You can start recording with the greatest of ease. Once your audio recording device is plugged in, click on Start Recording in the Sound Recorder application and the program will start using your line-in device set as default in your Control Panel.

If you don't have any special line-in devices, the Sound Recorder will use the computer's microphone automatically.

The recording process lets you see the duration of what you're recording while you're recording it, so if you're aiming for a specific duration, you'll be able to time your recording effectively.

When you're through, click on Stop Recording and the recording will end.

From there, you can save your recording on your computer. This is the same process as saving any other file. The file extension for your recording will be .wma and the file type is Windows Media Audio.

When saving your file, you can add numerous details like contributing artists and album name. If you've recorded some music, you can enter in additional details as well.

From there, click on the Save button and you're in the clear.

Should you want to resume recording, click on Cancel instead of Save and follow up by clicking on Resume Recording. This continues the recording where you left off.
