Audio at this site is in the following formats: We are also looking at providing some audio in Quicktime and MP3. But don't hold your breath. |
Note that all our audio material has been recorded direct to digital and is at 48k f/s in its original form. In preparation for real audio encoding, sounds have been converted to 22k sampling rate. And where the source was in stereo, it has generally been converted into a mono file. The sounds have been encoded for best results over 28.8 Kbps modems. |
To download the relevant playback engine click on the logos at the top of the page and you will link to the appropriate site. You then need to set up your browser to use the Real Audio player (as a helper application) with files suffixed .ra and .ram. If you want to know more about including Real Audio on your own site we can recommend the tutorial pages provided by Babylon 6's Beginners Guide to Real Audio. |
REAL AUDIO - how playback works...
When you click on the sound links, your browser is directed to the relevant audio file. Your browser should automatically load the Real Audio playback software (not the plugin) and begin to download the file. The Real Audio control panel will appear on your desktop and, once enough of the file has downloaded, it should begin to play automatically; you can use the controls to pause and continue during playback or to play the file again (until the control panel is no longer the active window). The audio file will be cached on your hard disc until you quit the playback software.
