Getting Started with Soundtrap for Education: Student Guide
Soundtrap for Education provides in-course engagement and assessment opportunities for podcast-style audio content.
Providing a 'walled garden' experience, Soundtrap offers a secure space for confidentiality and safe experimentation while still providing full access to the recording and editing features (such as muti-tracking, post-production and a library of professional-quality presets) of their professional industry product. It also assignment assignment tools, class rosters and project collaboration.
Using Soundtrap in Your Module
Soundtrap is currently undergoing a limited pilot for specific pre-agreed modules. Your instructor will provide further information on accessing the system once your account has been created.
Access will be limited based on the duration of your module during this pilot, and we'd recommend you export and save any work you would like kept after this period. No work is lost if an account is closed; if your account has already been limited and you require temporary access to save your work, please reach out to us via the IT Service Desk.

Changing your Soundtrap Password
Soundtrap is not integrated with the university's Single Sign-On system. We recommend the first thing to do once logged in for the first time is to change your password.
Open the navigation menu by clicking the three-dot icon by your name, then select settings. A new page will open, with options to change your password as well as messaging and notification settings. Once you've create a unique password (not your Leeds login password), click save review your other settings options and click save again.
