Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Audio Editor & Recorder

Yes, using the shortcode [audio-editor].

Yes, you can upload and edit existing audio files.

Audios are saved as a custom post type and in the WordPress Media Library.

Yes, the free version is limited to 5 minutes per recording. Shortcodes - Frontend Editor: [audio-editor] (Editor page is automatically created, or insert it anywhere you want) - Customize your editor with the parameters: mini: transform the editor into a mini recorder for simple usage ([audio-editor mini="true"]) color: change icons color (e.g.: color="red") button-text: change the Submit button label (e.g.: button-text="Send file") hide-record: set to 1 to hide the record button hide-upload: set to 1 to hide the upload button hide-play: set to 1 to hide the play button hide-waveform: set to 1 to hide the waveform area hide-draft-btn: set to 1 to hide the Save as Draft button hide-submit-btn: set to 1 to hide the Submit button For example, a mini recorder with only play and send button: [audio-editor mini="true" hide-upload="1" button-text="SEND" color="#336699"] - Frontend audios private author list: [audio-my-list] (My audios page is automatically created) - Frontend audios public list: [audio-editor-list] (Insert anywhere you want) IMPORTANT The first time you record, you must allow your website to access the microphone when your browser prompts you. After creating from the frontend editor, you are redirected to the audio list page and you can re-edit audios from there. Frontend audio creation and edition are restricted to logged-in users. Guest access is available in Audio Editor Pro. The Audio Editor settings page is located under Settings → Audio Editor in your WordPress dashboard. Recording and total audio duration are limited to 5 minutes. Upgrade to Pro to remove this limit. Upgrade to Pro Audio Editor Pro adds: - Multi-track mixing (up to 4 tracks: volume, mute, solo, automatic mixdown) - Sound Library pads: preload jingles and music beds for radio-style mixing - Audio effects: fade in/out, silence, normalize - Live waveform while recording - No recording or duration limit (5 min in free version) - Guest / logged-out user audio submission - 7 visual templates + full color customization (toolbar, buttons, waveform, form) - Shortcode design attributes: template, toolbar-bg, icon-color, btn-radius, form-bg, and 20+ more - [user-audio-edit] shortcode to re-edit existing audio posts - Download button for end users - Live admin preview panel

Version 3 introduces a free Lite edition alongside the Pro version. If you used v2.x, here is what changed:

- Recording limit increased from 1 minute to 5 minutes - Improved audio editor UI with modern design - More reliable upload and better mobile support - New toolbar buttons: Re-select, Reload

- [user-audio-edit] shortcode — re-edit existing audio posts from the frontend - Guest / logged-out user audio submission - MP3 download button for end users - Redirect URL shortcode attribute after submission - Full color and design customization (templates, toolbar-bg, btn-radius, form-bg, etc.) We understand this is a significant change for long-time users. These features now fund continued development and support. If you relied on them, Audio Editor Pro restores all v2.x capabilities and more. If you were using a legacy v2.x version, you can reset your settings to defaults via Settings → Audio Editor → Maintenance tab.
