In order to be successful in putting streaming audio on your website you will need information. In this day and age there is more information available than ever before. Spending time surfing the Internet for audio and recording resources is time very wisely spent. Included below are some of the most valuable resources available as of this writing on recording on your computer and adding streaming audio to your website.

http://www.audioforums.com: I love this forum; there are lots of people here that are more than willing to help you out. I have always got good useful answers to my questions here.

http://www.homerecording.com: This website has many resources to help you along in your home recording adventures. Spend some time looking around this site.

http://www.harmony-central.com: This website is a haven for musicians and the recording enthusiast. There are reviews on most any sort of music or recording related equipment. I very seldom purchase any sort of gear without checking to see if anyone has posted a user review on the product. Lots of good stuff everywhere you turn on this website.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com: This is a store that specializes in mail order and Internet sales. Their prices are very reasonable and their service is first rate. I have never had a bad experience dealing with Musicians Friends.

http://www.cdbaby.com: If you are a musician with a Cd to sell you need to check out CD Baby. This is one of the largest seller’s of Independent music. The cost to put your Cd on this site to sell is almost too cheap to be believed. They do all the order handling and shipping for a small percentage of each sale plus a one time set up fee.

http://mp3postcards.com: This is a site that lets you upload your audio onto a digital postcard. They host the card for you and it is really easy to get your audio up and running. Dylan the guy that runs this site treated me very well with my dealings with him. The marketing information Dylan provides is really good stuff.

http://www.create-streaming-audio.com: Create Streaming Audio is my website. Back in 1999 when I first started trying to put streaming audio on my website little information existed. Create Streaming Audio was made to help people out who are just getting started. This site provides information on adding streaming audio onto your website.

Audio is hard on your computer taxing its resources. Although this is not as big a problem as it was when we were recording on a Pentium 400 it still makes sense to practice good habits when it comes to your computer hard drive. Here are some tips to speed your audio up.

Separate Audio Hard Drive: If you can afford it a drive reserved just for audio will make things much easier on you. Only audio files are to be stored on this second drive.

Keep Your Drives Clean: Keep the junk off of your hard drive. Any excess programs will slow your system resources that could be used for things like plug ins and more tracks. Check your task bar and see what programs are running in the background such as your anti-virus or messenger service.

Minimize: Turn off as many things as you can although make sure you are not connected to the Internet when disabling your anti-virus.

Back Up: Always back your computer up on a regular basis. Make this a habit like clockwork or else your hard drive will crash at the worst time possible. Don’t ask me how I know this.

Defrag: Defragging your computer once a week will speed everything up. Your files tend to get jumbled up when stored on your hard drive and defragging tends to sort things out for you.

Format: I like to format my hard drives a least once a year although I probably do so a couple times a year. Things slow down as time goes by and formatting is on e of the best speed recovers I have found. A new clean drive always seems to speed up a lot.

Number Of Plugins: Plugins are one of the most taxing things you can do to your computer. When you are recording always use as few as possible turning off anything that is not vital. Add them back in during playback if you need them.

Number Of Tracks: Likewise watch the number of tracks you are using. The more tracks you use the harder your computer has to work. Only use as many as you have to have. You probably do not need 17 back up harmony parts.

Recording your own audio on your personal computer is one of the most rewarding things I have ever used my personal computer for. It is an exciting time when for a few hundred dollars you can rival the sound of the major studios of old. If you follow these tips and use your head you will be recording audio better than ever before.

In order to record anything on your software recording program you need to make sure everything is set up right. This can make a big difference in the quality of your finished product. Your recording project can go very smooth or may be a real pain depending on how you set your options up.

Most of the major software recording programs works about the same. The look and feel may be slightly different but once you find the location of whatever you are looking for it will be very similar no matter which program you choose to use.

Today we will look at some of the things you need to consider before you hit the record button. Whenever you set up a new song I like to go over my options and set things up the right way.

Save as: This is absolutely the first thing you should do when recording a new audio file. I can’t tell you how many times I have nearly rewrote a previous saved file that would be a disaster if lost. All of this can be avoided if you get in the habit of saving your file with the proper name first.

