How do I use my account page to manage my recordings?

My Recordings is where you manage the audio messages in your LifeOnRecord order.
From this page you can listen, rename titles, reorder tracks, view/edit transcripts, trim & amplify audio,
and download files (individual or consolidated). The order you set here is the order used for downloads and keepsakes.

Use the numbered screenshot below as a map. Each red number is explained underneath.

My Recordings — Help Guide

My Recordings is your private workspace for this order. Here you can listen to each recording, rename and reorder them, view/edit transcripts, and (if you want) trim and adjust volume before downloading or requesting a keepsake.

Most changes save automatically. After you reorder or rename something, wait a few seconds and look for a small message near the top of the page that says Saving… and then Saved before refreshing your browser.

Reference image: Insert the numbered screenshot for this page directly below this line. Then use the guide below to match each number to what it does.


Quick tips (read this first)

  • If something “doesn’t stick” after a refresh: wait until you see Saved before refreshing. Refreshing too quickly can cancel a save.
  • Reordering on phones/tablets: Turn on Reorder Mode, then use the Up/Down buttons or the drag grip on the left.
  • Track numbers always work: You can reorder by typing a new number in the # box, on any device.
  • For Keepsake Speakers: if you trim recordings, leave about 1 second of silence at the beginning and end of each recording.
  • Waveform trimming: works best on a laptop/desktop. If trimming is disabled on your device, you’ll see a message telling you to switch.

What each number means

  1. Playlist Page — This is your public playlist link for this order. You can share it with friends and family (only if the playlist is turned on).
  2. Playlist Page Visibility — Turns your public playlist On or Off. If you want privacy, keep it Off.
  3. Upload instructions — This section is optional. Use it only if you want to add your own audio file(s) to the order.
  4. Recording Title — Optional. Type a title for the upload (example: “Grandma’s message”). If you leave it blank, the title may default to the file name.
  5. Choose File — Select an audio file from your device to upload.
  6. Add Recording — Uploads the selected file. Keep the page open until the upload completes and the new recording appears in the list.
  7. Hide all transcripts — Collapses all transcript panels so the page is easier to scroll.
  8. Generate all transcripts — Creates transcripts for recordings that do not have one yet. This can take a little time, especially for longer recordings.
  9. Export transcripts — Creates a clean transcript “document” for the order so you can print it, save it, or copy it.
  10. Reorder Mode — A “turbo mode” for rearranging tracks, especially on phones. It collapses the rows and makes the reorder controls easy to use.
  11. Go to # — Jump to a specific track number. Type a number and press Go to scroll directly to that recording.
  12. Track # box — The track’s position in your order. To move a recording, type a new number and then click/tap outside the box. Wait for “Saved” before refreshing.
  13. Edit Title — Renames the recording title. Click once to edit, then click again to save. If saving fails, remove unusual symbols and try again.
  14. Audio player — Play the recording and scrub (move) through it. The player may look slightly different depending on your browser/device.
  15. Volume — Adjusts playback volume on your device (it does not change the saved file).
  16. Player menu — More playback options (varies by browser). This is part of the built-in audio player.
  17. Trim & Amplify (scissors) — Opens the waveform editor for this recording (trim start/end, preview the selection, and adjust gain/volume).
  18. Move to Trash (minus) — Moves the recording to Trash. You can restore it later from the Trash section.
  19. Transcript (page icon) — Shows or hides the transcript for this recording. Transcripts load when you open them.
  20. Download (down arrow) — Downloads this one recording to your device.
  21. Move up (up arrow) — Moves this recording up by one spot (helpful on phones/tablets and in Reorder Mode).
  22. Drag grip (three lines) — Drag the recording to a new position. In Reorder Mode you’ll see a clear “drop here” location while dragging.
  23. Move down (down arrow) — Moves this recording down by one spot.
  24. Transcript: Edit — Lets you edit the transcript text for this recording. After editing, use the on-screen Save/Cancel options that appear.
  25. Transcript: Copy — Copies the transcript text so you can paste it into an email, document, or notes.
  26. Gain (dB) slider — Makes the recording louder or quieter when you click Apply. The waveform picture usually stays the same (it is a “normalized” view), but the final audio volume will change.
  27. Waveform area — The visual shape of the audio. Drag across the waveform to choose what you want to keep, then fine-tune using the handles on the left/right edges.
  28. Play — Plays the recording in the editor.
  29. Pause — Pauses playback in the editor.
  30. Preview — Plays only the selected region (the part you plan to keep) so you can confirm it sounds right.
  31. Reset — Clears your current selection and gain changes inside the editor (this does not change the saved file on the server).
  32. Apply — Saves your trim and/or gain changes to the server. This may take a few seconds. Your previous version is kept so you can Undo.
  33. Undo — Switches back to the previous saved version for this recording (a quick “last change” undo). If you want the untouched original, use Restore Original.
  34. Restore Original — Restores the recording back to its original, unedited version (start over). Use this if you trimmed too much or want a clean reset.
  35. Close — Closes the waveform editor without saving anything new. (If you already clicked Apply, those saved changes remain.)
  36. Purchase Add-Ons — Takes you to options and upgrades you can add to this order.
  37. Download Individual Files — Downloads a ZIP of all recordings in the current order sequence.
  38. Download Consolidated File — Creates and downloads one combined MP3 in the current sequence. This can take a moment for longer orders.

Troubleshooting

  • “My reordering doesn’t save” — After you reorder, wait for the page to show Saved before you refresh. If you are on a phone/tablet, keep the page open in the foreground for a few seconds after moving a track.
  • Dragging feels hard to control — Turn on Reorder Mode and use the left-side drag grip. On phones, the Up/Down buttons are often the easiest.
  • Renaming doesn’t save — Try saving again with simpler text (avoid unusual symbols). Then wait for Saved before refreshing.
  • Trim button doesn’t open — If you are on a phone/tablet, trimming may be disabled. Switch to a laptop/desktop and try again.

If you still need help, please email support with your order number and a short description of what you tried (example: “moved Track 5 to Track 2, waited 10 seconds, refreshed”). We can quickly confirm what saved and help you get the exact sequence you want.
