Hosting sound files
Hello all!
Anyone have any recommendations for where to host sound files online? I usually have my files in .wav format directly from my H2 ZOOM.
Preferably, I'm hoping to have a link where folks can click a link, and the audio file will come right up...

Box.net is the host of choice for many here. I like it. No direct linking, but it's friendly and popup and ad free.

Dr. Mierzwiak: Well, technically speaking, the procedure is brain damage.

Check out soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/
I've been noticing it popping up lately in various music forums that I follow, and I'm really impressed with it.

It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Re: Hosting sound files
Hehehe... I'm all for style points, but on public forums I usually leave url's as-is so people can see what they're clicking.
I'll have to see if I can convert my clips to MP3 on the H2, it takes over a minute to download a 60 second .wav file.

Sorry for bouncing this thread around. It does feel like it belongs more in Forum Support than Trad Tech. - Mod.

Re: Hosting sound files
I found a free .wav to MP3 converter here: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
It made an MP3 file 1/10 the size of the original .wav file.

<Uploading an MP3 file also enables you to play the file directly, instead of downloading!!!>

There's always LAME ... which at least used to be the freeware standard. And lots of freeware wrappers for it, like Bonk.

Re: Hosting sound files
Another test, this time with a whistle...
Slow Low Improv
http://soundcloud.com/clarinetcat/slow-low-improv
I really like the WavePad Sound Editor that same with my wav/MP3 converter from that NCH Software link I provided above... I can edit the file, fade in, fade out, trim, add effects like reverb, compression, gate, equalizer, etc etc etc
I highly recommend taking at look at it.
<Did I mention it was FREE?!?!?>
