Audio Comparison Lite

外掛說明

Click here for a live demo

This plugin is used to present audio files, typically two versions of the same audio (for instance, an unmixed, raw version and the final mixed version of a song), in a time synchronized manner: by switching seamlessly between files when the user presses the respective button. (And since version 3 you can compare up to three files in the full version!)

Finally a direct A/B comparison is possible on your website! You can showcase as many files on one page as you like, completely independent from each other.

All this with a simple shortcode!

Control the site wide design and behaviour from central settings, but each Audio Comparison Lite instance can be configured independently! And with the help of special CSS classes you can easily adjust to your own visual style.

All about the shortcode usage and the CSS classes is in the Audio Comparison Lite settings, right where you need it.

Full Version

If you want

  • to avoid playing two sounds at the same time, and
  • to get rid of the play button and/or the accompanying text output,
  • automatic styling of your buttons without manual CSS work including themes,
  • to compare THREE files time-synchronized,
  • or just use Audio Comparison as a cool one button Audio Player

consider buying the full version. For the price of two beers (discounted license) you get all of the above and more, and perpetual licenses are also available!

Watch it in action here.

And you can try it out for free!

安裝方式

If not installing directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory:

  1. Download and unzip to your wp-content/plugins directory
  2. Alternatively, just upload the zip file via the WordPress plugins UI

After uploading, do the following:

  1. Activate the plugin via WordPress Admin
  2. Check and change Audio Comparison Lite’s setting page
  3. Include the shortcode [audiocomparisonlite] on your page or post (if using Blocks, use the Shortcode or HTML block).

The minimal shortcode looks like this:

[audiocomparisonlite 
 file_a="PATH/TO/A.MP3" 
 file_b="PATH/TO/B.MP3"]

Replace PATH/TO/A.MP3 and PATH/TO/B.MP3 with your own files. We recommend WAV or MP3.

Central settings, more shortcode options, and CSS guidelines can be found in the settings.

If there are multiple instances of Audio Comparison Lite on the same page, they all act independently. If you want automatic interaction (i.e. stop if another instance starts playing) and more styling options (get rid of the Play/Stop button for instance), then the full version at https://audiocomparison.kaedinger.de/ is for you.

Yes, finally a plugin that does what it should do, A/B comparison of two audiofiles, flawlessly in a good quality. You should not hesitate to buy the pro-version.

I've been looking for so long for a plugin that could do audio A/B comparison, in a seemless way... and finally it's here.It really works extremely well and you can mess up with the styling in so many parameters.It's a must have for any sound engineer who wants to share the "before and after" of his work with clients, in a very professional way.The customer help service is absolutely quick, efficient and very friendly.For all that, I must say that I recommend it 100%.

you know as an audio studio you want to show what you can do easily. this plugin does exactly that. it plays audio files time synchronized side-by-side. maybe a rewind button would be cool (hey designer!), but i actually like that it has no time bar. definitely buying the full version, just to support the designer
