Dale Carnegie secrets of success Speakers: How you can motivate, Captivate, and persuade Lilly Walters 4.Thou must add the intro and outro of good music, if you really want to add a professional polish their products, we must add the intro and outro music. You know that good music that is heard at the beginning of his just before someone starts the introduction. You can make this area a try: frontandbackmusic.com for several demos. 5.Thou use different audio formats for its product info a couple of ways to create an audio product is to interview a person on the phone and save it, or simply make a simple jaw session of their own. To keep things simple when I recorded on my own, I write a few points to be used as corridors of memory to keep track during the recording sessions. In addition, when using the computer program that allows you to stop, so you can get your thoughts together and then start the process without registering a jump. 6.Thou use different formats to hear the sound of their product. At the publication of his audios which have different sizes to choose from. You can use. Waves,. MP3,. Carnero files. Files wave occupy a larger space in megabytes, and pigs. MP3 and RAM (Real Player files) to take the minimum amount of space and is good for streaming audio on the Web. If you are distributing CD-audio to what is preferable to use the wav. In this way, you can listen to any CD player. Here is a short notice when the sound recording. Please note that you have space on your hard drive. Two hours of recording session will take up to 1.3 gigabytes of space wav. I love to write and edit in smaller intervals and burn them onto a CD-RW only to get off my drive. 7.Thou financial resources used for audio. I give all my bubble pack chargers and CD cases outside of eBay. They have a good offer. -- I get my CD in Diskfaktory.com duplicates, as they can carry small quantities of 50. Otherwise, we would not get anything done before you know you have a winner. 8.Thou be fun to create audio products that I have to say I love the creative process and it is to give a new meaning when you sign a product and can read and listen on the fly. You get the feeling that this thing is really meeting. And when you add the music you really have a sense of satisfaction. Creating audio is really instant gratification when it comes to creating information. I love it? At the time of this writing, I work with my wife on a product and I interview and make her an explosion. She made mistakes and make them and stand idly by and laugh. My wife and UH UM syndrome, so we are trying to get it healed? But the fact is that we have a good time. Tip: Use a brand to add to two microphones to my computer. You must increase the volume to be normalized. 9.Thou need to build an empire of audio information, if you really want to get a shot in the business of information products are easier and more pleasant way of doing so. As fast as you can save and change these things can quickly turn off and begin to make a little money. The CD and audio tapes have greater value and can get more of them after selling only an e-book. 10.Thou must learn to use the software for audio. The software can be expensive. Most gurus recommend Sounforge but I prefer a program called Cakewalk plasma. This software is half the price of SoundForge and is very versatile. Well, it's here. Some good advice so that it can begin to build his empire of sound.

Why I Hate Flash Audio and What I Did About It

2009-03-14T21:46:00.003-07:00

I love the words sound. I have been listening to seminars, conferences and books on tape for years. I downloaded. Teleseminar lost has been signed? Simply download the MP3 (or Real Media or Windows Media or QuickTime) and the file is almost as good as - perhaps better. But I do not like streaming audio of the type that you can not find the download, and I think the new trend of using Macromedia Flash to provide audio clips on the Web particularly irritating. Why? Because I do not want to sit in front of my computer screen to hear anything. The only time I could do, it would be if I had to take notes, or if the recording was a set of instructions on how to do anything with a computer program. When I'm on my computer, in general, I am determined to do anything that requires concentration (as writing). I want to hear me when I am away from my computer and do something that covers my hands, but not my attention. In my case, especially when I run and when I am cooking. And if I could theoretically near my laptop on the passenger seat while I run, I am not (yet, anyway) to have an Internet connection, going 65 miles per hour. In addition, the car stereo speakers is much more than a notebook computer. The point of podcasting, after all, is to allow users to download and listen to their free time, like RSS news aggregators let you collect your blog and other news at their own convenience. The only streaming audio clips (. Carnero, and Flash) does not give you this option. Snarken and outside me. And yes, I think we realize that people want to protect their intellectual property rights and there is a reason why not to use streaming audio download. We respect. But I do not want to sell or disclose their documents. I want to listen in my time. For users of streaming audio, I ask the question: Would you rather I did not hear? Are you sure you would prefer that I lose advertising as a whole? Because this is what happens before I thought of a way Flash around the barrier. In May, I made one of my best investments in 2005 and bought $ 10 mini-stereo audio cable. You will find enclosed an end to the laptop headphone jack at one end and an audio recorder microphone port. Or I connect the other end of the cable into the microphone port on a notebook computer and record it on my computer to play on my new MP3 player. (Actually, my favorite is the recording software free program Audacity, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ available in versions for Windows, Mac and Linux.) Works like a charm. Now, I have access to all sorts of things that had never heard before, through a simple cable. Now all we need is a car stereo with an MP3 player built in (c) 2005 Sallie Goetsch, Author-izer Sallie Goetsch began to help others with their writing at the age of nine years.