Where to save: Be sure and save your file in the folder you want to keep it in. It is very easy to lose your audio if you are not careful with this step. Also it is a good practice to save an edited and unedited version of your audio.

Type of file: What file type you save your audio in depends on your plans for the audio. If it is going on a Cd you should save as a wav file. For most other uses you can get by saving in the mp3 format. I always save my audio as an uncompressed wav file first then I may convert to mp3 if the situation calls for it.

Sample rate: You should save your audio at least at 44.1 kHz. This is standard CD quality, which is important if your final product will wind up on an audio CD.

Bit rate: If you have a choice between 16 bit and 24 bit choose 24.

In and out settings: make sure you’re in and out routing is going to the right buss in your recording software. You don’t want to record a great audio file only to have it recording over your previous file.

Getting your options set up right will save you untold time and trouble. Take the time before you star recording to put your recording on solid ground.

Most industries today have become so dynamic that organisations have to consistently seek and adapt to change, in order to survive and prosper. Factors like more diversified customer preferences, technological advances, increased competitive threats and an intensified global economy are among the forces inducing change. Organisations need to become more adaptable embracing Charles Darwin’s view that “it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one that is the most adaptable to change”.

A survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers in March 2004 shows that 47% of the CEO’s of the US’s fastest growing companies believe that their most critical success factor is having flexible strategies to respond to accelerating business changes. However, many recently implemented Information Systems still tend to ignore this need for flexibility and at times are hard to scale and customise, thereby limiting the ability of an enterprise to react fast to its evolving business needs.

In the last two decades we constantly experienced a dramatic change in the way we store and process digital information. Every few years there has been an industry breakpoint; an important new computing concept that changed radically the way computers are used and Information Systems are implemented. Examples include graphical and more user-friendly interfaces, the clientserver concept and the Internet. Such factors have somehow aided and contributed to position computers as a necessary commodity. Additionally, with the constant drop in the cost of hardware, and better and cheaper network bandwidth, computers have become even more ubiquitous. The Internet has evolved tremendously and is today considered as probably the most effective communication medium. Whilst technology tends to evolve in a non-linear fashion, Moore’s Law has ensured that processing power has been increasing exponentially.

Though this is contributing to easier hoarding and dissemination of information, ICT professionals today still face tough challenges. ICT budgets grew rapidly in the late 90’s in anticipation of the Y2K problem. In these last years many ICT departments have been even asked to cut their budgets while they were expected to continue providing an appropriate information infrastructure so as to enable the organisations to augment their products and possibly gain a competitive edge. Hardware replacement cycles are perceived to have increased. Generally speaking, ICT budgets did not grow in these last years in line with the computational needs of the organisations; whilst workloads are still increasing, the capacities to handle them are not.

In some cases increasing a firm’s computational needs might end up in a lot of computational power which is not appropriately utilised. Why? Consider for example the utilization of a server machine. Most of the time its real processing capacity is not used at all. However maybe sometimes because a large and long process is executed or the number of connected users temporarily increase, the server might endup experiencing a processing overload. It has been estimated that on average a desktop computer uses only about 5% to 8% of its processing power (EuropeanCeo, 2005). Whilst, as Hendry (2004) reports, load balancing can aid in the distribution of processing and communication activity, similar servers that experience spikes in processor usage are barely used for the rest of the day and eventually end up with a large amount of unused computing capacity.

So the inevitable questions are, is it really feasible to increase and upgrade the firm’s single source of computational power if most of the time the existing processing power is not being used? How can we ensure that a firm’s computational resources are well balanced and allocated, so as to minimise wastage and eventually, justify any further investment in the ICT infrastructure?

The basic concept that gives insight to the answer to these questions extends back to the 70’s when the notion of distributed computing was born. Today, we are seeing increasing interest among business communities in what is termed as, Grid Computing.

Definition
World-renowned organisations are promoting the Grid in a big way and several definitions can be found. It has become a fashionable term. Dr. Ian Foster, a professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Distributed Systems Lab at Argonne National Laboratory, a pioneer in Grid Computing, provided his definition for the layman as being the “technology to enable the sharing of computing resources across institutional boundaries”. Research firm, Gartner, Inc., defines grid computing as a way to solve computing tasks using resources that are shared by more than one owner and coordinated to solve more than one problem.

