Preparing Your Own Audio

Recording and producing your own audio can require a significant investment in hardware, software, and time spent learning. If you need to put professional-quality audio on your site but aren’t likely to make the investment in time and equipment yourself, consider outsourcing the work to professionals.

The final product may be anything from a simple personal greeting to a live concert broadcast. The preparation of original audio requires a number of standard steps: recording , basic sound editing, and then optimization for web delivery.
