Features
Everything SoundRelay does
Four highlights built around Steam and around finding the right clip fast, with a full soundboard underneath. Every picture on this page is a screenshot of the app. Click one to enlarge it.
01 · STEAM WORKSHOP
Get and share clips without leaving the app
- Upload and download clips straight from the Workshop, inside the app.
- Subscribe to a clip and it is downloaded and added to your library with its picture and tags.
- Publish a clip with a picture and tags.
- Sort the Workshop by rating, popularity or date, and filter it by tag.
BUILT-IN EDITOR
Fix a clip without opening another program
- Crop a clip to the part you want, or cut a section out of it.
- Raise or lower its volume.
- Reverse it, or speed it up and slow it down (pitch changes with speed).
- Undo and redo every step.
- Save over the original or as a new clip.
PUBLISHING
Publish a clip in one dialog
Give the clip a title and a short description, pick its tags, choose the audio file and a cover picture, and press Publish Sound Clip. It appears on the Workshop for every SoundRelay user, on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck alike.
02 · STEAM CLOUD
Your sound files follow you
Your sound files are synced through Steam Cloud. Reinstall your system or move to another computer and your clips come back.
The files are the same on every system, so the clips you added on a Windows PC are the clips you get on a Linux PC or a Steam Deck.
03 · PICTURE ICONS
Find a clip by sight
Give any clip its own picture, so you find it by sight in a long list. Workshop clips come with the picture their author chose.
The selected clip shows its picture large, with its tags, waveform, playback destination, hotkey and volume.
04 · TAGS
27 built-in tags that filter both ways
Label clips with tags from a built-in list of 27 (Meme, Music, Hype, Reaction and more). Click a tag to show only clips that have it, click again to hide clips that have it. The same tags filter the Workshop.
In the screenshot, Funny is switched on and Music is switched off, so the list shows funny clips that are not music.
Everything else
A full soundboard underneath
Global hotkeys
Give a clip a key or a key combination and trigger it while another window has focus. A separate hotkey stops playback, and hotkeys can start and stop a recording or run the editor's tools.
A key you assign as a hotkey is used by SoundRelay while the app is running, so pick keys your games do not need.
Presets
Group clips into presets. Each preset has its own hotkeys, so the same keys can do different things in different games. Pick a preset from the list at the top and the library shows only its clips.
Recorder
Record your microphone, the sound your speakers are playing, or both, and add the recording to your library. Hotkeys can start and stop a recording, so you never have to leave the game.
Microphone, speakers or both
Choose for each clip whether it plays to your microphone, your speakers, or both. Right-click a clip to play it, edit it, mark it as a favorite, set its hotkey, make it repeat, change its picture or export it.
One clip plays at a time. Starting a clip stops the one that was playing. A clip can be set to repeat.
Looks and behaviour
Dark and light themes, an accent color, adjustable text size, minimize to tray, and start with your computer. Gilbert the cat can be hidden if you want the space.
Your own files
Add MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, M4A and WebM files by drag and drop or from a file dialog. Export any clip back to a file. The same files work on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck.
One library, every system
Your sound files work on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck
A sound file is the same file everywhere. A clip you add on Windows plays on Linux and on the Steam Deck with nothing to convert, and the other way round. Steam Cloud carries your sound files between your computers, and a Workshop clip is the same item on every system.
MP3WAVOGGFLACM4AWebM
Your clips. Your voice. One microphone.
SoundRelay is on Steam for Windows, Linux and Steam Deck. $4.99, bought once.
