Professional Audio & Voice Over Recording

Audio RecordingMultimedia company S.E.O. Technologies Pty Ltd offers professional recording and voice over services to complement web presentations, web videos, animated and interactive websites, CD-ROM and DVD audio narration and music. The term ‘voice over’ refers to an off-camera commentary that can be performed live or added post-recording.

Using modern recording equipment and software gives great flexibility in the recording, mixing and mastering states for editing, level balancing, compressing and limiting. It also gives the option of adding effects such as reverberation, equalisation, flanging and many many more. You can give your corporate presentations and website a dynamic edge with studio-quality audio and voice overs.

The Development of Audio Recording

Voice OverThe first sound recording and reproduction device was the mechanical phonograph cylinder. There had been other machines that could record and produce sound before this, such as the hydropowered organ, but were very limited. The phonograph cylinder was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, which rapidly spread to become a very popular device until 1910. In 1889 the gramophone disc was invented by Emile Berliner, which were easier to manufacture, transport and store.

By the 1920s, audio recording became electronic. This involved the development of microphones, loudspeakers, mixing desks and amplifiers. From the 1950s to the 1980s magnetica tapes and tape recorders replaced all previous technology. But in 1982 audio recording was revolutionised once again by the development of the compact disc and digital sound recording. The CD format was resisted by the record industry because of the ease of reproduction of originals with high quality sound by consumers. Since the 1990s media such as DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and HD DVDs have been developed. Sound files are downloaded from the internet or ripped off hard copy mediums such as CDs as digital files, and played on digital audio players (from phones, MP3 players, I-PODs and so on).

Integrating Videos Online

WebvideoCreating a multimedia and  interactive site is an exciting and successful way to promote your goods and services to customers. One aspect of this multimedia web design is integrating presentations with full audio and video capabilities. Another aspect is integrating “webvideos” or online optimised video clips. Basically the video is produced with narration and/or a soundtrack in a Flash format, compressed to reduce the file size for ease and speed of downloading without compromising the quality of the original clip, then published online. SEO Technologies Pty Ltd is a web design, SEO and multimedia company in Sydney that can produce high quality presentations and video clips and integrate them into you website. In addition, the company has in-house ProTools studio for voiceovers and audio production.

Flash

Adobe FlashAdobe Flash (originally Macromedia Flash) is a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages such as advertisements, forms and video. It was developed by Johnathan Gay in 1996 while working for Silicon Beach Software. It is a very effective format to use online as almost 100% of users have Flash Player installed and so are able to access Flash graphics, functions and videos. Compared to other plug-ins such as Java, QuickTime or Windows Media Player, it has a small install size, is quick to download and initialise.

Flash content is programmed with ActionScript to provide interactive features (such as buttons, text entry fields, etc). By using scripting instead of animating it, programmers save time and have more flexibility when editing it. Flash files usually have a .swf file extension (ShockWave Flash), which can  be played in a standalone Flash Player or as a self-executing Flash movie. Embedded Flash movies form the basis of sites such as YouTube, as most users have acces to Flash Player, which eliminates problems of platforms and no standard video format across the web.
