[LoveAngeL Lyre]

Hello alix and welcome to SL Forums. You can upload sounds with the extension .wav and must have full permissions to be included in a gesture.

Not only must they be wav files, but they also have to be 16-bit and 10 sec long or less.

Sounds

1. Go to Build > Upload > Sound (L$10).
2. Choose a WAV file to upload. Valid files are any .WAV file in standard PCM format, 16-bit/44.1kHz/mono or stereo (which will be converted to mono), exactly 10 seconds or less in length. Other formats which don't work include MP3s or WAVs in 8-bit, 22.05 kHz, or any other frequency. You can convert sounds into the proper format using an audio editor like the free Audacity, or a specialized app like r8brain for Windows.
