Soundwave Information

Soundwave Files

  • Keep it short: Aim for a recording under 10 seconds, especially to ensure the details are visible. If your recording is longer - no problem, we can isolate only the audio you want so that it fits nicely on your keepsake.
  • Speak clearly: Speak directly into the microphone, and consider leaving a brief pause between words so the waveform can "level out" between sounds.
  • Minimize background noise: Record in a quiet environment to avoid interference.
  • Position the microphone: For best results, keep the microphone close to you while you are speaking.

How to Record
