Set Up Your Soundboard in 5 Minutes

Guide · ~3 min read

Going live today and need a soundboard that just works? With Random Jingle, you're ready in five short steps — no account required, no app store install.

Step 1: Upload Your Audio Files

Open Random Jingle in your browser and upload your first MP3 or WAV files. It works straight through the file dialog — your sounds stay stored locally on your device, no account needed.

Step 2: Create Categories

Before things get messy: set up categories for your sounds, like "Reactions," "Transitions," or "Fails." Each category gets its own color, so you can tell them apart at a glance — handy when things need to move fast during a stream.

Step 3: Trim for the Perfect Moment

Not every audio file is usable from start to finish. In the trim editor, you see the waveform of your sound and can set the exact start and end point — so unnecessary silence at the beginning or end disappears, and your jingle lands exactly where it should.

Step 4: Install It as an App

So you don't have to open a browser every time, install Random Jingle as an app on your device. That's free, right through the browser, no app store needed — and after that, your board even works with no internet connection at all.

Step 5: Assign Hotkeys

For your most important sounds, a fixed hotkey is worth it. Assign a number key to your favorite jingle, and you can trigger it instantly without hunting for it with your mouse — ideal when both your hands are busy with a controller or keyboard mid-stream.

Done! In five short steps, you've got a personal soundboard tailored exactly to your needs — usable locally, always expandable, and completely free.
