Orders & Quotes

Why don’t my files sound like the samples on your site?
Certain audio formats are low-bandwidth, which is required for all telephone systems. We agree that this format can sound less than great when played through normal speakers but is perfectly acceptable when played over a telephone line.

This is explained here:

Can we use our own music for an On Hold production?
Yes, but only if you have obtained a license for use.
The very beginning of my recording sounds cut off. Why?
This is likely caused by your media player.
We inspect the head and tail of every file before delivery.

Rest assured that the file is intact.

You can try a different media player, but once you upload the file to your system, you will hear that it is fine.

2. Sample rate: (i.e., 8kHz, 11kHz)
3. Codec: (i.e., Ulaw, PCM)
4. Extension: (i.e., .wav, .mp3)

MP3, 44kHz, 128 kbps is a fast streaming format that still sounds pretty good. With bit rates lower than 128kbps, the sound quality starts to deteriorate.
