What are the recommended settings for recording .MP3 files?

Applicability: SellFolio 4.0 Complete and SellFolio 3.0 versions

Explanation 1

Recording .MP3 files can be rather technical, involving many parameters.  This article provides guidance on how to record audio files that work best with SellFolio.

Solution 1

FOR VOICEOVER/AUDIO NARRATION: We recommend that you save your .MP3 file using the following settings: 24-bit, 22KHz, Mono.

FOR MUSIC: We recommend that you save your .MP3 file using the following settings: 48-bit, 22KHz, Mono.

NOTE: If you are using looping background music, avoid using full songs, which tend to be very large in file size.  These full songs take up a great deal of memory, and some computers may not be able to handle it.  Instead, use small music loops, which load once, occupy very little memory, and tend to sound just as good.  Your looping background music should be no larger than 200K to 500K (0.2 megabytes to 0.5 megabytes) in file size to ensure that your viewers can view your SellFolio project on the Internet.  You can check out SellFolio's MusicPacks, which are extremely affordable, or you can buy looping background music from other vendors, as well.
