Audio Sermon Compilations @ SermonIndex

Audio Sermon Compilations @ SermonIndexOver the last few years, with new technology and software innovations "audio compilations" have started to appear among Christian circles to stir up passion in the hearts of believers.These compilations are a powerful mix of music and other sound files. Here I want to teach you how to create them. You will be surprised at how easy it is. They are usually aimed towards Christians, but you could easily create one aimed toward the Lost and even include information on your Church, youth group or ministry on the CD. The first thing you will need are mp3 and/or wav files for your compilations. You can get those here and other places on the internet. You will only need one simple software program - Accoustica. You can download it by clicking on this link. It is free for 30 days then you need to pay a registration fee of $25.These are sound files mixed together to produce the compilation "The Revival Hymn". Notice the timeline at the top of the image. Play this file and fast forward it 50 seconds. Then you will see how the different files come to play in the next 40 seconds. You will notice the music file on top which needs to be in mp3 format and at least 96kbps in quality, but preferably 128kbps. The files below are clips that were cut out of sermons. For example you will notice the first one being "What is your life?" from Leonard Ravenhill. Then it moves into a clip I cut out of Ten Shekels and a Shirt. From there is goes back to Ravenhill and then a clip from "Revival in Lewis" by Duncan Campbell begins. The entire time the music continues playing at the top. The bars with blue squares control the volume of the clip. Sometimes you need to make one louder and another softer for the overall presentation to come out right. Also, in the Accoustica program you will notice a drop down menu at the top of the screen that says "Volume". Click on the drop down menu and select "pan". This is how you bounce the audio between left and right speaker. Make sure the menu is on "pan" then move the bars up for left speaker and down for right.A few tips when using this software. You will have to listen to different sermons and write down the different times in the sermon where something is said that you might want to put on a compilation. The file cannot be in real audio it must be in mp3 format You will need a software program like "AudioConvert" or "Audio Record Wizard". Just look for either of those at www.download.com to download a copy of them. Audio Record Wizard is cheaper but AudioConvert gives you a fully functional free two week trail.You will need this software to convert real audio as well as low quality mp3s. Just play the sermon on your computer and record it in one of the programs at 112-160 kbps in mp3 format. This format will come out clear on an audio CD. If you try to put a low quality mp3 file (like those on sermonaudio.com etc) on to a CD it will have a loud 'wasp' sound to it. You need the software above to record it at a higher quality and then bring it in to accoustica.In the software program you click on the tab "sound" and then "add sound" and select the file you want to use. If it is from a sermon obviously the file might be over an hour long. All you do is click on it and cut/delete the part of it you do not want, leaving the clip that you do want. Important: When cutting through long files like that make sure you click on the "zoom out" magnifying glass icon or you will have to do allot of scrolling.Save files as .sgp That is like a work file for Accoustica - which can only be used in the software program. This saves your file so you can work on it later. Also save the file as an mp3. I usually save it at around 128 kbps and that is sharp enough for a CD - however pay attention to the quality of your MP3's. If you use a 96 kbps mp3 and save the file as 160 kbps it will not improve the quality of the 96 kbps file. Use files that are 112 kbps or better. You might be able to get away with some files that are a little lower in quality.If you produce a compilation please send me an email sermonindex@msn.com (note: don't send the audio file as an attachment, I will send you ftp information). I would love to hear the file you created and might like to post it to www.sermonindex.net

I have finished my first complimation:Speak To Me (compilation) This Compilation is small clips from David Wilkersons' message: A Famine In the Land w/ the worship song 'Speak to Me' in the background.

Arielle has taken a look at it- she's the computer guru in the house. She says it seems pretty easy- just the time it takes to find everything you want (parts of sermons, music, etc...)If she needs any help at all tell her to email me or PM me. There are some tricky things with the audio bitrate but other than that its quite simple and I think she can forsure do it. :-D looking forward to hearing what Arielle comes up with!

I worked on another Compilation listen to it here:Ravenhill01 (compilation)

I worked on another Compilation listen to it here:Ravenhill02 (compilation) this mix includes clips of prayers made by Leonard Ravenhill.

THIS is the first compilation submitted by users from SermonIndex.net:arielle and MoreofHim made an awesome compilation.. this is a MUST listen:Lay It Down (compilation) This compilation is all about surrender and laying it all down.. get ready to be challanged and convicted by the Holy Spirit.Sermons used:Pigs in the Parking Lot (Carter Conlon), Christ Magnified in Our Bodies (Ravenhill), Counterfeit Spirituality (David Wilkerson), and Ten Shekels and a Shirt (Paris Reidhead).

Check out a new complimation by Ron (InTheLight):Be My Witnesses (compilation) It has clips of David Wilkerson and Carter Colon. I really like the ending on this one! :)NOTE: all complimation submissions will NOT be added to SermonIndex.net I don't like to turn things down but there is a need to ensure that there is a quality of recordings done. If you are going to attempt one please spend time on it, the Revival Hymn took Chris a month!

Ron (inthelight) finished another intresting complimation listen to it here:Signs of An Active Faith (compilation)

Hey Greg I really enjoyed your Leonard Ravenhill compilations, especially the prayer one.Thanks brother. yea I feel they are a blessing to listen too, I am not an expert at making these complimations but by Gods grace they worked out pretty good:Ravenhill01 (compilation) Ravenhill02 (compilation)Ravenhill03 (compilation) And I just want to let you know that this website started a revival in my own life! I listened to that Selah compilation with Ravenhill then I started downloading his sermons and was totally blown away. I then bought Power Through Prayer by E.M. Bounds (which he recommended reading) and began to see how poor my devotional life really was.Praise God.. Yes we all need to experience revival personally in our own lifes before others can catch the fire, please check out this thread:Keep the Fire Burning!This happened at the end of last year and this year I'm starting up a prayer meeting on Friday nights, primarily to pray for revival!Wow, I might want to do the same in my own church, I encourage others even if you are young but you know your church needs revival to go in the Lord's leading and start a prayer meeting for revival specifically.1 Timothy 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.Be encouraged, and continue on in the (more than adequate) strength of our Lord.Thank you brother, you have been an encouragement to me :-D Ephesians 1:19 - and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,

heres another powerful ravenhill complimation:Crowns (compilation)

[image][img align=left]https://www.sermonindex.net/images/onething.gif[/img]One thing you lack (compilation) This one is radical, for some it may be too radical. It could haunt us, but in reality these are simply the words of Jesus that we have a tendency to skim over. Nothing watered down here. Play it if you want, might mess with you though.

Just so people know and don't keep asking me why certain complimations are gone from this site. The ravenhill family contacted me and requested that the complimations that have clips of Leonard Ravenhill to be taken down off the site. For two reasons one no-one asked permission to do these types of mixes with Ravenhills voice, second they feel his words and message could be taken out of context.I have a deep respect for the ravenhill family from what I have heard and spoken with them. I personally made 3 of the complimations of ravenhill and felt they were God honouring and didn't take anything away from the message he potrayed to the church. I am saddened by this and feel that the Lord was using these complimations for his glory in a powerful way :-( I have left the Revival Hymn Mix up firstly because its one of the most linked to files on the site and also one of the most downloaded. Secondly I have had so many reports of it impacting peoples lifes in a major way ie:This site has helped answer prayersIt has very small clips of ravenhill 2 or 3 and they really don't take anything out of context. I would feel like I am sinning if I took it off the site.. Lord have your way.
