Imported Audio bad on first few slides

Nov 08, 2012

I used Audacity to record the audio and then imported it into articulate (Presenter 9). The first 7 slides the audio quality is not great, and ten on slide 8 it sounds great.  All audio was recorded in the same Audacity session using the same sessions. Playback within Audacity sounds fine.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob!

This may be due to the fact that Articulate generates MP3 files to create the slide SWF files. There's a support article that provides some information about improving the quality of imported audio. It covers modifying the bitrate to improve quality. You can read the article here.


There are third party tools that you can use to increase the quality of your audio. Here are some articles and tutorials to help you out:
