Sounding Professional – Royalty Free Audio with AudioJungle

Our AudioJungle Review: Securing Professional Audio for your Podcasts, Videos, and More

Building a professional website is easy. You can publish a WordPress site and seamlessly create a clean, visually stunning website within just a matter of minutes (view our 8 Minute Non-Techie WordPress Installation Tutorial for tips on how to do this).

But as soon as you start doing a little more with your site – publishing videos, publishing podcasts, etc. – you start to realize that there’s something you forgot: audio.

There is perhaps no other area on your site where the medium of your message will be so important as audio. You can record a highly intelligent and helpful podcast, but if your microphone barely picks up your voice and your audio samples sound poor, no one will want to listen to it.

Luckily, AudioJungle.net (a sister site of PhotoDune, which I’ve reviewed here) is here to fill that exact need. Using their royalty free audio samples and music, you can build a professional video or podcast that will accomplish exactly what you set out to do: attract and sustain the attention of your leads and customers.

Using AudioJungle to Enhance Your Sound and Music

If you took my advice on PhotoDune.net, then you’ve already signed up for an account over there. If you have, then you can use that same account at AudioJungle.net – in fact, if you’re already logged in, you can simply cruise in to AudioJungle.net right now and begin using the site.

Similarly, AudioJungle’s interface will remind you of PhotoDune’s. Here’s how you can start browsing around AudioJungle:

• There’s a search bar on the upper right for typing in what you want to hear. Once you’ve entered a search, you can then filter out various categories to look more specifically for the exact sound files you want.
• You can listen to previews of each sound and song simply by clicking on it. The easy interface for these audio files allows for quick streaming so you’re not waiting for a preview on each file. This makes for quick browsing to find the exact files you want.
• You can sort by each file’s rating, sales, price, and date to ensure that you’re getting the audio files you want.
• You can browse through different types of audio from music and music packs to sound effects to audio transitions

Additionally, you’ll notice that there’s one chief advantage to all of this audio: it’s very inexpensive. Usually, studio-quality audio effects can cost a lot of money. At AudioJungle, you’ll find a wide range of music and sound effects starting at $1. In some cases, you can download songs that you re-use over and over again for your podcast or for your videos for just a few dollars, royalty-free.

How to Utilize AudioJungle for Maximum Impact

Once you’ve gone through AudioJungle yourself and searched through the appropriate audio files, you’re ready to use audio on your own site to have the most possible impact on your readers and users.

There are a number of ways to go about this. First, you can incorporate these audio effects and songs into your videos. For example, if you have an introductory video on your site, you can enhance that video by inserting audio you’ve downloaded from AudioJungle. Even small effects like transitions can add to the professional quality of your video.

Second, you can use this royalty free audio for regular audio projects like podcasts. This is where “royalty-free” is especially handy; you don’t have to pay for repeated use of these audio files.

If you want to maximize your sound’s impact on your leads and customers, head over to AudioJungle.net and listen to free samples of the audio they provide.
