    I need your help!

    I've got a website where people can download sound effects to use in their presentations, video games, and home videos, and I need some ideas for blogs to write for it.

    The audience is obviously very varied but they have a lot in common. What sort of things could I write about?

    How about audio editing. I'm guessing that most of your audience would like to be able to modify the sound effects to suit their needs.
    You could write up simple tutorials on how to "do stuff" using Audacity.

    e.g adding reverb, compression, sample rate conversion, stereo to mono, time stretching, speeding up and slowing down, etc etc...

    Another usefull thing to write is a video game that is using cool sounds, with a youtube related media or something. Pointing out at the end some resource you provide that does the same thing. Be creative :)

    I guess it could be site updates, this wont let your content scattered between site and blog. Also some good tips which you felt cant be put in site can be included here.

    clearly mention that you are offering full length videos, great pics and if necessary mp3 files to download.

    Thanks for the tips.

    So far I have come up with 4.

    Creating atmosphere with sound fx
    Films that were changed with sound
    Making sound effects with everyday objects
    Creating effective media

    I like the idea of the Audacity but I'm not an expert myself.

    I need one more today, and I'd like it to be something more based on entertainment than a "guide".

    Why don't you hire an expert hand in that field. Saves you the stress :-0
