Tips to Create Audio & Video Recordings

To generate your own audio or video recordings here are a couple of tips for travel pros:

o Invest in a quality recorder. I love my Olympus .mp3 audio recorder for its

ease of use and small size. My Mino flip HD video camera is about the size of a deck of cards and is nearly 1-button simple.

o Find a platform to record your audio podcast

Audacity, Pod Bean and Podcast Alley are great for recording audio Convert the file to an .mp3 file. Consider using Switch Sound File