The concept of Grid Computing was initially popular among academics, research and scientific communities. It was used for functions that required a substantial amount of computing power. However in these last years, an increasing number of organisations are early adopting and trying to reap benefits from this technology.

There are numerous examples where Grid computing has been applied. Among the research communities, Oxford University is using Grid technology to analyse 3.5 billion molecules to work out their cancer fighting potential. Same is being done by Stanford University in order to analyse the role protein plays in keeping people healthy. The search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project is another example. Here, volunteers download and install a free program so as to process and analyse massive amounts of data in search of evidence of possible radio transmissions from extraterrestrial life. When tallying up all the processing power that these PC’s provide, it’s like having one big supercomputer. Grid technologies also played a major role in identifying the world’s largest known prime number. This was part of the Marsenne project where scientists identified the 43rd Marsenne Prime 230,402,457-1. - a figure that contains 9,152,052 digits.

Business Applicability
Within business communities, the Grid concept is far more popular among large corporations. Baum, the publishing editor for Oracle Corporation, states that these corporations are initially attracted by the amount of savings that the technology can provide. Mainstay Partners conducted an ROI study to evaluate the enterprise grid technology platforms currently in use at seven participating companies. It was concluded that the adaptation of grid technology yielded an average of 43 percent savings in hardware cost. Much of the savings were credited to the shift from a large symmetric multiprocessor server to a number of lower cost servers. With the use of Grid technology the latter setup delivered similar or at times even more computational power than the larger system, however with fewer costs. Baum’s report adds that the grids within these companies were being used for a variety of applications, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), decision support, customer relationship management (CRM), and supply chain management (SCM).

Still, companies that operate in the financial services industry, drug discoveries and weather modeling are initially more prone to benefit from Grid technologies, as they are involved in complex scientific and mathematical calculations and therefore require an added amount of computational power. So are companies that tend to process large amounts of data for their business intelligence activities. However, organisations are increasingly being enticed to adopt Grid technologies even for their transactional based systems, given that Grids may further facilitate storage space Issues.

Challenges faced by Grid Computing
IDC, the market intelligence and advisory services firm, are referring to Grid computing as the fifth generation of computing, after client-server and multi-tier (Table 1).

Yet, according to IDC, the technology still needs to be ‘normalised’ and has to overcome various challenges. IDC believes that these concerns, in some cases, are more perception than reality, and as organisations gain more experience with this distributed approach, their concerns will be laid to rest.

Additionally, a research conducted by the 451 Group shows that software licensing, security and bandwidth matters are among the things that can disturb grid rollouts.

Conclusion
Whilst Grid computing still needs to find broad acceptance in the commercial space, yet, market analysts state that the technology is here to stay. As Tom Hawk, the general manager of Grid computing for IBM says, “The Web is about sharing information. The grid is about sharing resources”.

Outsourcing has caught the imagination of many companies mainly on account of rising cost of production, ever increasing labor cost, taxes and other expenses. As the Asian Tigers ( the booming economies) are standing up to be recognized as successes, the European and US companies have started outsourcing their jobs and processes to these nations, essentially to cut costs.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world in many industries and it is imperative that companies outsource their labor and time intensive jobs to outside providers so that they can focus on their core functions. Such companies can pursue expansion through takeovers, mergers and drive their marketing efforts better when their routine tasks are handled through outsourcing.

Finding the right outsourcing partner is key to the success of any business. A successful outsourcing company should have well-qualified staff with adequate experience in delivering results for overseas projects. They should be able to work with little supervision and of course always deliver on time, while optimizing the costs.

Reliability is the prime qualification of any outsourcing provider. They should strike a balance between quality service and price. Any undue increase in pricing will impact the client organization adversely. The outsourcing provider should be able to maintain their price levels for a significant duration, which will give the advantage to their clients. This will be the single most important factor in the success of any company providing outsourcing services and effectively kill their competition in its infancy!

