Posting audio

How do we insert audio into a post?

You post a link to a recording (located someplace else) and surround it with [audio...] and [/...audio]. (Don't forget to delete the periods.)

How would we upload the audio off phone? It's iPhone?

[jeff_lindqvist]

As far as I know, the audio must be stored somewhere else (which you can link to), e.g. a Dropbox account, Gdrive (possibly?), Soundcloud etc. How you upload it there from a phone, I don't know. You know your phone better than I. Mine is from 2004...

It might be possible to attach audio (using the Attachments button which is visible just below this very box while I'm writing this post). Yeah, that's probably possible, but I don't know the maximum file size. However, linked files (using the method above) are nicely embedded, with a visible "player".

Examples:
viewtopic.php?p=32968#p32968
viewtopic.php?p=37357#p37357

Ah, of course you can record yourself using Vocaroo, and paste the link here, like in this post:
viewtopic.php?p=35104#p35104

I have an iPhone. I recorded my recording with the 'dictaphone' apple default recording standard app that comes with the phone. I then uploaded it to dropbox. I think i had to email it to myself to be able to get it onto my laptop and then into dropbox. Then I went into my soundcloud account and uploaded the recording from dropbox to soundcloud. Finally I was able to then post it. I'm sure there's a much easier way- i'm definitely no computer whizz.

One way to insert audio is to upload it to a Soundcloud account.

*Create an account for yourself at Soundcloud.
*Then record your audio on your computer and upload it to that Soundcloud account.
*Then put the url between two soundcloud tags. Like this:

Code: Select all

[soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/tom-gosse/le-boudin[soundcloud]

*The above code should give you a link like this:

I hope this helps.
