I LOVE this program. I used it for all my audio recording from old
cassette tapes to even video audio! I record stuff on my digital
recorder and easily transfer it to my PC flawlessly! I still don't
know why it free!!
Free Sound Recorder Screenshots
We took only few screenshots to give you an idea of how it looks like. Take the Free Sound Recorder Feature Tour to learn more.
Free Sound Recorder the idea solution to:
Capture any sound played by a computer (including live Internet broadcasts).
Record sound coming through a microphone or played by an external device
such as a tape player, LP player, portable music player, etc.
Record Internet broadcasts on a user-defined schedule much like a conventional
VCR.

Selecting the desired recording quality
Before you start recording, you have to select the desired sound quality
of the recording in the Free Sound Recorder Settings window.
The easiest way of choosing a level of compression for your recording
files is to use the Preset Quality slider.
Voice Active System Settings
If signal is below the Attack Level for more than Attack Time, beginning
of that spot in the audio will be considered beginning of silence.
If signal is above the Release Level for more than Release Time, beginning
of that spot in the audio will be considered end of silence.
Silence Definition
For very quiet high quality audio, the Attack Level and Release Level
value will be lower (like -60dB). For noisier audio, the value may be
much higher (like -30dB).
If audio is above this given threshold for more than the number of milliseconds
given, audio will be considered valid, and not silence. Use higher values
for Release Time to ignore short periods of audio (like clicks, static,
or other noise). If this value is too high however (above 200ms), short
words may be skipped.
Automatic Gain Control
Sound cards use AGC (Automatic Gain Control) to improve recordings.
The following properties allow to set parameters of AGC: High Level,
Low Level, Attack Time.
The volume will be decreased if the level is more then High Level. And
the volume will be increased if the level is less then Low Level. The
rate of the volume changing is equal to (20db / Attack Time).
Enjoy sound recording easy as making a cup of coffee.
