Apowersoft Free Audio Recorder

Apowersoft Free Audio Recorder is a straightforward piece of software developed to help users record sound from the system, microphone, or both at the same time.

It comes packed with intuitive options that can be handled by all types of users, even the ones with no prior experience in such apps.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure, you are greeted by a familiar interface where you can get started by selecting the audio input between the three aforementioned options.

Once you hit the Start button, the recording begins. Stopping it will automatically generate the new file (in MP3 format) to a preset location, and you can open it afterward in Explorer with the click of a button.

Track information can be edited when it comes to the title, artist, album, year, genre and artwork. You can schedule recording tasks at a specified time and date, as well as with a fixed duration or stop time. The computer may be set to automatically power off afterward.

As far as program settings are concerned, it is possible to change the output format from MP3 to OGG, WMA, WAV or FLAC, remap keyboard shortcuts for starting, pausing/resuming and stopping recordings, as well as alter the default system sound and microphone source, among others.

Apowersoft Free Audio Recorder offers multilingual support, uses a low amount of CPU and memory, and delivers quality audio tracks. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the tool did not freeze or crash.

In a nutshell, if you're looking for an uncomplicated software tool to record sound from the system, microphone or both sources at once (in addition to having a few handy options up its sleeve), then Apowersoft Free Audio Recorder does the trick.
