Web Marketing To Beat The Competition

Archive for the ‘Audio and Video’ Category

As a business owner you should know that video is becoming more important to get your products and services noticed.

Now its not imperative but have a look at this video and the comments below to see how easy it is.

Don is using a Kodak ZI8 which I have mentioned before.

Yes, you can get this same look at home without a lot of expense!

The backdrop is a wall I painted a dark shade of red (not as dark as maroon), then daubed black paint in spots with a paint brush, and used a dry rag to rub most of the black away.

This is a faux painting process called scumbling. It gives the look of red leather.

The spotlight on the wall can be done with a small spotlight bulb in an inexpensive clip light. It doesn’t need much wattage – about 60watts should be max.

The reflector I show can be done with a piece of white cardboard from you neighborhood art supply store. You can simulate that big softbox light by using another piece of white cardboard and shining a spotlight onto it. Probably a 100 watt bulb.

The hair light near the ceiling can be another small spotlight bulb, or even a standard lightbulb with a cardboard tube to control the light. Don’t let the cardboard get too hot.

The best way is still by using WordPress and posting fresh content targeting your products and services so if you need help get in touch with us today and we will get your business noticed.

This is so far is a cracking piece of kit.

I’ve been using it for just over a month. Easy to install and with excellent sound quality.

Unlike some types of ‘free’ VOIP recording applications which can limit your recordings from 15-30 minutes, there is no time llimit what so ever on this application.

You also have a choice as to where store your recording (click the yellow folder next to the ‘settings’ making it easy to retrieve your recordings later) anywhere you like. If you find any bugs you can report it to developer as he welcomes comments and feedback.

Using MP3 Recorder.

The beauty of this recorder is that it records both conversations on a seperate channel if you do it in stereo so you can easily edit each voice.

Once you complete your recording use the free Audacity editing program to tidy up and add front and back music for seminars etc.

System requirements:

OS : Windows 2000, XP, Vista
.Net Framework 2.0 or later (will be downloaded from the Microsoft site and installed automatically )
Skype (you may have installed it already. Install it yourself otherwise – download Skype )

MP3 Skype Recorder is a free program which automatically records all your Skype conversations (including conferences). It stores your conversations locally in files using compact and very popular MP3 format.

The tool can record P2P Skype calls and SkypeOut calls as well as calls to Skype Online number. The program sits in the system tray and monitors skype calls.It starts recording automatically when you begin conversation.

It can record several calls simultaneously (one active with others on hold). When doing so the recorder stores every call in separate file for later use. Simple and intuitive interface requires almost no tuning. All you have to do is install the program and provide it with access to the Skype client.

Information contained in the conversation may be valuable for you in many ways for many reasons. Making and keeping the records may help your business and sometimes guard your reputation.

Main features of MP3 Skype Recorder:

• It’s absolutely free with no limits attached.
• Automatic or manual recording capabilities.
• Compact format of stored records (mp3 files).
• May be used to record P2P, SkypeOut calls and calls made to Online number .
• Capable to track simultaneous calls and to save them separately.
• Easy integration with Skype Conference recording.
• Intuitive easy to use interface.
• The program is distributed “AS IS” with no warranty, but it’s absolutely free to use.

Note: MP3 Skype Recorder uses a local port on your PC to get sound stream from Skype. That may get Windows Vista and few personal firewall products alert you with “low risk” warning.

To let the program record calls you should allow Skype Call Recorder access that local port. This won’t harm your system.

The program uses LAME MP3 encoder.

Anyway…I’m going to stop raving about this application.

Here’s the link to this bad boy!
