Whether you are producing video for a network or for a small scale audio production, a teleprompter is one of the most crucial additions to your studio.

I started looking for teleprompter software last year as I do a lot of audio production however when I started looking I could not find much under a couple of hundred dollars.

You have probably found the same thing! I was not looking for Studio software just a simple program that would let me do my recordings, help with narrating video productions and all able to run on my pc.

This is not software to be used with mirror hardware but a personal teleprompter for the windows PC. It is not full screen but a personal recording teleprompterfor recording and reading. Click on image to see the size it will be on your computer.

How to create your audio files using Audacity!

This tutorial will help you produce all types of sound files. The first thing you will need is a recording program. Audacity is cross-platform - it runs on Windows (98 through XP), Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and many Unix platforms, including Linux.

Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings.

It also has a built-in amplitude envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency analysis window for audio analysis applications. Built-in effects include Bass Boost, Wahwah, and Noise Removal, and it also supports VST plug-in effects.

• Audacity is free and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License.
• No limits on the number of tracks or the length of any track, except the size of your hard disk.
• Import almost anything: WAV, AIFF, Next/AU, IRCAM, MP3, and MIDI files are supported natively, but Audacity will also open just about any uncompressed sound file and automatically deduce the format (using the Import Raw Data… feature).
• Audacity not only includes many high-quality effects built-in, but also lets you use plug-in effects in the industry-standard VST format. There are dozens of free, shareware, and commercial VST plug-ins online that do everything from Reverb to Noise Reduction.
• Audacity acts like a non-destructive editor , providing multiple levels of undo, but it also writes changes made to the audio to disk, eliminating the need for complicated real-time processing.
• Label tracks allow you to annotate waveforms (for example, transcribing speech) and later export the waveforms to a text file.
• Powerful spectral features allow you to view waveforms as spectrograms or plot the power spectrum of any region of audio, and even export this data to a spreadsheet.

Streaming audio is a method of delivering audio, in real-time over the Internet or corporate Intranets, with no download wait and no file to take up space on your hard disk. Effectively what happens is as soon as you request a streaming audio file - usually by clicking on a button - the first 2 or 3 seconds of the file is downloaded to your computer.

This immediately starts to play and as it does, the server continues to download the rest of the file. By the time the first few seconds of sound have been played, the next few seconds are ready, hence creating a continuous “stream”.

Many of the programs available today that allow you to stream the audio require that you compile the audio file in the correct format first. This can be a very time consuming task as you need to balance the quality to size ration to allow streaming over modem connections. The software we will be using will do all this automatically for you.

To listen to audio, you need a sound card and speakers or headphones for your computer. After a somewhat slow start, Web sites that are capable of delivering relatively low-bandwidth audio content are appearing with greater frequency, most likely in response to the increasing number of multimedia-capable PCs hooking into the Internet.

Think of a bucket (the buffer) with a hole in the bottom, being topped up with water (the data). As long as there is water in the bucket, it will continue to pour out of the hole, and will do this as long as there is water in the bucket. Similarly, as long as there is data in the buffer, you will continue to hear sound.

MP3 Sound Stream 1.27 (mp3ss) is a software package that creates high quality 56K streaming audio from MP3 or WAV files. It uses industry standard LAME compression to produce very high quality output. The program uses flash 4 technology, which is estimated to be on 98% of computers. It will reduce a standard MP3 file by over 50% with almost no loss of quality.

The Online Population - Streamies, those users who watch or listen to streaming online, represent 44% of all Internet users and 27% of Americans overall. By far, streamies are the most valuable consumer group on the Internet. Streaming media consumers are far more interactive, are more oriented to e-commerce and spend more time online compared with Internet users who don’t stream.”

Credibility - Anyone can add some text and graphics however the use of audio takes a little more effort and so it is seen as higher value and greater credability. In a recent streaming audio survey it was found that most people associated streaming audio and video with respected corporate sites.

Auditory - Statistics show that 30% of surfers are auditory and so if you do not have audio then you are loosing out on a lot of traffic.

Stickability - Our customers have proven that audio has dramatically increased the time people spend on their site. Many people are now able to get traffic to their websites using Pay Per Click advertising however the next main consideration is keeping them there so you get more from your advertising dollar.

Current Marketplace - is awash with TV and radio programs so people are already used to the concept and are expecting it on websites. With the average computer being multimedia enabled they almost feel dejected if they can not utilize all the functions.

The Wow Factor - At present only around 10% of sites utilise any form of streaming media so it creates a wow factor and delivers a lot more word of mouth traffic than any other form of web page functions.
