Q: I notice a lot of people use Audio Acrobat to record their audio. Can you explain how to do this?

For those who don’t know, Audio Acrobat (http://audioacrobat.com) is an online audio recording software that allows you to record audio to be added to your site or sent to people. This is not a free service so you will need an account and pay your monthly fee in order to use the software.

Here are the basics to using the software:

1. Log in to your account

2. Choose the “Audio” Tab at top

3. Click the “Create New Audio” Link

4. Choose how you want to create your audio: Record By Phone or Audio Web Recorder

– To Record by Phone you click the “Record by Phone” button. That will give you a phone number to call and when prompted, you will enter the pin number followed by the # key.

You will be asked how many people will be recorded. If it’s is only you then choose 1 on your telephone.

You’ll then be asked to start your recording and to press any key once complete.
