I have been using SoundCloud for quite awhile now, but never uploaded any tracks. It's actually very easy!
1. Register/log in here.
2. Have the tracks you want to upload ready (they must be saved to your computer already).
3. Upload tracks.
I haven't used this feature yet, but you can go ahead and record yourself! So if you're interested in making a cover or singing an original song, go for it! If not, select "choose a file to upload"
This will open up another window; access and select the file you want to upload, then click okay.
4. Processing.
The music file has to process beforehand, but while you do that, you can fill in the other info! You can add a picture if you want, title the track properly and add artist info. After that, just hit save to finish uploading it.
If you're uploading, I believe you can only upload about 300 minutes worth of music before you have to upgrade accounts.
Kaylen, I just wanted to say thank you for all your posts today, especially this one! I have been thinking of having people record their stories as a "revision" option (so people would take a week and instead of writing or revising, they would record their story). Soundcloud is so easy to use; that little "record" option means no special extra software or anything; you just talk, and you can also use some other kind of recording software and upload the file, just as you discovered. I am excited about that for next year, and I was really glad to see you had experimented with SoundCloud too! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you!! That sounds really cool!
