Simple Audio Secrets - How To Make Your Audio Sound Like Gold
It was only few years ago that I purchased my first audio info-product. It was written and produced by a well-known internet marketer … an expert in his field … and if I said his name, chances are you would likely know exactly who I’m talking about.
I was really excited to get my new package … and of course couldn’t WAIT to hear it. After all, I was an audio learner, and was chompin’ at the bit to finish the download and start the audio.
But as I clicked the play button I was SHOCKED! It sounded like a bubbling fish tank!
So being the audio expert that I am, I did a little up-sampling, boosting, and noise reduction to make it tolerable and then burned a CD for my car stereo.
But even after all that work … I STILL had to STRAIN to hear the speaker … because it was a measly 16-bit file!
He was Serious???
I paid $97 for that NONSENSE?
So the guy paid about 10 cents in bandwidth … and didn’t my $97 justify a quality-sounding audio?
Am I completely out to lunch?
I come from an era where I pay 15 to 25 bucks for a high quality CD. Or I go to a bookstore and purchase a professionally edited book
Why is it that literally EVERY TIME I bought an audio e-book it was more of the same bubbling fish tank?
In frustration of the poor audio, I bought a $297 CD series last fall. No downloading … these were actual CD’s in a pretty box. I really hoped that this time my ears would not be let down.
It was a recording of a well known marketer (let’s call him Mr. X), and he was interviewing another expert. We’ll call him Mr. Y.
Oh those CD’s looked beautiful. Bright colors. Cool graphics. And I almost drooled as I put the CD in my car stereo.
But I heard NOTHING.
I popped the CD out … and then back in … still nothing.
I then cranked the volume … and there it was! Mr. X was interviewing Mr. Y faintly in the background. Through a series of four CD’s. I strained to listen. And once again I was frustrated.
WHY do so many internet audio products sound terrible?
This is stupid … and it just plain sucks. But creating quality audio isn’t hard when you know the RIGHT way to do it. And it doesn’t have to cost an arm OR a leg to get the right gear!
Fast forward to today … if you’re producing audio e-books, they really DON’T have to sound like this. Good software is inexpensive … and so is the hardware.
The processes, techniques, and ways to avoid the blunders are now all revealed to YOU.

QUICK TIP for audio producers … when recording an audio interview never use an internet recording service. You’ll ALWAYS get a superior quality recording if you record the audio right at the source.
