Strategies to Rapidly Create Audio Products in No Time. Although there are more extensive, complicated and expensive techniques available online to create audio products, the emphasis here is on rapid creation of audio products with for practically free. Making an audio product is also very easy today with free audio editors. You can create audio product that works on all formats like iPods, Podcasts or audio CDs. Follow these steps and create your audio product practically for free.

1. Get a Microphone: The First Thing You Need is A Microscope. You may already have one already, but if not you can Get a Microphone or Phone Headset for as low as $15. One of these days almost all computers have a sound card already installed, all you have to do is to get a microphone or headset. Connect your microphone with your computer by plugging it into the soundcard, and you are done with this step.  

2. Get Some Free Audio Editor Software: O.K. lets start with Podcasts first. You can use Podcast to promote, tease, and place on your Blog. Back in old days hefty equipment was needed that could still only produce bad quality audios. These days with present technology i.e. both hardware and software things have skyrocketed. There are two pieces of software that you can use for Podcasts. Go download and install these.

   a)   Audacity: Audacity is a free sound editing application. It is very easy-to-use absolutely free audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. You can use Audacity to:

    

   1)   Record live audio with this free audio editor.

   2)   Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.

   3)   iEdit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV or AIFF sound files.

   4)   Cut, copy, splice or mix sounds together.

   5)   Change the speed or pitch of a recording.

    

   And more! See the complete list of features.

   Go to: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Select download, open, and it will install it.  On that same page, you will notice an optional download selection you need this next.

    

   b)  LAME MP3.DLL: - Well the next thing you need is an encoder so that you could save your audios to an MP3 file. This is an essential step, as the MP3 file is takes least space while still sustaining high quality audios. MP3 is used as a universal listening format. When you get to the website http://lame.buanzo.com.ar, select the File for your operating system, Download and Install. Since it comes in zip format you must double click on it to extract it. Remember where you put the lame mp3.dll file; because you will need it the first time you try to export to MP3.

   c)   In addition to free audio editors, you may also check out options that cost, yet are simpler at InternetAudioGuy.

3. Start Recoding Your Audio: Since it is beyond the scope of this page to explain all of the features here, you should consult help to learn all the features. But once you have installed and loaded your free audio editor like Audacity, just click the round, red record button to start recording into your microphone. Press the Stop button when you are done with recording (the square box.) This is where you need LAME to save your recording as MP3 file format. To save in MP3 file format, click File> Export as MP3. When you are using it for the first time, you need to locate the LAME file. The program will let you know when it needs one. Refer back to where the file was, and connect it. In future, you would not need to repeat this step.

4. Creating Your Podcast File: If you want to record marketing messages, or provide a teaser you can take your MP3 one step further. You can have your website set up to play an MP3, but for making a podcast is what is called an RSS file (RSS = Really Simple Syndication.) You need to Go to http://www.odeo.com and join by signing up odeo. Next you got to go to http://studio.odeo.com/create. This enables you to create your podcast using their website, or load it if you already have one. When you build your odeo podcast, you will be given an RSS URL which you can link to from anywhere.

5. Promoting Your Podcast: Although this subject is beyond the scope of creating your audios rapidly but this is important when you use your Podcasts as marketing too.

You can Presell and later Sell with your own personal voice, by teaching them and later providing them your website link in little chunks of infomercials. You can access podcast directories now by submitting to them all one at a time. If you used odeo, you can also include your podcast in their directory and make sure to also submit to podcast.net and the iTunes podcast directory.