How to Create Professional Audio Books from Scratch

2009-03-12T08:28:00.003-07:00

My name is Alan Twigg and I write this article to give advice to any person who proposes to create their own professional audio books. In the New Year I came with the idea of creating professional children's stories and offering them for download on the Internet. There is, however, even if I had someone to write stories - my mother - and someone to promote the stories? I, I knew that nobody knew how to record the stories professionally. I knew I should be relatively simple, as I just wanted to make an audio-book contains the speech. I started doing research on Google - but what I find articles that had both technical gibberish? I was rather than outside. So I went to my music store to get advice about what to buy. He decided to use my computer to create audio books, and that is what I bought: 1 microphone 1 pop-screen (which is equivalent to a piece of cloth that is placed directly in front of the microphone ' stop his jump $) 1 micro Study Group 1 projects (Wavelab) 1 USB audio / MIDI interface (122 U.S. TASCAM with phantom power) 1 pair of heaphones Everything came to U.S. $ 650 (800) dollars. I connected my audio / MIDI interface (which is in principle a very good external sound card in one case) to my computer via the USB cable. Then, set up the microphone and microphone cable attached to the MIDI interface. After installing the software, I was ready to begin. The results were overwhelming, and I think Wavelab software powerful and incredibly easy to use. Some books sound recording for the first time that municipalities have my copy ready before starting recording. I pin leaves text that I will read in front of me on the wall. Then, about 8 inches from the microphone, start talking. The most natural May be the most interesting is his listeners. I realized that it is better to stand in front of the microphone and make gestures in the same way that when you speak to a close friend. If it is still stiff as a statue, you encounter the same way in the recording. Another thing I do before starting recording is for me to get a good mood. Again, this will increase the effects of his recordings. I always listen to some songs exciting and enthusiastic obtain before starting. You must also ensure that you keep the same distance from the microphone. That's all? I hope this article will spare some time to create your own recording studio and I wish you every success with its audio-books. The author of this article is Alan Twigg.

Without loss of compression means that no audio data is removed during compression. With the loss of audio-compression means that data are permanently removed from audio files. With the loss of compression results in smaller files, but it is not possible to reconstruct the audio data in its original format. MP3 is an example of lossy compression. Lossy compression formats, there are many options when it comes to MP3 encoded audio files. Microsoft has developed the WMA licensing in order to avoid the costs associated with MP3. WMA files can be played with Windows Media Player included with the Windows operating system, as well as many other audio players. It has similar prices for MP3 encoding and even the size of files. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is preferred by Apple and is used for its popular iTunes and iPod. AAC files can be less than MP3 files, increasingly use encryption.

Five Tips to Become a Soundbite Genius

2009-03-08T03:30:00.001-07:00

1. Speaking Soundbite anywhere in the world. Obtaining a key phrases of concepts and ideas is clearly the center of all communications. In practice a pleasure to try to defuse unnecessary details while shaving during the conversation in their daily lives. * In Errol Morris film Fog of War * Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, said: * never answer the question is asked. In order to answer any questions you want asked .* Start to train you to speak only what you want to listen to others. This gives you a new way to the perception of yourself which is the essence of good media. 2. In response to the first interview with the question Sermonette. In an interview in 1989, NPR show costs veteran television journalist David Brinkley said * Each of them [customers] come to the studio with some of Sermonette it in mind, and determined to deliver. Hence, the only thing I have to do is ask for a dull, boring questions like, what do you think about this. And let them deliver their grandchildren Sermonette. And when we reach the core of what we're here to talk about .* His first and last points have the greatest impact to plan and carry out their sermonettes no matter what you asked. 3. Frame your ideas to your audience. Jennifer O'Neil, a film producer and director, explained that when the shooting background images (B-Roll), which uses a technique called the country .* * * * A field of the camera should stop Definitive to an object or scene signals that the public segment that has disappeared. I suggested that she probably also be used in the opening scenes * * field or form the beginning of how they wanted a viewer to perceive the scene. In this way, you target your audience to the stage or the material you want to focus on. You can use the same concept to Soundbite. The first words lay the foundations of what he wants to convey, his last words, it means, how you want your audience to remember what I said. Use the opening and closing statements to ensure their public information that you are trying to achieve. That way you shape the way we think of the product, service or cause. 4. Tell the people what to do. I love mysteries, but this is not the place for her. Do not let your audience guessing. Be honest about the action you want to let them know why your product or service is necessary for them to have a happy life and now. What difference does what it offers you fill? Please directly to this point so there is no doubt. 5. Live your words. Come to the point of clarity and vision. The Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer said of Astor Piazzolla, the composer of music *, I do not think [music] always embellish. I do not think anyone will be able to speak with reason, it just drag on the surface rhythm practice. This music is not really to be lived. And I always possible to distinguish whether a person is flirting with Piazzolla as a commercial element in our industry, or if someone really live your life or the heartbeat of the music of this great composer .* The same is true with you and your Soundbite. If you live in Heartbeat what you say, what do they represent? If not, listen to their false notes, but commercial. If yes, we know that in a time when his music is true. Learn to use the interview at any time on any subject, to get your business, book, the product or result in the publication and notoriety that in the long Soundbite TV. http://www.prsecrets.com/ target = _new http://www.prsecrets.com/ Copyright (c) 2004 Susan Harrow.
