hey what is up guys it's Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and welcome to another HD tutorial in the midst of a bunch of hardware that's going to be coming up today are these this coming week but I feel like I should leave you guys with some more software some bringing you guys another HD tutorial from the free studio manager available at DVD video soft calm and today I want to check out this free audio converter now I know a lot of you guys are going to eggs up because you don't think you need an audio converter but I suggest you watch the whole video so you guys actually understand what I'm what I why I think you guys will benefit from a free audio converter so to get this this whole freeware manager here this is the latest version just go to DVD video soft comm you'll see the freeware bundle download it and all these will be grayed out and you go ahead and click on the one you want to download and it'll take you to a direct download link you install it everything and you are good you have it now I don't want to have to explain that every time I do a studio a studio tutorial but I you know I guess I have to so once you've downloaded the the piece of software number 18 it'll be dark like this just go ahead and click on it to open it and it'll come up like this and it's very very simple just like the entire rest of the freeware package you have an input file an output folder and a format now it does have a lot of input files so if we want to go ahead and record something let's say we have audacity and we you know we're trying to make a podcast here right so we want to not only make a podcast but sync the video of the podcast with the audio so let's go ahead and record something real quick testing testing testing and once we do this we're going to go ahead and file and go ahead and save project as now I'm sorry we're going to export this and we're going to go ahead and export it as an mp3 actually no let's go ahead and export it as a WAV because the WAV WAV test doesn't actually work with a lot of a lot of programs like moviemaker some certain programs like Camtasia Studio in Sony Vegas certain ones won't take WAV so just go ahead and save it and you can always double click on your wav to play it there it is on our desktop double click and it will open up in Windows Media Player and go ahead and play the testing testing 1 2 3 so now if we wanted to import that into something that doesn't take WAV like I said you guys I really do believe that audacity gives you better audio quality than if you were to record with Camtasia Studio 6 so if I were to do an unboxing video and do voice over I would definitely record in audacity remove the audio there and then import it into Camtasia Studio so let's go ahead and browse for our input file here and we saved it to our desktop and it is called wav test right there and it will take your WAV now you go ahead and select your output name we're going to change it into mp3 but it obviously can be changing to a number of other things I'm going ahead and choose an output folder so we're just going to put this right on our desktop next to the WAV test and you guys will be able to see which is really cool there are a lot of formats that you can go ahead and convert this into including mp3 wav and WMA now Windows Media Audio is one of the more popular kinds that won't be accepted by a number of others but this free audio converter will accept WMA and convert it into mp3 which is really compatible anyway we're going to go ahead and choose our quality I'm going to go ahead and go with the high quality since I'm mr. podcast and everything and hit the convert button now it's only a two second file so that was done almost instantaneously however if that was a longer file it'll take a good 45 seconds to a minute and sometimes higher so we go ahead and close and exit out and there's that mp3 we just created so there's a WAV as you can tell by the logo and here's mp3 as you can tell by the logo and when we double click the mp3 it opens up in media player again and plays with the exact same quality and another thing is you guys can use your video I'm sorry your audio recorder built into Windows Vista if you go ahead and search recorder under in the windows just the Start menu you'll see there's a sound recorder we'll go ahead and hit the sound recorder and I'm just going to record something real quick testing testing one two three testing one two three and once we exit this this is going to save it automatically as a Windows Media audio file a WMA and that is the only option so when we do say this says WMA and say we want to import it into Camtasia Studio 6 it won't work so when I do my unboxing videos and record it with the sound recorder and want to import it I definitely need to use that audio converter I just showed you guys and use go ahead and use that and import it into a Camtasia Studio now before you exit out I do plan on doing a video on syncing the good microphone audio with the bad microphone audio because I know the audio built into my my digital camera is complete crap and I realized that so I will definitely do a video on how to use your good microphone audio even though the camera does not have an audio in so anyway thanks for watching the software video guys there will be more hardware and software to come so I hope you guys enjoy the variety that I present you with and please rate this video five stars it really does help me and it'll definitely accelerate my path towards becoming a YouTube partner and helping more people so anyway thank you for watching and thank you for checking out this video and yes the wallpaper link will be in the description if you guys want to check it out and also I'll be tweeting out my wallpaper links at my Twitter every time I change my wallpaper I'll go ahead and tweet out a link for you guys twitter.com slash mkbhd and that is basically it thank you for watching peace
