Thanks!
I'm just going to make you notice a small problem: I tried to upload Glorious Morning from Waterflame, and then opened a new page and gone rummaging through some websites. When I came back, the download time counter had reset to 1. It continued doing this almost every time I switched from the page, and sometimes shown me an "server cannot be reached" error.
I'm using Chrome, and my internet connection is fine.
What do you mean by download time counter? Do you mean the upload progress indicator?
Neat idea. Thanks for creating and sharing this.
Glad you like it. :)
Awesome, man. I was getting tired of having to upload sound bips to tinypic. You're a gentleman, and a scholar.
Happy to know you have a use for it! Thanks for the compliments.
Wow, this is great. Definitely will be using this
Very happy to hear so many people have a use for it! :)
Wow And the day has been saved thanks to Mich. Take that Superman!
Cheers! :)
Bookmarked with the force of a thousand suns.
Woo!
I can't wait to use it to share dick jokes with sessile.
Like this thing an as yet unidentified person has uploaded? http://instaud.io/3
Dude... that was better than any dick joke I could have come up with...
It's pretty intense.
Aha. So youre the mastermind behind this. I use this all the time. Literally, every time I start one of my dozens of WIPs to share with my friends/other producers, it goes there. Great great site :D
Glad it's useful! :-)
This is really cool. How did you manage it?
It would be much more useful if you could easily find the authors of tracks, but I like the interface. Random audio produces some nice surprises. :)
Thanks! Web development is a long-time hobby turned into a career, so I had the necessary experience to build something like this.
If you're interested in nerdy details: It is built using the Ruby on Rails framework, uses the gem "CarrierWave" to deal with uploads, and archives uploads older than a month to Amazon's S3 file hosting service.
I have plans for introducing public profiles so you can browse through someone's public uploads on there (if they set it up), but I need to find some time for it next to other unrelated projects.
Random audio is fun but can be dangerous for your ears. :p
Nice! Probably wouldn't hurt to run a little ad revenue on the side at some point. $3 a month isn't much but over a course of years it'd probably help to expand more if you had some $$ coming in. Never know. You might get huge. :)
It's received slow but steady growth since its inception; people seem to be telling their friends. I do it all on the side of my job, so there's little time for it in my life presently.
If it keeps growing and costs too much to reasonably pay out of my own pocket, I'll look into setting up an actual business for it and making it pay for itself though. :)
Didn't know you made the site. I use it on a regalur basis and I love the lay-out. It is very usefull indeed. Thanks!
Seems like it could be hard to grow since I see a lot of producers use clyp.it or any other audio sharing site than instaud.io. Anyways keep it up!
Glad it's useful to you. :)
I haven't spent any money advertising it, so it's only growing by word of mouth. It has grown a lot over the past two years despite that though. :)
Thanks!
I had no idea you were the genius behind Instaudio, but many thanks! It is truly exceptional audio resource.
I don't think there's anything particularly genius about it, but thank you! :)
Love the site, didn't realise the person who made it was a member of this forum. Well done dude!
Thanks! :)
This was an amazing site that I used a lot. It's a shame that you have to shut it down, but I understand the situation. Thanks for all these years of making mine and many other's lives easier!
Thanks for the kind words Lucid <3

Neat!
