Adding Sounds and Looping


To add Midi sound:  The most popular Midi player seems to be Crescendo.  To download it, you can get it here at
http://www.liveupdate.com
For Crescendo and Crescendo PLUS version 2.3 or greater and Navigator 3.0  This inserted in your HTML will work
in Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer:

                        OBJECT ID=Crescendo
                             WIDTH=200 Height=55>
                             <embed TYPE="music/crescendo" param NAME="Song" VALUE="yourmidifile.mid"
                             SONG="yourmidfile.mid"
                             PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.liveupdate.com/dl.html" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=55>
                             </object>
 

For Microsoft Internet Explorer:
<BGSOUND> is a tag specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer.  In your HTML editor, just add:

           <BGSOUND SRC="yourwav.wav">

Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer supports .AU, .WAV, and .MID sound files.  Remember, only
Microsoft Explorer users will hear your sounds with this method, BGSOUND.

For Front Page:
Goto Format on the toolbar and click on Background.  A box will open up and click on General.
Down the middle of the page you will see Background sound.  Click on Browse to locate your sound file.  Below that
you will see Loop.  Either enter the number of times you wish the sound to loop or leave the box checked on Forever
to loop indefinately.

For Netscape:
<embed src> is a tag specific to Netscape.
In your html editor, you need to add this html in order for a wav or sound to play.  Or you can just add html tags.


<embed src="yourwav.wav" autostart="true" loop="2" controls="smallconsole" width="50" height="15">

</embed>

In Netscape Composer, to add html tags, you goto Insert on the toolbar and click on HTML Tag.  A window will open up
like this, and this is where you would enter your first tag of :
<embed src="yourwav.wav" autostart="true" loop="2" controls="smallconsole" width="50" height="15">
 


 

Goto Insert again and enter the second HTML Tag of :

</embed>

The tags will look something like this 

You cannot add the second closing tag with the first tag.  It will give you and error.   Premature close of tag.
If you want to view what is inside of a HTML Tag, just right click on the tag, and the html window will open.  You
can also change anything, like the name of the wav, looping, size of the console etc...
embed src - is where you enter the name of the wav you want to play.
autostart - is true if you want the wav to start automatically.  False if you want the person to start the wav in your page.
loop - is where you enter how many times you want the wav to play.  If you want it to loop indefinitely, loop="true"
controls - is where you add the size of the console you would like to appear on your page.  I use the smallest.

In order to listen to the wav or sound in your browser, you need to upload your HTML page and the wav or
sound to your server.  To listen to the wav or sound before you upload it, in Netscape, goto your toolbar,
click on Edit to preferences.  Once preferences is open, click on Navigator and than on Applications.
Once Applications is open you need to create a New Type for Wav.  In Applicatin to use:  find your wav player.
Example:



 

Combining Wavs


To combine wavs togeather and creat your own sound, just use a wav editor like GoldWave or Cool Edit.  Just whatever
player you have that can play wav's and can edit them.  There are so many.  You can even use the Sound Recorder that
comes with windows.  You will find this in your Windows directory, Sndrec32.exe.  You can overlap sounds, insert sounds
at the end, beginning or middle, increase or decrease the volume.  Anything you want to do!  :)   You can copy parts of a
wav and save it to a new file, etc......


Good luck, and if I can help with anything, just E-mail me and I will see if I can.  :)
