Microphone Pro

Microphone Pro is a Metro application that gives you the possibility to record music or voice using a microphone, whether it's integrated or plugged into the PC. It can save recordings as MP3 files as well as upload them to OneDrive using your Microsoft account.

The app is specially made for computers running Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, especially touch-supported devices, thanks to its large buttons. It can be effortlessly downloaded from the Store and pinned to your Start Screen or Menu for quick access.

Keep in mind that the main window doesn't load all features if a microphone isn't available. You can click or tap the large "Record" button to start the task as well as view passed time during the recording session.

Once it's over, you can record something new, play the current recording to see if you're satisfied with the audio quality, as well as save it as an MP3 file after giving it a name.

Unfortunately, Microphone Pro doesn't give you the possibility to set the saving directory, nor does it specify the current location. Uploading MP3 files to OneDrive can be done from the main window after logging in with your Microsoft account.

Microphone Pro doesn't come with configuration settings for controlling the audio quality, sample rate and other properties useful for creating MP3 files. As previously mentioned, it doesn't show where it saves the files, so you have to browse the hard drive and find them by yourself.

Nevertheless, Microphone Pro delivers a comfortable way of recording music or voice using a microphone, in order to create MP3 files and optionally upload them to your OneDrive account. It's free and can be easily used. Too bad that it doesn't come with any configuration options.
