How to Create Professional Audio Books from Scratch







icoPosted by: admin  :  Category: Audio Conferencing Articles

My name is Alan Twigg and I'm writing this article is to give advice to anyone thinking of creating your own professional audio books.

In the new year I got the idea of creating professional children's stories and offers them for download on the Internet. The fact is that when I write the stories were – my mother – and someone on the market the stories – I do not know anyone who knew how to professionally record the stories. I knew it must berelatively easy, because I only wanted to create an audio book for a speech.

I started doing research on Google – but all the articles I found contained so much technical confused – I was quickly discouraged. So I went to my local music store for advice on what to buy. I decided to make my computer to use audio books, and this is what I bought:

1 microphone stand

1 pop-screen (and a piece of material that sits just before the microphoneStop the "PS" from popping)

1 studio microphone

1 software (WaveLab)

1 USB Audio / MIDI (TASCAM U.S. 122 with phantom power)

1 pair heaphones

All came to € 650 (800) dollars.

I connected my Audio Interface / MIDI (this is actually a very good sound card in an external case) to the computer via the USB cable. So I created my microphone and attached the microphone cable to the MIDI interface. Tosoftware installed, I was ready to go.

The results were great, and I think that software WaveLab powerful and easy to use.

Some Audio Book recording tips

I first get my entire copy ready before the recording. I pin the sheets of paper with the text that I read before going to the wall. Then, about 8 cm away from the microphone, I start to speak. The more clearly you can not find it interesting that you play for youlisteners. I discovered that the best thing to do is to stand before the microphone and gestures in the same way as you would when they get a good friend. If you stand there stiff as a statue, meet in the same way in your recording.

Another thing I do before the start of the study is to myself in a good mood. Again, this will increase the impact of the recording. I always listen to some uplifting songs and get enthusiastic before starting.You should also try to ensure that it maintains the same distance from the microphone.

And it is – I hope this article will save you time to create your own recording studio at home, and I wish you good luck with your audio books.
