As a content creator, generating quality, compelling videos is key for audience engagement. But even with modernized technology, some creators have poor audio or video quality and lack the knowledge to implement tactics for enhancement. It doesn’t take an AV expert to facilitate experiences, even for executives hosting virtual meetings. How can you boost authority and impact through high-caliber videos? Today’s digitally-savvy guests weigh in.
Whether a content creator, news anchor, or meeting director, indistinct or garbled audio is tedious, compromises engagement, and sometimes leads to Zoom fatigue. Software experts Philipp Eggebrecht and Neil Fluester say that exceptional audio is the fundamental baseline for effective meetings and video content, so investing in technology like stream decks is ideal. These control boards enhance audio quality and create engaging video displays through graphics and sound effects, allowing you to convey experiential stories and streamline the creative process for optimal participation.

How about that, you know, it’s because I’m humble and kind. And I’m not trying to tease anybody, the windows, the nasty one of the pair.
Rolando Rosas 6:15
I’m the braver one. That’s how I would call it. I love taking some risks. And you know, I was saying it in my brain, as Phil was telling us and I was like, yeah, Eggebrecht.
Philipp Eggebrecht 6:30
It’s German. And there’s actually it’s interesting. So it’s a combination of two old German words that the first one is spear or like tip, and the second word is bearer. And so essentially, it means or I guess it was the old way to say spear bearer, someone in the army who would hold a spear. And you have just be a soldier, which I just learned somewhat recently, and I know it’s pretty cool.
Rolando Rosas 6:55
You know? And the reason I wanted to take a stab at it is because my last name is only five letters, and it’s pronounced wrong all the time. Our Oh, I’m gonna get let’s try. Let’s try words. Do it here. There we go. It’s on screen now. Thanks, Ari. The last name? How would you say that?

Although there are there is a version of that with a J. But yeah, row as like to turn on and return on adspend seems to be a lot or Rojas. Right? So if you were seeing it in the the Espanol version, process with that process. British people
Neil Fluester 7:58
make that noise. By the way, we didn’t go in or we don’t make that noise in the King’s English, I’m afraid. No, it’s not allowed. I can’t do that. So interestingly, fluster is whisper in German. So you got two Germans on the technically today.
