There are several special programs that allow you to record sounds, voice or music through a microphone to your computer. Which one is better to choose and what is the advantage of this or that recording device?
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest option available to absolutely any Windows user is the Sound Recorder utility. Go to the following path: "Start" -> "All Programs" -> "Accessories" -> "Entertainment" -> "Sound Recorder". Run the program. Connect the microphone to your computer through the appropriate connector (usually located on the back panel and is pink), press the button and start talking or playing a musical instrument. This program only allows you to record sound, but does not provide an opportunity to process it, so only beginners use it.
Step 2
A more professional program is All Sound Recorder. It consists of two parts: the actual sound recording program and a mini-editor, which allows you to clean the sound from extraneous noise using filters. After recording, save the resulting audio file in one of the three available formats: WAV, 3-OGG, MP3.
Step 3
Another popular digital audio editor is Sound Forge. This program is mainly used by musicians to process compositions and apply various effects. In addition, it allows you to translate files from one format to another.
Step 4
Before recording, regardless of the type of program you choose, try to get rid of any extraneous noise and retire indoors, especially if you are going to record a voice. It is very convenient to use headphones with an attached microphone - they will leave your hands free to work with your computer. Check out the tutorials for your software program to see what additional effects you can apply to future recordings.