“A dollar saved is a dollar earned”, this dictum is very valid for outsourcing providers, because it enables them to cut their costs. Such reduction in costs means additional profits. Any company looking for outsourcing providers must check the latter’s history for such achievements in cost reduction and other efforts at maximizing profits.

Achievement of the following points can make an outsourcing company a proven competition killer.

a. A suitable infrastructure
b. Well qualified work force with experience tailored to the job.
c. Quality certifications like ISO 9000
d. Track record of keeping trade secrets
e. And finally an established track record of success stories.

When an outsourcing provider achieves the above points it is sure to retain its pole position in the fiercely competitive Grandprix of outsourcing track. This is simply the best way an outsourcing company can get ahead of the pack in the highly competitive job outsourcing industry. When it comes to job outsourcing, strategy can be the difference between success and failure.

Literal meaning of the word Outsourcing is: to Obtain goods or services from an outside supplier; to contract work out. This envisages delegation of jobs or specific important operations of a business to an outside agency that specializes in that activity.

Such outsourcing gives two benefits, financial as well as the improvement in quality because the third party is an expert in the subject.

However, the day-to-day management of the outsourced process rests with the third party. This is the essential difference between the traditional purchase of services or goods from an outside agency. Outsourcing is common practice in sectors like IT, Human Resources, real estate and accountancy.
From the beginning of the 1990s, small, high tech companies found the need for outsourcing as they did not have the financial or manpower resources to run in-house HR or customer service functions. In addition, these functions are highly technical and need specific skills. Hence the story of outsourcing started with these high tech companies.

The outsourcing industry does face criticism especially because of some instances where call centre staff could not explain to their customers that they were not on the rolls of the original company. They were sometimes not trained properly or had the technical knowledge to answer customer queries.

The new outsourcing area is data analysis services. Proliferation of internet and the widespread use of computers resulted in demand for data management. The extraction of specific information from the plethora of data available is a highly skilled task. Fortunately, this can be easily outsourced.

Sometimes outsourcing is used along with the term off-shoring. The basic difference being that off-shoring involves getting the job done by an agency that is based in another country. Off-shoring gives the advantage of cost reduction due to lower labor costs in the overseas country and thus increases the profitability of the company that is hiring the outsourcing services.

Off-shoring has its own set of detractors and is condemned by some as it is perceived as denying job opportunities to the local workers. At the same time it is seen to cause shortages of skilled workers in the host country. There is a lot of debate on both sides of the Outsourcing discussion as to who wins and what is the best approach. There is no right answer but from an pure global economics standpoint, outsourcing provides natural market mechanisms to the labor pool and in the long run outsourcings jobs should provide the most efficient pricing for the labor markets.

How many of us have had a well-built web site with everything working correctly, including links, search engine optimisation and Pay Per Click ads, only to find that you don’t sell much, if anything at all?

If you have your own website with good quality, original, content on a niche subject that you enjoy writing about, there is one sure-fire way to get hot, wallet in hand, customers to rush to your home page.

All you need to do is keep doing what you’re doing, that is writing about your chosen niche subject, but only submit your articles to any or all of the hundreds of article sites on the Internet.

Just a one page summary about your subject with your website and email details at the foot of that page can make all the difference.

Include these details in your ‘resource box’ where you give a paragraph about yourself and leave the rest to the article site.

As an example, visit www.articlecity.com and click on ‘Search’. Type in either a word or phrase that you are interested in, say, ‘Business’. You will be taken to a list of all the articles posted on that site that mention Business in the title or, if you select it, in the main body of the article.

Another excellent site is www.articlemarketer.com which can submit your article to around 50,000 places.

Any of these articles can be used on anybody’s site or publication provided they include your Resource Box. Remember this is where you placed a link to your website. Therefore, when your article is read, it will most probably be read by somebody who is already interested in your niche subject. They will then click on your link to be taken to your home page or sales page. This brings people to your website who are already qualified, as they wouldn’t follow this link if they weren’t interested in the subject.

To ensure that they will WANT to click on your link, give them something special as a ‘reward’ or ‘gift’ for visiting your site. This can be a free eBook or some other useful information all about the subject.

