WHAT IS SOCIAL AUDIO?

Breakaway Master

Let's See. Playtime Edit. Vocal Tuned.

This is one of those songs about reminiscing with the old times over someone that stole your breath away but sadly drifted apart as the years elapsed and one night everything changed.

Take You Home Tonight

This track is for anyone who's lost their soulmate.  It was the story of a man who regrets not telling his love that he loved her enough and now it haunts him everywhere he goes.

It Used To Be Hers

Very powerful duet uniting two contestants from The Voice from #TeamAdamLevine.  It's a song about a broken relationship that seems to have reached its undeniable and sad conclusion.

Waiting

PAINT THE GRAY is a compelling and catchy song, wri^en with a special inten8on: to be the next inspira8onal, inclusive anthem that will unite us all toward a more hopeful future; to do what we can to stop the terrible wave of violence everywhere, especially against children through school shoo8ngs and street violence. Too many children are dying senselessly. Everyone is a mother’s child. It’s 8me to work together to create posi8ve change to promote kindness and dispel hatred . This is a call to ac8on - It’s 8me to “PAINT THE GRAY”.

Social Audio Meets Livestreaming (AI Summary)

"THE MICROPHONE MATTERS"

Elevating Audio Quality in Content Creation.

Whether you're recording a podcast, hosting a webinar, or fine-tuning your AI voice model, audio quality is everything. 

A great microphone isn’t just about clarity—it’s about capturing depth, tone, and presence that keeps your audience engaged.

🔊 Why does mic quality matter? 

(1) Clarity & Intelligibility

Poor audio is distracting. A crisp, well-balanced mic eliminates background noise and ensures every word lands with impact.

(2) Professionalism 

Whether in a Zoom meeting or a narrated video, high-quality audio commands attention and builds credibility.

(3) Listener Fatigue 

Harsh, distorted, or muffled sound forces listeners to strain, leading to disengagement over time.

🎛️ Choosing The Right Mic 

 ✔ Dynamic vs. Condenser? 

Condenser for studio-grade detail 
Dynamic for noise isolation  

 ✔ USB vs. XLR? 

USB for plug-and-play 
XLR for pro-level customization 

 ✔ Directional Pickup? 

Cardioid for solo work 
Omnidirectional for room recordings

No matter the setup, investing in a quality mic pays off in engagement, retention, and professionalism. 

What’s your go-to microphone, and how has it transformed your recordings?

avoid using built-in laptop microphones or other low-quality
equipment. 

• Reduce Background Noise

background noise.

How to Make Twitter Work For Your Business. 

Part 1 of an interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland.


"HOW TO" Make Twitter Work For Your Business

CRACK THE TWITTER CODE & “GO GLOBAL”  Part 2 of the interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland. 

(1) Sharing Is Better Than Chocolate 


In the social media space and in Twitter in particular, you really need to get your head around this idea of sharing first and being a resource for others. This is very, very important if you want to gain the trust of your tribe, your followers. So you really need to understand that social media, that Twitter in particular, is about sharing. Sharing first then building trust then moving it forward.

(2) The 80-20 Rule


It’s not all about you. In part 1, we talked about the importance of sharing and now I’d like to share with you a bit of a formula for that, the 80-20 rule. So if you tweet five times a day or once a day, five days a week, I’d like you to explore the idea of tweeting four out of five times for your tribe, for others and only one time out of five about you. No one really cares what you’re doing today and no one wants to get your spamming messages all the time. So remember, the 80-20 rule. It’s not all about you.

(3) Connecting With People That You Don’t YET Know


This is a very, very important paradigm to get because if you think that Twitter and Facebook and these types of things are for meeting people that you know already that you went to school with 20 years ago, then don’t use it for business, use it for fun. I teach you to tweet for business. If you want to get traction in the Twitter-verse, I really want you to open up to the idea that there are seven billion beings in the world and 500 million of them are on Twitter. So social media is for meeting people that you don’t yet know.

(4) Be Authentic – Find Your Niche


This is especially important in Twitter. In Twitter, you can use power words, we call them hash tags to magnify, to magnetize, to gravitate towards your followers. People will gravitate towards certain keywords and the best way to start really honing in on those words is to focus. Focus on your target market, be authentic to who you are, and really speak to the people that you want to follow you. Be authentic and find your niche.

(5) Automation Tools Can Save You Time


Now, this is a very contentious issue, but I do believe the most beneficial part of using Twitter. You can schedule your tweets ahead of time. Now, that might sound counterintuitive and if it does, just remember that if you don’t do this, you are doomed to tweet in real time as long as you use Twitter. Now if you can cope with that, that’s fine, that’s beautiful, and that’s probably preferable, but it’s not possible in a busy life.

So there are several really great scheduling tools that allow you to schedule your tweets throughout the day so that you can go and work and pick up the kids and cook the meal and do all the things that we do as human beings. You can use your tweets to maximize your reach and maximize your potential.
