Connect a suitable input
A USB microphone usually appears as a Windows capture device. A microphone or instrument that needs an interface must first be connected through suitable hardware and drivers.
Select the relevant input on Free Sound Recorder’s recording bar. Select other available devices only when you want to capture them in the same take.
Check the loudest section
Play or sing a representative loud part. Begin around 100% gain and listen to a short recording. Reduce an overloaded input rather than trying to repair distortion afterwards.
The available endpoints and their channels depend on the Windows driver. This is not a claim of arbitrary ASIO or multichannel studio-interface support.
Record and keep an editable session
Record the performance and press Stop. Each selected source becomes its own editable track. Check the balance and export the mix as MP3, WAV or FLAC.
Save an .amss session when you want to return to the source tracks for another edit.
