About three and a half years ago, I started an internet radio station devoted to needlework and quilting. At the time it wasn't just cutting edge, it was BLEEDING EDGE!

I was recording interviews during phone calls. The technology was pretty crude (and I might add, expensive!) and editing each phone call to get a reasonably good sounding version took me EIGHT hours!

Needless to say, I put the concept on hold!

Still, I thought that the concept was a good one, especially as more people got better and faster access online. After all, the Internet has turned out to be a personality driven communication medium and hearing someone's voice gives an instant and PERSONAL connection!

I watched as more and more software and equipment was created, but much of it was still pretty complicated, with a steep learning curve, or expensive, or time intensive, or all four!

Until now...

Impact Web Audio was recently introduced and I bought a copy immediately. It made a number of claims that, if they were true, would solve a whole slew of problems associated with putting a voice message on a web page.

  You can record a message instantly and easily

  The software is automated so that you can add intro and outro music and have background music behind the message, with just a few mouse clicks

  It comes with a nice selection of control buttons in any number of colors

  It is easy to add to a web page (I am still trying to figure out how to add it to my blogs, but I expect to have an answer soon!)

  If you are at the mercy of your web master, you can create message and all of its files quickly and easily. You then just give the file folder to your web master, who can get it installed in just a few minutes!

OK, these are pretty strong claims...

Then came the clincher...

  It is set up so that the audio message *streams* as it plays... in simple English, this means that it will play quickly, even for people with slow internet connections!

WOW! Obviously this must be too good to be true!

 Hmmmm.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I was hooked. I bought it and started testing. I was pretty sure that there was no way it could live up to the hype, but maybe it would be *good enough*.

I started testing it and yep, it is pretty dang good! It did in fact fulfill all of its promises. limitations.

It was only as I dug deeper that I could see the short-comings.

  Limitation:
You can't edit the recording you make with this software. In other words, you have to keep recording your voice message until you get it right.

  Solution:
This is actually NOT a big deal, if you reserve this program for doing short (no more then 5 minutes) messages.
If you upgrade to the Pro version for an additional $25, you can use any recording you like. This means that you can download Audacity Editing Software for free, and record and edit longer messages or interviews.

  Limitation:
There are only 12 music loops to choose from.

  Solution:
Depending on your taste, I expect that most everyone would be able to find one music loop that they could comfortably use.
If you upgrade to the Pro version for an additional $25, you can use any Music loop you want. I found a great one online for $4.99 at Opuzz.com

So, what do I think, several weeks and many recording later?

For quickly and efficiently adding brief voice professionally sounding messages to a web site, this software is the way to go.

If, like me, you are driven to make yours more unique and a bit more flexible, upgrading to the Pro version for $25 is still an AWESOME deal!

Is this a worthwhile investment in resources (time, dollars, and effort) for someone in a personality driven medium? You betcha!

I received an email recently from a stranger that started out:

*quote*
Hi, Tink.
I just listened to one of your voice messages on your site, so I feel like I know you, already.
*end quote*

I got CHILLS up my spine! Is this not an INCREDIBLY effective way to market yourself?

As I mentioned earlier, if you upgrade to the Pro version of Impact Web Audio, you can use any audio file you wish. This opens the door to using edited files.

As I also mentioned, there is an EXCELLENT and FREE audio editing software called Audacity. Louis Allport has created a superb Video Course on using Audacity, which I am offering here as a BONUS.

This combination of Impact Web Audio and Instant Audio Mastery provides an effective and efficient way to get yourself up to speed creating Audio content for your site and taking advantage of this dynamic marketing tool.

I'll show you exactly how you can create professional, streaming web-audio players with just a few clicks of your mouse ... even if you don't know a single line of HTML code, and have never recorded a single audio file in your life!

Re: Web Audio That Makes An Impact!

Dear Web Site Owner,

What if I could show you a way to grab your visitors by the ears, virtually forcing them to not only hear your important marketing messages, but actually listen to them? And, what if I could show you how to do all that, with just a few clicks of the mouse?

