Creating audio for your site via your iPhone

If you have our CMS system creating a news item that includes audio is a very simple process.
Essentially all you do is create a voice recording on your iPhone built in memo App, send it to yourself, convert it to an MP3 then add it to your site via our Sound Manager pluggin.

Your iPhone records the audio in good quality using the m4a format which is part of the MPEG-4 format.
Although it is only recording in mono the quality is regarded highly and the interface is nice and simple.

Start by deciding what you want to say and after a few rehersals you should be ready.
If you are not happy with the sound delete it and start again.

Steps

1 From your iphone click Utilities/Voice Memos
2 Check your voice against the meter to ensure it does not go over into the red (distorts)
3 Click the red record button
4 Click the black stop button
5 Click the black pause button to hear your recording
6 Use the blue share button to send the recording to yourself
7 Convert the recording to mp3 format
8 Add to your site via our CMS

We often notice journalists using their iPhones to record interviews where previously they may have had a specific hand held recorder or far more professional equipment.
Previously to get a recording that was reasonable, that is better than a cheap computer microphone, we had to buy recording equipment - now many of us carry good quality recording equipment in our pockets.

Learning how to correct audio and cut together snippets is not difficult to learn and can add value to your audio and videos.
