If you’re still looking for a powerful software solution to record the content played through your audio card, don’t forget to give FREE Hi-Q Recorder a try.

Because this application has been designed especially with this goal in mind, offering a very user friendly approach to target all types of users.

While the interface is pretty easy to use, not the same thing can be said about the settings menu which might seem a bit overwhelming at the first glance. There are options everywhere you look and it’s pretty obvious that this isn’t the well-organized look we’ve been expecting.

FREE Hi-Q Recorder can record sounds in MP3, WMA, OGG and WAV, each format coming with its very own settings. You can select input source and the record volume, with a special tool to preview the settings on the go.

Additionally, FREE Hi-Q Recorder gives you the power to define the recording length, but also enable the auto-split utility that automatically splits the recording into multiple parts once a size or length limit is reached.

Last but not least, FREE Hi-Q Recorder also boasts a recording scheduler, which means you can start recording at a user defined time, with dedicated options to even set up the recording length.

FREE Hi-Q Recorder remains light on hardware resources all the time and while it works okay on every Windows workstation, Windows 7 users need administrator privileges to launch it.

FREE Hi-Q Recorder is indeed a very handy audio recording tool and not only that it’s available for free, but it also provides an amazing audio quality that’s very close to the original.
