Add multiple sounds

Add multiple sounds

There are multiple ways to add sounds to a soundboard. This page describes the way to add multiple sounds at once. This is only possible when using files as a source for the added sounds and doesn’t work with URLs or recordings made in the app.

If you want to add just a single sound or use a URL or a recording made in the app as the source for your sounds, have a look at this page.

Open a soundboard

To add sounds, you first need to open a soundboard by tapping its card from the start screen of the app.

Select the files to import

With the file picker open, tap and hold the first file you want to import.

The app should support all formats listed here. This includes video files. However, due to the way the app is intended to work, you will only get audio playback without seeing the video itself.

Import the files

Tap the “Select” button in the top-right corner to add the files to your soundboard.

You won’t be able to customize any options before the sounds are added, like their color, thumbnail, or fade options. However, you can of course do this after the sounds have been added.

You can use the regular way of editing the sounds as well as the app's bulk editing feature.

When adding multiple sounds at once, the app will use the names of your files as the names for the created sounds.
