To record an
Audio Message you will need a Microphone hooked up to your computer,
and your computer must also have a Sound Card.
Your Audio
Message can only be 60 seconds long. The longer your messages is,
the more bandwith it takes up, and you only have 1 Gigabyte (GB) of
Bandwith per month with a FREE AngelFire website.
What is
bandwidth? Bandwidth is the amount of data that is used to
transfer a member's Web page (including the HTML, graphics, text,
sound files, etc.) from the host server to the person viewing the
page. If the contents of the page (audio file) equals 1 Megabyte
(MB), and the page is viewed 100 times in one day, the total
bandwidth would be 100 Megabyte (MB). 1000 Megabytes is equal to 1
Gigabyte.
If you use up
all your Bandwith before the month is over your Audio Message will
not play. If this happens you have several options:
1.
Purchase more Bandwith for your AngelFire website.
2. Set up
2 FREE AngelFire website from the very beginning. Use one to host
the Audio Message that will be on your JMFD Home Page, and the other
to host the Audio Message that will be inserted into your JMFD HTML
Emails. By doing this you sharing the load over 2 websites and your
chances of running out of Bandwith are less likely.
3. If
your Audio Message does stop working because one of the sites runs
out of Bandwith, you can set up another FREE AngelFire website and
upload your Audio Message to the new site. And don't forget to
change the URL in Section 2 on the Website Manager page.
Recording Your Audio Message
1. Click
the START Button on your computer
2. Then
follow this path to get to your Sound Recorder Programs
/ Accessories / Entertainment / Sound Recorder
This should open
a small window for your Sound Recorder.
3.
Operating the Sound Recorder is very simple. Just click the Red Record Button to record your
message. Your message can be a maximum of 60 seconds long. After you
have finished recording click the PLAY button to listen to
your message. If you are happy with the message you are ready to
save the file. If you are not happy with it, click File / New
and start over.
4. To
save your message simply click on the File / Save As. When
you do this a Dialog Box will pop up, and in the Title Bar you
should see the words "Save As". Before you save your sound file
there are a couple of VERY IMPORTANT things you need to do.
a.) In
the Dialog Box you will see a field there titled File name:
that's where you type in the name of your file greeting.wav
or email.wav
b.) Below
the File name field you will see another field titled Save as
type:, that field should have the following in it Sounds
(*.wav), leave that field as it is.
c.)Now this is the MOST IMPORTANT part of this whole process. At
the very bottom of the Dialog Box you will see the word
Format:, and to the right of it you will see a button titled
Change, click on it and another Dialog Box will pop up titled
Sound Selection.
d.) You
should see the word Name there just above a field with a drop
down arrow. Click on the drop down arrow and click on Radio
Quality.
e.) Below
that field you will see the word Format:, and to the right of
that there is another field with a drop down arrow. Click on the
drop down arrow and click on PCM.
f.) At
the bottom of the Sound Selection Dialog Box you will see the word
Attributes:. and you should see this text 22,050 Hz, 8
Bit, Mono 22 KB/s in the field to the right of it.
If that is not what's showing in that field, click the drop down
arrow and select it.
g.) This
is what you should now have in the 3 Sound Selection fields:
h.) If
this is correct, click OK , and the Sound Selection
Dialog Box will close. Now you are ready to save the file to your
Desktop.
5. If the
message is for your JMFD Home Page, save the file to your
Desktop and name it greeting.wav. If the message is for you
JMFD HTML Emails, save the file to your Desk Top and name it
email.wav.
If you do not
follow the above directions to the letter, your sound file will be
too large, and your AngelFire website will shut down after you play
the file a couple of times because you will run out of Bandwith very
quickly.
When you save
your sound file using the above directions your sound file should be
about 650KB to 750KB. If you did it wrong, your file size
will be about 5MB. Try to keep your message around 30 -
40 seconds in length to keep the size of the file smaller. To
check the size of your file, right click on it, then click
Properties.
Remember if your
Sound File stops working, it is because you ran out of
Bandwith. All you need to do is open another FREE AngelFire
website, upload your file to it, and change the address in Section 2
that has the file address. It would even be a good idea to have an
extra AngelFire website set up and loaded with your sound file, in
case your first site runs out of Bandwith. Then all you would have
to do is just change the address in Section 2 that has your file in
it.
That's all there
is to it! Now you are ready to upload it to your AngelFire website.

How
to Set Up an AngelFire Website
1. To
sign up for a FREE AngelFire website click on the link that we have
provided on the Website Manager Page - Section 2. The first
page you go to will have the FREE radio button checked.
Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Continue.
2. This
will take you to Step 1: Membership. On the top of this page
is where you Choose Your Web Site URL (see example below in
blue). You will see a drop down window there with the word
Choose in it. Click on the down arrow and click on the word
pro so that your URL will match
the one we give below.
3. The
field next to this is where you choose your user name to
complete your AngelFire name. To keep things simple use your JMFD
User Name: johnny-o. When you're
setting up a second website to host the Audio Message for your JMFD
HTML Emails just put a number after your User Name. Example:
johnny-o2.
Choose Your Web
Site URL
www.angelfire.com/
/
This
will be your Angelfire
Name.
Example URL: www.angelfire.com/pro/johnny-o Example Angelfire User Name (login
name):
pro/johnny-o
4. When
you have completed the sign up process you will got to Step 2:
Confirmation. On that page there is a link titled, Activate
your account and start building!, click on it.
Uploading an Audio File to AngelFire
1. Once
your AngelFire account is set up and you're logged in, you should
see a grey table (or box) on your screen.
2. The
next thing we need to do is create a new Subdirectory called
audio. To do this look at the bottom of the grey table (box)
and you will see the following:
Create: New File New Subdirectory
File/Subdirectory Name:
Check the radio
button called New Subdirectory,
and type the word audio (all lower case) in the field below
it as shown in the example above. Then click on the Create
Button that's just below the field to create the a new
Subdirectory called audio.
3. As
illustrated below, after you've created a new Subdirectory titled
audio you should see it the field with the words:
4. Left
Click on the word audio to highlight it, then Click the
button just above it titled OPEN. This will open your Audio
Directory, and inside the grey table (box) you should see this line
of text: You are here: /pro/johnny-o/audio
5. Now
you are ready to upload your Audio Message. Just below the grey
table (box) you will see a blank field there with a Browse
button next to it as illustrated below. Click on the Browse
Button then go locate the Audio Message you saved to your
Desktop and double left click on it to place the file path in the
blank field. Once you've done that, click on the Upload
Button to upload your Audio Message.
FILE UPLOAD
Check to overwrite
6. If you
followed these directions to the letter the URL for the Audio
Message that goes on your Home Page should be: http://angelfire.com/pro/johnny-o/greeting.wav
7.
Remember it would be a good idea to set up a second AngelFire
account to host the Audio Message that will be in your JMFD HTML
Emails. If you did this your URL should be: http://angelfire.com/pro/johnny-o2/email.wav Notice the # 2 is after your
user name on the second account.
