A 'soundboard'
is like an audio album or soundtrack/jukebox for all your favorite Mp3 sound bites
and audio clips. You can build a sounboard for your own listening pleasure or upload
your sound and share it with the world.
Soundboards are perfect for musicians of all kinds, radio stations, tv, podcasts,
family, comedy, products, politicians and campaigns and much, much more. Express
and promote yourself through your soundboard.
And now you can even make money with your board. Learn how it works

Board Share is our innovative program that allows registered members/builders the
opportunity to share and use sound bites from other soundboards. Choosing a 'public'
board also allows visitors to embed your soundboard and download, email your tracks
- or add them to their own board. It is up to the individual soundboard owner as
to whether or not enable this feature.

You can easily use iTunes. To convert a song's file format just insert the disk
and open iTunes:
- Choose Edit > Preferences, then click the Advanced tab at the top of the window
and click Importing.
- From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the Mp3 format that you want to convert
the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
- Select one or more songs in your library, then choose Advanced > Convert Selection
to MP3
- To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Shift key and choose
Advanced > "Convert Selection to," then choose the folder or disk containing
the songs you want to convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be
converted except audio files you purchased from the iTunes Music Store. (Purchased
songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted.)
There are many conversion programs out there that will take all your .wav files
and convert them to mp3 quickly and easily. Our favorite program is Smart Wave Converter Or the free Mp3 recorder you receive with your membership
can convert them for you.
You can also use the free mp3 recorder, we teach you
how in our Recorder Tutorial
Your membership includes use of our Mp3 Recorder. It
let's you record tracks up to a minute long and post them directly onto your soundboard.
All you need is a microphone.
iPhone, iPad, iPod: You can also record and post directly to your soundboard using
our new app, Soundboard Recorder.
Login to your account. You have TWO ways to upload files.
Enter the name or title of your sound clip and select 'browse'. Find the mp3 file
on your hard drive, hit OK and then click 'Submit' on the page.
Add up to ten tracks at once. Just 'browse' for all the files you'd like to add
and when complete, click the 'Upload' button. You will receive a status message.
You will get a message telling you whether or not your upload was successful.
You can also add sounds to your playlist using Board Share, Record and Post on our
home page and Add a Track.
Please check to make sure you have the latest version of Flash installed and updated.
As well, if you just uploaded them, they may not be visible at the moment but are
listed. Clear your cache and check back later.
Your soundboard will not become available for viewing, public or private, until
you customize it and add/link at least one mp3 file. Your board will then be public.
The problem of the speed up is in the mp3 code. Flash doesn't support VBR mp3 and
the code must be at 44100.
To check whether your Mp3s are compatible simply mouseover or check the properties
on the file. If the "bit rate" says "40kbps" it is NOT compatible.
If you mouseover/properties and see "56kbps" or HIGHER - it IS compatible
and will work correctly. Most Mp3s today run at the faster so few of you should
encounter this problem, only with older mp3 files.
Your free soundboard allows you to upload 125mb worth of Mp3 files. That is ALOT
of space, some of our best boards contain hundreds of tracks.
Yes. First of all, with Flash you cannot 'right-click' and 'save' from a program.
Second, all our playlists are dynamically created and the source file locations
are encrypted and varied. This ensures that the protected location of your files
never appears.
Finally, your account management and upload is SSL secured, making sure anything
you do to manage is encrypted by Global Sign. Please click the image at the bottom
of this page to verify.

Traditionally yes but that is NOT what our site is about. We are redefining what
a soundboard is and trying to bring it into the mainstream. Prank phone calls are
great - if you're 13 years old.
Our site is designed to be a 'library of sound' we think the 'soundboard' is a terrific
media to deliver short and entertaining sound bites you can explore and share.
Soundboards aren't for prank calls anymore - they are for SOUND. All types of sounds
from Churchill to kids to music and travel.
Because we make it so easy for you to build, customize, manage, edit, update and
promote your own high-quality Flash soundboard. You also get to link from your soundboard
to your web site.
Plus, you benefit from all the daily traffic this web site currently receives -
we are a Top 5,000 site according to Quancast.
Finally, for the TRAFFIC. Building a soundboard means 'exposure' in more ways than
one including our site traffic and search engine listings. You also ge to link your
board to your site, creating a backlink to your own venture.
And it's all free so the question is, what exactly are you waiting for?
