Record audio on Windows 10 and Windows 11

Choose the sound first. A playback device records PC audio; a microphone input records your voice. Free Sound Recorder can capture selected sources together.

Choose one or more devices

For system audio, select the playback device used by your video, music or call. For your voice, select a microphone. Check several available devices when you need more than one source in the same take.

The current desktop release supports64-bit Windows 10 build 19041 or later and Windows 11. Its installer checks for the Microsoft WebView2 runtime.

Record, pause and stop

Check input levels and make a short test. Use Record to start, Pause and Resume for a break, and Stop to load the recorded sources into the multitrack editor.

Check each track independently, then listen to the combination. A loopback source records its output device, not a selected application process.

Save the right result

Export MP3, WAV or FLAC for one mixed file. Save an .amss session to retain separate editable tracks. For a short microphone-only WAV, the online voice recorder is another option.
