In the world of music production and professional audio work, explaining what changes after a mix is not always easy, but presenting a sound correctly is just as important as creating it.
BASE315 Audio Player, developed by the web agency BASE315, was created with this goal in mind: to offer an advanced and flexible tool for comparing two versions of the same audio track, allowing you to clearly hear the before and after of a professional and effective edit.
The WordPress Plugin for Comparing Audio Tracks
The plugin’s main feature is the synchronised comparison between two tracks. Each audio player allows you to:
- Listen to the original track, the unmixed file;
- Listen to the reworked track, the mixed version.
The plugin maintains synchronisation during playback, allowing you to accurately perceive differences in sound definition, balance between instruments, spatiality and overall clarity of the mix. This feature makes it a valuable tool for those who want to demonstrate the value of mixing in concrete terms.
A Tool for Professionals and Enthusiasts
BASE315 Audio Player is ideal for:
- Music producers;
- Recording studios;
- Sound designers;
- Sound engineers;
- Anyone who wants to clearly show the before and after of a track.
This is not a generic player, but a professional audio communication tool, designed to transform listening into concrete and immediate proof of the work done.
Advanced Management from the Back-end
From the administrative side of the WordPress site, the plugin provides a dedicated section called ‘Audio Players’, where you can:
- Use pre-configured players;
- Create new custom players;
- Upload audio tracks and preview images;
- Manage titles and additional information.
Once the configuration is complete, the system automatically generates a shortcode, making the plugin extremely flexible and integrable into any web project.
Thanks to shortcodes, BASE315 Audio Player easily adapts to portfolio websites, landing pages, audio project pages, or case studies. Each player allows you to instantly and synchronously compare two versions of a track, accurately showing the differences between the original and mixed versions.
Using the Plugin in a Real-World Context
BASE315 Audio Player has been implemented and is used operationally within the Kikkiriki Studio website as a tool for comparing audio tracks before and after mixing.
The plugin is integrated into the actual song presentation flow, allowing you to listen to the original and reworked versions in synchronisation, so that the differences between the two are immediately noticeable.

The interface allows users to manage or create new audio players, which can then be used on the public website.
Once all the necessary information has been entered (e.g. title, audio tracks, etc.), and once the new player has been saved and published, a shortcode associated with that player will be automatically generated. This shortcode can be copied and pasted into any page, article or widget on the site to display the audio player.
How the audio player appears: original track vs mixed track
The following images show how the audio player appears on the website: two tracks side by side, each with its own preview image, designed to accompany listening and visually support comparison. This configuration allows us to communicate the work done on the sound clearly and transparently, without resorting to complex technical explanations.

The plugin maintains synchronisation during playback, so that differences in sound definition, balance between instruments, spatiality and overall cleanliness of the mix can be accurately perceived. This feature makes comparison immediate, accurate and irreplaceable for those who work seriously with audio.
In an industry where explaining the differences between a raw track and a processed track can be complex, traditional tools are not enough: BASE315 Audio Player finally allows you to clearly show the real value of your work.
