Switching the audio source
Slices can have multiple audio sources — from basic synthetic playback to synced videos to MP3 backing tracks. People can get quite creative, and there’s no limit on the number of recordings a single slice can have!
If a slice has at least two audio sources, you’ll see an interface for switching between them:
If you’re on a smaller screen such as a tablet, this interface will be slightly smaller:
And if you’re on a very small screen such as a smartphone, this interface will be even smaller (the icon will differ depending on whether synth vs. video vs. audio is currently selected):
If a slice has more than two audio sources, click the left button to view all the available options:
Switching via the settings menu
You can also switch audio sources via the settings menu. Open the settings menu by clicking the icon at lower right, then look for the Instruments section. Click “Recording” or “Synth” to switch the audio source:
What’s Synth?
That’s how you activate synthetic playback. See here for more details.
I don’t see a way to switch audio sources. Why not?
We only show the menu if the slice has at least two options. If you’ve just created a slice and haven’t uploaded a recording yet, then only synthetic playback will be available and you won’t see this menu.
I’m creating a slice and want to add multiple recordings. How do I do this?
Can Soundslice save the recording I’ve chosen to practice with?
Yes! If you’re logged in and have a paid Soundslice account, we’ll automatically save the currently selected recording so your practice environment will be preserved next time you view that slice.