Once at your site, you can capture their name and email address to add to your list by offering a free newsletter or ‘tip of the day’ email which will enable you to also tell them about any other offers or purchases that they can make.

Without building a list of people to send your products or services to, you have an uphill struggle to make any sales at all.

Once your article is in place, post more articles about other areas of your business. This will start working after a few weeks and never stop - your article will never be removed and will also be on so many web sites or featured in so many newsletters and publications that you won’t believe where all your customers are coming from - all over the world.

Give your articles a powerful headline to attract attention. Make the first paragraph interesting reading while you introduce what you’re going to say.

In the main body of the article, tell the reader all about what you have just introduced and, in the final part, summarise what you’ve just said - and that’s it.

Fill in your resource box at the foot of the page, something like, Bill Smith has been writing about this subject for over 20 years and has sold over 10,000 eBooks. Find out more and get a free book on ‘How To ..,’ at www.yourdomain.com or email: billsmith@domain.com

This will be enough to coax readers to click on your link to your website. Have a name and email address box on your home page to offer something special when they submit their details.

That’s it, you have another name on your opt-in list.

Having this list is the most important thing you can have on the Internet when you’re selling things.

Without the list, you’ll find it very difficult to sell your items, whatever they are. The business IS the list.

Let me give you a quick example. Supposing I have an eBook all about the latest widgets. I can advertise it all over the world if I pay thousands to do so. I may or may not get my money back when I sell some.

However, if I mention the eBook in my next email to my list, at least some of them are guaranteed to buy as they have either already bought from you before or they would like to because that’s why they joined your opt-in list, and, therefore, trust you.

The bigger the list, the more you’ll profit.

A person with a list of, say, 1000 names selling an eBook for $39 with 10 people buying makes a profit of $390 with no outlay on advertising at all. If 100 people buy you’ll make $3900 profit - in just a few short minutes. Without a list, you’d get nothing as you’ve told nobody about your product. You must start building the list.

Now, imagine a list of 100,000, I’ll leave the math to you!

Submitting to the article sites may take some time but it’s worth it once you start getting the profits on a regular basis. To save you hours on end, though, try using software that automatically uploads and submits your articles for you. Article Submitter Pro is the one that I use. Type it into any good search engine to find out who is selling it.

There are more ways to create this ‘Viral Marketing’ effect to drive people to your website but submitting your, well written, articles to the article sites is a proven winner, try it now.

By the way, if you can’t write an article, just type out as much information as you can about your subject and visit www.elance.com and request that somebody write it for you. It will cost a few dollars but it will be very professional. Use this in your promotions.

Happy with the results from your TV, radio and print advertising? Ever feel like you aren’t getting the bang for the buck you envisioned?

Maybe you should consider rethinking your media mix. The concept of an advertising media mix is straightforward: Since no one magazine, newspaper, Web site, or broadcast outlet is likely to zero in on your target customer, choosing a variety of media based upon their ability to reach your desired demographic is more effective.

At leading advertising agencies, building the right media mix has become a near science where days untold time is spent honing, polishing and refining media selections to create a mix with sufficient reach and frequency to deliver. Gaining a thorough understanding of their client’s product and universe of customers, analyzing ratings data and circulation statements, and weighing certain intangible benefits each media candidate brings to the table, are but a few of the steps necessary to build the right media mix.

While the process has proven itself to be highly effective over the years, changes in technology that give consumers greater freedom to control media consumption demand new solutions and a rethinking of what goes into an effective media mix. Armed with remotes and digital video recorders, TV viewers easily circumvent commercials. Newspaper and magazine readers are now just a click away from the same content on the Web sans the full- or fractional-page ad adjacent to the article they used to pore over on the printed page. In effect, technology is short circuiting the rather simple media equation that implicitly promised advertisers the attention of customers as they consumed the content their medium had to offer.

