Web Audio Plus is a software program that converts your audio files into a file that you can use on your web site that will stream. Web Audio Plus is a great little program that I like a lot and use almost every day. This program is super simple to use and has a few easy steps to produce a finished streaming audio file complete with buttons ready to insert in your website. Overview Basically to use Web Audio plus you have to either use a microphone and record your audio into Web Audio Plus or load an mp3 or wav file into the program. Upload your audio file the program creates to your web server. Copy and paste the code Web Audio Plus generates for you into your web page. Steps To Take For A finished Streaming Audio File Select Recording Device: The first thing you need to do is decide whether you are going to record your audio from within the software or import an already recorded file. If you decide to record from within click next and hit the record button and start recording. When you are happy with the recording hit stop and play back your new recording. Choosing a file you have already recorded to upload is as simple as browsing for your file and clicking open. Which method you choose to get your audio into the program is up to you but I have found the medium quality works well. This is a good compromise between file size and sound quality. Choose Buttons: Your next task is to choose the buttons you would like to use. You have lots of choices in color so pick a color and style that will look good with your website design. The color chart on the left is what color the button will be and on the right is what color the background will be. There is a preview button near the bottom to see what your choice will look like. Review Options: This screen will let you choose where to save your finished file and what size the buttons will be. The default on the button size is 200 by 73. I usually change this to 100 by 73 as I think it looks better. Pick the location where you want to save your finished file. The default is your desktop, which is ok with me, then copy your html code by clicking the button. Click the make button and like magic your streaming audio buttons are ready for use. Upload your finished files to your website and change the location in your code to reflect the path where you are storing the files and you are good to go. Copy the code Web Audio Plus provides into your web page and your website should talk or sing. |
