Using
Music and Sound Effects on your website
We all know when it comes to a website that you want it to look the
best that it can do. You could have a blog that you write, or you may
be a site with o2
Mobile Broadband review, either way though you want people to enjoy
visiting your site. Having sound effects in one way or another is a
great way to do this. What follows is some information regarding this:
Music
for use on the web is most commonly found in these three formats:
MP3,
WAV and Flash
WAV
Format
WAV loops are very large in size (44k 16 bit) and can't be played on a
web site as they are.
You need to import them into the Flash program to convert them down to
a managable size.
If you own Flash software or want to add music to an existing Flash
project, using the WAV
files offers you lots of flexibility. Not only can you decide the
playback quality of the music,
you can also string 2 or even more matching music loops together in
your favorite sound editing program
before importing into Flash for more musical variety (but also larger
file sizes)
Our
Music Loops come in WAV Format or Pre-Built Flash/HTML Format - the
choice is yours.
FLASH
Format
Using our pre-formatted Flash format loops makes it easy to add
professional near CD quality music
tracks to your website. To add for instance the Rock1 loop to your web
page, simply copy the HTML code
from the Rock1.html file at the bottom of your web page and upload the
matching Rock1.swf file to your
server. The music will load in mere seconds and loop almost
indefinitely. It's that easy.
MP3
Format:
The MP3 Format is only
suitable for single shot sounds
(like our Sound FX, Stingers and Intros)
MP3 files do not loop cleanly in Flash that's why we do not sell our
music loops in the MP3 Format. Only single duration stingers, sound
effects, and button sounds work well imported as an MP3 file.
