Audio Sound Recorder Free Download
Charise Scrivner
I am using software called Gnome Sound Recorder to record some audio. However, it gives me no options to do anything with the recordings aside from deleting it. I have looked high and low for the file, even using the whereis command and poking around in the corresponding directories, but have found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated--I recorded a half hour long recording and don't want to lose it!
While an application has the file open, you can use lsof to locate it. Note that this only works while the file is open at the operating system level, which may not always be the case while the application displays the file. For example a text or image editor typically opens the file to read or save it, but closes it immediately after each load or save operation. But I would expect a sound recorder to write progressively to the output file, and for that it would keep the file open as long as it's recording.
locate is a lot faster than find because it uses a pre-built index. But it can only find files that existed when the index was built. Most distributions arrange for the index to be rebuilt every night, or soon after boot (via anacron) if the system isn't always on.
I've recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I'm encountering some difficulties with a task that I think many of you might have experience with. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to record my screen on Windows 11 with sound. While I've found the built-in screen recording tool in Windows 11 to be quite straightforward for capturing video, I'm struggling to include audio in my recordings.
I've done some basic troubleshooting like checking my microphone and system sound settings, but I haven't had much luck so far. It's crucial for my work to create high-quality screen recordings that include both the screen activity and the accompanying audio, so any advice, tips, or recommendations from this community would be greatly appreciated.
PowerPoint's screen recording tool is integrated into the application, eliminating the need for third-party software for screen capture. This feature is particularly useful for educators, trainers, and professionals who want to create engaging presentations that include demonstrations, tutorials, or walkthroughs of software applications. You can record your entire screen or select specific areas to capture, and you also have the option to record audio from your microphone and the system audio.
Recording your screen on Windows 11 with sound can be accomplished by using the built-in tool, Snipping Tool, which has been updated to include screen recording features. First, ensure that your system's sound settings are properly configured to capture the audio you intend to record, whether it's system sounds, microphone input, or both.
To start, open the Snipping Tool from the Start menu or by searching for it. In the Snipping Tool's interface, you'll find an option to switch from image capture mode to screen recording mode. Before you begin recording, you can choose the audio source you want to include in your recording via the app's settings. Ensure the correct audio source is selected to capture the sound accompanying your screen recording.
Once you're ready to record, select the area of the screen you wish to capture or choose to record the full screen. Then, click the record button to start capturing both your screen and the selected audio. The Snipping Tool allows you to pause and resume the recording as needed, giving you flexibility in what you capture.
After you've finished recording, you can stop the recording, and the file will be automatically saved to your chosen location. The Snipping Tool also provides basic options for trimming your video before saving, allowing you to remove unwanted sections from the beginning or end of your recording. This built-in functionality in Windows 11 makes it convenient and straightforward to record your screen with sound without the need for additional software.
@Smithchow& many others, pls don't fall for these kind of Clickbaits! @Smithchow was saved that this wasn't a virus! I've seen people get scammed because of this! For example, last month, my best friend's dad download a software for recording his meetings. It was something like "TunesRecorder Pro". First of all, if the software requires you to give it administrative privileges EVERY time you launch it, I give you a 99.999% guarantee it's a virus. It's the MOST sus sign of ANY software possibly being a Trojan Horse! And I'm telling you... They can mess up your device REAL DEEP... As deep as your BIOS! So never ever "TRUST" anything. Even if it's a HUGE company like Microsoft or Apple, DO NOT TRUST THEM STRAIGHT AWAY!
If you need a screen recording software, just press Win+G. It will open Xbox Game Bar. Now in the "Capture" window, click the white dot option. Now just press any key & it will start recording.
@Anushtabh_Pateria Same experience here. I got a virus that hijacked my Chrome browser. Whenever I search for something, it led me to some ad pages. And it's very hard to remove the virus. I then had to reinstall Windows 11. I never trust any free tools now except open sources which are difficult to use for average people : (. Then, I bought the tool named ease us. Quite expensive but I'm assured. Here is an article I found this brand wrote -the Power Point way is quit easy if the third party recording software won't be a choice.
Hi, just did a re-install of UM22.04.2 and all my programs. Use a calc sheet to track what I have installed with settings and procedures. Had Audio Recorder in 18.04 (think it changed names two times since) to use with LibreOffice read text module to create timers for Alarm Clock Applet (used espeak and read text to a file which I then opened in Audacity). Switched to better voices on Internet and uploaded text and while it reads back record directly in Audacity. Haven't used it but was still on my calc sheet. Tried it and it hangs up and doesn't record, have to force application to quit. Re-installed once, still fail, uninstalled. Sorry can't help you further as my workflow records before and after and then quick edit in Audacity. Good luck.
Not exactly sure of your needs but maybe try these settings when using Sound Recorder. Should be same. Also thank you got me thinking and reworked my procedure for process I use. Have removed gnome-sound-recorder and pavucontrol which was used in previous method.
Ok, couple of thoughts. Click on Connector: down arrow and see what other choices are present if any, but don't think that is an issue. The way I sorta understand it is that by checking in Choose a device for sound input:
Monitor of ...... option it creates a virtual type microphone that records the output of the speakers.Maybe check in Output tab to see what connector shows. My previous image shows settings applying to my laptop's installed devices, yours will be different. Try switching to Monitor (possibly FHD may mess up??) Just guessing.
Shot of my Output Tab. On yours would show the FHD ..... in Choose a device for sound output. Another question no offense you do have sound playing correctly out of speakers when watching YouTube or other videos? Side thought are you using earphones? Sorry for all questions.
Do you have speakers or only headphones? On left is choices for my system input (checked built in audio to get dropdown) and on right is my output choices which no matter which one I chose it outputs to Audacity even with headphones unplugged and line out (had to get special adapter to hook to turntable to play records, old laptop had line in built in, not using at this point and not connected)
Do you have speakers working / plugged in though would seem to not matter as here output works on all three choices. Maybe try with monitor choice and unplug the headphones. Try quick multiple times as sometimes jack messes up. Had TV where all of a sudden remote didn't work. Turned out to be a jack on back, not used had to plug in multiple times and remote worked.
Bit the bullet and re-installed Sound Recorder. Played with settings and in image it just sits there without recording. Image shows it sitting there along side Audacity recording sound from video playing in background. Not sure how or what you were using sound recorder for but possibly Audacity might work with benefit that you can edit the tracks.
An audio tape recorder, also known as a tape deck, tape player or tape machine or simply a tape recorder, is a sound recording and reproduction device that records and plays back sounds usually using magnetic tape for storage. In its present-day form, it records a fluctuating signal by moving the tape across a tape head that polarizes the magnetic domains in the tape in proportion to the audio signal. Tape-recording devices include the reel-to-reel tape deck and the cassette deck, which uses a cassette for storage.
The use of magnetic tape for sound recording originated around 1930 in Germany as paper tape with oxide lacquered to it. Prior to the development of magnetic tape, magnetic wire recorders had successfully demonstrated the concept of magnetic recording, but they never offered audio quality comparable to the other recording and broadcast standards of the time. This German invention was the start of a long string of innovations that have led to present-day magnetic tape recordings.
Magnetic tape revolutionized both the radio broadcast and music recording industries. It gave artists and producers the power to record and re-record audio with minimal loss in quality as well as edit and rearrange recordings with ease. The alternative recording technologies of the era, transcription discs and wire recorders, could not provide anywhere near this level of quality and functionality.
Since some early refinements improved the fidelity of the reproduced sound, magnetic tape has been the highest quality analog recording medium available. As of the first decade of the 21st century, analog magnetic tape has been largely replaced by digital recording technologies.