Consider the impact of digital video recorders and remotes on the effectiveness of television advertising. A Feb. 13 article in The New York Times reports that an estimated 7 percent of the 110.2 million TV households in the United States are equipped with digital video recorders (DVRs). If that weren’t enough to give pause to TV advertisers, the article reports that estimates hold “that 50 percent to 70 percent of viewers playing back shows zip through the commercials.” How many TV households will have DVRs next year and beyond?

The story isn’t any better in the print world. “The State of the News Media 2004″ from journalism.org puts it bluntly: “Newspaper circulation is in decline.” The report states that the percentage of people reading newspapers began a long decline in the 1940s, but was masked by a growing U.S. population. By 1990, “circulation began to decline in absolute numbers,” according to the report. Between 1990 and 2002, newspaper circulation dropped 1 percent per year, it says.

However, there is a bright spot on the horizon, especially for those who are willing to rethink what makes up the media mix. An emerging technology that brings together dynamic display and media control at the point of purchase may be just the ingredient advertisers need to reinvigorate their media mix. In fact, a recent article in Media Daily News quotes Leo Kivijarv, vice president-research at Stamford, CT-based PQ Media, who identifies this slice of the media pie as one of the smallest advertising niches, but among the faster growing.

It goes by different names. In the retail environment, it’s called In-Store Digital Media (ISDM). At hotels and resorts, it’s known as digital reader boards. In public venues, like a sports arena, it’s called digital signage. But regardless of what you call it, advertising to people when they’re away from home, -often at the point of sale- is where you may find the most bang for your advertising buck.

The Media Daily News article quotes the author of a new study on out-of-home advertising as saying that this approach to advertising is about to transition from a relatively obscure marketing niche to a widely used, mainstream advertising medium.

In the article, Stephen Diorio, author of the report, says out-of-home advertising is “at the tipping point. This is a market that is poised to explode.” Since 2002, the article says, 700 digital out-of-home networks have been launched, accounting for $1.2 billion in advertising this year.

What’s in your media plan? Maybe it’s time you rethink your media mix alternatives. This may be the moment to redirect a portion of your advertising budget away from declining media mainstays and into alternatives on the rise, like out-of-home advertising.

It might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but a domain name search is actually one of the most important steps in creating a good web site. This is especially so for businesses that intend to be reliant on the Internet for traffic and customers. Doing a solid domain name search to find the best possible site name is vital.

The importance of a domain name search and the subsequent naming of the site is key in making sure people can find your site, remember your site name and also pass it along to their friends and other fellow potential clients.

Think of some of your favorite web sites and the names they use, and you’ll see why a domain name is so important. Business sites you frequent tend to use the business name in the domain. News sites either relate to the types of news they cover, or they use the publication name. Fun sites use names that spell out what they do or close to it. The catchier or shorter the domain name found during a search, the better.

As you do a domain name search to find the ideal business site name for your company, remember:

* Your search should include your business name and/or the topics your site will deal with. The more relevant the name to what you do or who you are, the better. This is important for helping potential clients remember your site name. If you can land your business name, or its main product, during a domain search, grab it.
* The domain name search tools provided by site building companies should be taken advantage of to find a name that’s unique, short, easy to spell, easy to remember and even more importantly easy to type. Stay away from names that are too long, too complicated or too unrelated to what you do. The further away a domain name is from who you are or what you do, the more likely it is you won’t have great success in marketing. Unless of course, the site name is so catchy, people can’t forget it.
* Use a domain name search to find a site name that’s uncomplicated. You don’t want your site to get lost in the shuffle. Don’t use a complex combination of letters, number and hyphens or underscores in your domain name. These tend to confuse people and make it difficult for them to remember how to find your site again.

As you do domain name searches, remember the site name you choose will likely be used by you to market your company, make sales and generally spread the word about who you are and what you do. Think marketing as you do searches and you’ll be on the right track.

Before you settle on a name for your site, ask yourself these questions:

* Has my domain name search covered all the possible bases?
* Does the name I’m thinking of using for my domain reflect what I do?
* Does the domain I’ve chosen have a catchy sound?
* Is the domain name easy to remember? Easy to type?

It might not seem like a very big deal, but naming a web site is key in driving traffic to it. The more thought that goes into the process, the better. Use domain name search tools to help you find the best possible name for your site.
