Review and Giveaway: Soundwave Art

A picture can be worth a thousand words, even if it’s a picture of only seven words. At Soundwave Art, you get to capture the simplest essence of any sound. You can turn your words, a heartbeat, the sound of laughter; you name it - into a beautiful piece of art to treasure forever.

The hardest part when I was ordering one of these gems of my own, was decided what to say! I had many ideas in my head. How about recite part of my wedding vows? Or maybe record the chorus of my daughter’s favorite Disney song. At the time, we had recently discovered that baby number two was on the way so we collectively decided that it would be nursery décor, followed by the decision that it should be a message from soon to be big sister, my daughter Hailey. After a little more deliberation, the final verdict was her excitedly exclaiming that she was going to be a big sister! 

The second most difficult part was the recording. This is not to point anything bad on the company’s part. First I had some microphone issues and it wasn’t properly recording. I will note that they created a special link for me so that I was taken straight to the ordering, so there could have been a malfunction that ‘normal’ customers should never run into.  

Then, getting a four-year old to start when I point to her (So it didn’t pick up me saying ‘go’) was beyond challenging. I would easily say we did about 5 takes before submitting. Thankfully there was a rerecord button, and we weren’t stuck with the first one we tried. I remember thinking; I wish I could play this back; to make sure it got it.

Or, that I could see a visual of what the soundwave looks like using that phrase (the picture you see is just a sample to choose colors.) 

On this page, I also got to choose what color the background of canvas, as well as the soundwave itself were going to be. It makes it completely customizable! 

Unfortunately, a day or so later I heard back that my order came through, however it appeared my microphone was turned down somehow, despite my checking it. As annoying as that was, Mike sent me a link to a ‘rerecord’ page. I just had to put in my order number he gave me to have all other info stay the same. I just had to rerecord the message. My daughter was quite happy to get to do it again!

This time things went much smoother! Also, the order page looked different.

This time, while recording, the soundwave itself was showing up, which told me that sound was going through, and also gave me an idea it would look like (the one you are seeing in the picture was a test, and not my actual message) 

Additionally, I could actually audibly ‘play back’ to make sure it is what it is supposed to say. When I told him of this, he said the first order page should have look like that as well, and may have been something I missed out on due to the special page they created for this review. 

The last thing I asked before submitting my order was about a caption for the soundwave. I noticed on their Facebook that a customer asked if this was possible and they said it was. 

He told me that although it isn’t a usual practice, and not an option listed on their website, he is happy to do so if a customer asks it of them. He just asked that I type it out exactly as I would like it displayed on the canvas. 

It took about a week for it to ship out to me, and another three days to arrive. I was very happy with how fast it all went! It arrived in a large cardboard canvas shaped box, and was wrapped in padding. The canvas wasn’t at all damaged, and looked even better than I expected. 

We chose a vibrant red and white to match the Dr. Seuss themed nursery we will be creating. I think it is going to look great with the rest of the décor!

Includes a nice strong bracket to hold study on a nail or screw.

I absolutely love this concept, and the final product. Furthermore, they had some of the best customer service from start to finish! I think this makes for wonderful home décor, conversation pieces, and most of all gifts! I have many more in mind I will be ordering over time!

I'm very excited to be able to share this unique project with one of our readers as well - Soundwave Art has agreed to let us give away a 12" x 18" canvas worth 129.00.  This giveaway is open to readers in the US & Canada only, ends at midnight EDT on Monday, April 21st, and the winner will be provided with a password to use the system as explained above to create their own unique  Soundwave Art artwork.  Good luck to you all!
