Just need to figure out how to record a clip now.

I’m somewhat bemused to discover I already had a SoundCloud account, although I have no recollection of opening an account there and I had no idea what my password was so I had to change that. But now I’m stumped. I have NO idea how to record anything to upload there. I don’t own a smartphone or any other mobile device that might have a microphone and a way to record stuff. 
@brendahalliwell and @shirleysmith are you using Windows on a PC? If so there should be a built in sound recorder function in the start menu. That’s what I use. I record on that, it saves to a folder in ‘documents’ then in Soundcloud I upload it and can copy the link as in Aran’s post above into the forum.
Hope that helps.

I am using Windows on a PC, but I don’t see a sound recorder function anywhere. Although, to be honest, I have no idea what that would look like, so there might be one that I’m just not seeing.
Hi, stupid question alert:)
So I’ve made an account and have the app on my phone, but google says you can no longer record/upload on the app and has to be through a desktop. I only have an iPad at the moment (backpacking leaves little room for computer!) which I can at least get through to the upload page. The only option I have is ‘choose a file to upload’ then it only lets me pick from photo or video. So question is, will uploading just a video of me talking instead of a sound clip work? Or am I missing something else totally obvious?
The only workaround I can think of would be using an app. I’m not sure if you are on the 6MWS course but people have posted their iOS workaround for uploading sound clips on there. I use AudioCopy then upload to my YouTube channel. As AudioCopy won’t upload to Soundcloud for some reason for me.

Shirley, do you know what version of Windows you’re on? It might be worth you looking for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_Recorder_(Windows) - or, if not, it might be a good idea for you to download Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
That sounds pretty irritating for you - sorry! Yes, video will work fine - the only reason I don’t nudge in that direction from the start is that most people find it scarier - but in the long term, video is a better medium to get used to, I’d say…

There is a good explanation in the Slack group on the way a few people got recordings from iOS platforms on to Soundcloud. I’ve posted my way on Slack as well in case it helps anyone.

I installed a free app called Voice Record Pro on my iPad Mini last year. It makes very clear, good quality voice recordings. I’ve just tested it, and it has an option to save the file to SoundCloud. You need to set up a SoundCloud account first, but then it works a treat. I presume it would work for iPhones as well.

Finally figured it out! I hate Windows 10, everything is either hidden in weird places, or named in ways I’m not expecting.

Well done - I share your pain at the move to Windows 10 - I lost a bunch of stuff the first time and had to un-upgrade and then try again later… 
Un-upgrading wasn’t an option for me. I bought a new laptop as I was afraid the old one (Windows Vista) would soon die…and it came with Windows 10 already installed. Vista is so much easier to use!

Hello Siaron. I recorded on my iPhone, plugged my phone into my laptop and dragged the file into my soundcloud. For some reason there is no record button on the new version of SoundCloud. I guess I forgot to then put it into the forum.

I don’t use Soundcloud for recording, really just as a way of getting the sound file from my computer to the forum! If a file is stored in Soundcloud, you just need to highlight and copy the ‘URL’ and then post that as a reply to get your recorded message into this forum.
Does that make sense?

I think I’m having a bad day. I’ve installed Soundcloud on my iPhone, but there is nowhere on screen to make a recording etc. I’ve got a Home/flash/search and profile icon at the bottom. But all I see on the Home page is “Featured”, “First on SoundCloud” and a lot of other stuff that I’m not interested in.

The Welsh is fine well wonderful. Bendigedig. Up to challenge 16 now. BUT I need a 5 day intensive on Say something in software! On iPhone 6 installed soundcloud when first mentioned some weeks ago but no sign of any of the features mentioned in your guide, Aran, so can’t join in the fun of uploading and sharing my London Welsh accent 5 minute thing. I have tried to explore several times. Also following forum threads has not helped. Also confused by Thursdays Hot Seat feedback phenomenon. … when was following on YouTube on laptop and suddenly found myself in a hot seat through Google groups on my phone was it ? but it seemed my emergence on the scene caused feedback because I had YouTube on to follow the conversation. So my last question is how do you both follow the group conversation and then jump in without causing feedback especially if you only use 1 device. Helpich fi os gwelluchan dda