It's no secret that using streaming audio on your website can be effective, but if you weren't blessed with a voice for radio, your plain-jane tone could be killing your sales.

What you need is a way to start using the same time-tested "tricks" that professional broadcasters and sound engineers have been using for years to take their clients "normal" audio, and turn it into gold.

So how do they do it? Simple, they add a background loop behind the voice track that masks all the imperfections, and makes them virtually disappear. That one simple, yet amazingly effective "trick" can dramatically improve the rhythm of your marketing message, and bring your "ho-hum" audio to life.

Now look, this method of improving voice-based audio tracks has been used by the professionals for well over 50 years, but up until now, it was nearly impossible for the average person to do. Until just recently, adding a background loop to your voice-based audio required specialized audio editing software, a wealth of technical knowledge, and even then, could easily cost you hours of your valuable time.

With all those obstacles to overcome, is it any wonder that so few marketers were using this deadly effective technique?

This easy-to-use application was designed by marketers, for marketers, making  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition the perfect solution for all your online marketing needs.  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition is obviously a superior solution. It is the only point-and-click program, designed specifically for marketers, that puts the power of a professional audio engineer to work for you.

Still not convinced? Just take a look at this amazing list of features. After you see everything  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition can do, I think you'll agree that it's clearly the best choice :

• All In One Solution - Record your audio, add a background loop, and create your Flash based audio player using this all inclusive program. No expensive, and confusing external software needed!

  (TINK TRICK - If you want, I'll be happy to show you how to do it using FREE internet tools... just mention it in the YarnAndThreadRetailers.com Forum!)

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Two

Step two allows you to choose one of the 10 12 pre-loaded background loops that will be used to enhance your voice-based audio track. Each of the background audio loops was created specifically for online marketing by one of the Internet's most respected audio marketing experts, Mike Stewart.

Once you've selected your loop, you set the volumes, the fade-up and fade-out options and let  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition handle the heavy lifting.

Everything is done with just a few clicks of the mouse! Select your loop, set your options, and all the heavy lifting is done for you.

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Three

After you've selected your background loop, it's time for you to choose your audio player style, and customize it. Customizing the player couldn't be easier, just a few simple clicks, and in seconds you'll have a player that will look great anywhere on your website.

If you'd like, you can adjust the size of any of the audio players. And, you can even choose whether you'd like a 3 button player, or just a single button.

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Four

In step four, it's time to decide whether your audio is going to start playing the instant a visitor hits your website, or if you'd like your visitors to press play to start the file.

TINK TRICK - Be sure and set this so that your visitors have control over whether or not it plays. Remember that many folks surf on the job... we sure don't want to get them in trouble! LOL

Step four is also where you can take advantage of  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition's exclusive "Audio Jump" technology. If you'd like to send anyone who listens to your audio to a specific web page, after the audio has finished playing, all you have to do is check one box, and enter the web page URL.

TINK TRICK - Put a message on your web site's HOME page about what's NEW and then set this option to send them to that page... what a GREAT marketing trick!

As a built-in safety measure,  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition lets you preview your "Audio Jump" URL so that you can be absolutely sure you're sending your visitors to the right place, before it's too late!

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Five

Now that you've set all your options,  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition goes to work creating your audio player, and even shows you a working preview.

In this step,  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition automatically converts your audio files, creates your fade effects, and generates a streaming audio player based completely on your needs.

This step takes all the guesswork out of the equation. If you're not happy with your  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition player, or decide that you'd like to make a slight adjustment, just click the back button and make your changes without losing your work.

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Six

Next up is saving your  IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition player, and the newly created audio files to your computer. To save your player, simple create a Project name, browse your hard drive for the just the right spot, and click save.

Saving each audio player with a new "Project" name allows you to place multiple audio players on the same page, without having to worry about conflicts. You can also use these "Project" names to help you keep things organized.

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition allows you to save your audio player to multiple locations, with different project names, just in case you'd like to use your audio player on more than one website.

 IMPACT WEB AUDIO - Basic Edition - Step Seven
