Hello Everyone,
Since my mictest.wav file worked I think it's okay for folk to begin uploading .wav files and practicing and testing this forum. There is not going to be any cost for more than a month, so everyone can take part and try this out and hear each other and all that stuff. The only problem I'm seeing so far is that BIG files aren't working. So let your tests be a few words, like ...
"Hi Yall"
"Mic Test, 1, 2, 3"
"My name is _______"
"This is a great idea"
Stuff like that. I think you all get the idea. We just want to be sure that everyone is able to record and upload and stuff. No poetry yet (unless it's a Haiku) because big files will probably cause a database error. I've got more work to do on that. I'll let you know when it's ready.
For the record ... I made that little mictest sound file with the free program, Sound Recorder, that comes on every Windows machine. I actually made it on my laptap which is running Windows 95. I had to click on "Start" then "Programs" then "Accessories" then "Multimedia" and there I found the program "Sound Recorder." On Windows 98 I think "Sound Recorder" can be found under "Start" then "Programs." Again, I created it with a program that comes packaged on Windows machines. You can also use "Sound Recorder" to both record and play the files. If you are running a Mac I'm not sure what to tell you. I'll find us some links to help provide more information. The "Sound Recorder" creates .wav files only and at this point that is all the forum will accept (in the way of sound files), so the RealMedia files won't play here and shouldn't be considered at this point. I'm sure some Family Members may be able to add on to this question, making suggestions and stuff.
Oh Boy! Waiting to hear yall!
