Success With Digital Audio

This is a lens about creating digital audio products. Maybe you want to create downloadable mp3s, perhaps you want to create CDs and get them fulfilled for you. You might want to put audio on your website.

This lens helps you get started with digital audio. I recommend mics, editing software, CD burning software, mp3 conversion software, mp3 trimming software...

I've been recording high quality audio for more than 20 years, and I've been using digital audio for about 10. I'm sharing what I've learned in that time to make it easier for you!

New audio survey

What's YOUR biggest question?

questionI've done some research about what people want from digital audio.

What is the biggest problem that people reported with audio?

These were the biggest five issues:

1. Not knowing where to start with audio.
2. Not knowing what mic to buy, or where to get them.
3. Not knowing about CD fulfilment & distibtion and where to go.
4. Not knowing where to get good affordable graphics.
5. Don't know how to use audio editing tools like Audacity.

By far the most frequent problem was not knowing where to start with audio.

The problems included how to record, what software to use, whether they needed a digital voice recorder, whether they needed to go into a studio, what was possible at home, and what to do first. Questions also included how I set everything up - the physical setup and the software configuration and settings.

The survey was complied from questions to forums, answers to specific questions I asked via Askdatabase, 1:1 questions from clients, email discssions and questions I have had from workshops.

Cool Audio Site

Learn what mic to get!

michttp://highvalueaudiosecrets.com

This is my main site for audio products. Get a free video explaining what mic you need and why!

So many people start recording with a mic that really does not do their voice justice.

And that's a shame, as it's never been easier and more cost-effective to get a studio quality mic that plugs straight into your PC.

The point about a mic is that no matter what else you do to your audio after you've recorded it, you can't replace any audio information that you haven't captured in the first place.

So it pays to get a good mic from the start.

On this site I share the mic mistakes people make (yes, I've made them too!) so that you can avoid them.

You'll get access to an informative video where I share what type of mic to get, and which ones to avoid. I even show you where to get them, and what you can expect to pay. You may be pleasantly surpised by the price!
