Creating an audio product is actually easier than you may think.

0:04

I know you don't need to rent an expensive studio or have expensive equipment.

0:08

As today.

0:09

I show you how you can overlay a PLR that meet background audio with your

0:14

narrative text. This is not difficult. Keep watching.

0:17

And I'm going to show you how

0:24

Guys it's Richard Butler here. Director of [email protected].

0:28

And if you've watched any of our content marketing videos, you'll see,

0:32

I often talk about creating an audio from our products and then adding one of

0:37

our audio tracks. Now, if you've not seen any of our content marketing videos,

0:42

yet check out the link below. You're going to like them. Now,

0:46

before we get into this video, if this is your first time here, welcome,

0:50

it's great to see you.

0:51

And I'm so glad you're going to take a few minutes to watch this video with me,

0:56

make sure that you click that subscribe button and click that notification bell.

1:01

So that you're the first to know about our free training videos.

1:05

And you'll get notified when we upload them. Nope.

1:08

I've had a lot of questions from you guys asking, how can I do this?

1:12

What equipment do I need? Do I need a sound engineering degree? Um,

1:17

thick rimmed glasses to do this? No,

1:19

you don't need anything other than a free program called audacity and the belief

1:24

you can do this. That's probably the most important part in this video.

1:28

I'm going to take you through step-by-step on how to download the program,

1:33

how to install it, how to set it up.

1:35

How'd you find an affirmation reflection out to find an audio track,

1:39

how to record your voice.

1:40

I do have the background truck and how to export everything.

1:43

And the most important thing is how to congratulate yourself on an amazing job.

1:47

Well done. Let's talk about the two I will use. First audacity is a free yes,

1:52

no strings attached program that you can download for Mac or PC. In this video.

1:57

I will show you how I set it up on my Mac, but don't worry.

2:01

The process is similar on a PC. And of course,

2:03

you're going to need a affirmation reflection from plr.me resource library,

2:08

and of course an audio track. So first things first,

2:11

let's go to audacity team.org from here,

2:14

click on the download menu and select the operation system that you have. Now,

2:18

in my case,

2:19

I will select Mac select one of the options here and click to download.

2:23

Let's wait for this to download.

2:29

Okay.

2:29

Now that that's downloaded,

2:31

I'm just going to find where that was downloaded and I'm going to install it by

2:34

just double clicking on it. Okay.

2:37

Time to go over to the plr.me resource library,

2:40

and find an affirmation reflection.

2:42

The first thing I will do is type in the word mindful just up here in the

2:47

corner and from the dropdown, I'm going to select affirmation,

2:50

reflection and click on the search icon. Now here's one that I like.

2:55

So I'm going to click on it to download it. And now that that's done, it's time.

2:59

Find an audio this time. I was simply click on the down,

3:02

arrow up here and select audio and search.

3:06

I can always hear a sample by clicking on the play button.

3:09

This one peaceful river is just five minutes long and should work fine.

3:14

Now don't worry if it's too long as we can edit the length later. Okay,

3:18

now I have everything I need at the affirmation reflection. I have the audio,

3:22

obviously I need to zip it by just double clicking on it.

3:25

So I'm going to open up a Udacity and I'm going to record my voice

3:30

by clicking here on starting to talk.

3:32

So what I'll do is I'll simply read this audio and if I make a mistake,

3:36

there's no problems. Cause I'm going to show you how to edit.

3:38

[Inaudible].

3:45

So here we are and everything is recorded. Now, if the audio is too loud,

3:51

we can reduce the volume just over here.

3:53

Now what happens if you've made a mistake? Well, that's okay. We're all human.

3:56

Now what we're going to do is we're going to import the audio track.

4:00

As you can see, the background track is longer than, than our ration,

4:04

but we can fix that, but we'll we'll, we'll we'll we'll hold up.

4:07

The audio is way too loud. So let's reduce the sound of this.

4:11

So what you want to make sure is that you can hear the audio,

4:14

but it doesn't drown out your voice. Now,

4:16

what I need to do is just cut out some of the audio to make it shorter.

4:19

So what we're going to do is I'm going to select a piece of the audio and

4:23

deleted just like this and that's it. Okay. That's much better.

4:27

Now I can continue to go on and cut out bits of the audio until it becomes the

4:32

right size.

4:33

I would suggest that you cut from the start of the audio and the end of the

4:37

audio, rather than in the middle, just to make it as sound better.

4:41

But now what we want to do is make this a little bit more pro.

4:45

So let's fade the audio in and out at the start and at the finish.

4:50

So select a section of the beginning and then go to the effects menu and select

4:55

fading. Do the same at the band I come showing on screen.

5:00

Now, when you're happy,

5:01

all you need to do is go to file and export and select export to

5:06

MP3. That's it. Congratulations. You've done it.

5:10

Can you believe it? Yes, it was that easy. Seriously, nothing more to do.

5:16

Did you believe it will be more difficult?

5:18

Where do you see how your beliefs can limit you?

5:20

Because it's not that difficult at all and the more you do it,

5:22

the easier it gets. So now you have a new product,

5:26

which is an affirmation reflection, audio with a very pleasant background audio.

5:31

And what you could do is you could also use this as a hypnosis audio. Now,

5:35
