There is no shortage of apps that can help you record sounds, edit them or even help you burn audio files on optical media, but it is quite difficult to find one that does all of those.

Total Recorder Editor is a powerful piece of software that aims to be a complete audio solution for your computer by providing you with all the necessary tools and features you need to record, edit and burn audio files.

Before we get to the point of the matter, you are advised to pay careful attention during installation as the application might bundle third-party offers.

First things first, the tool comes with a modern and very functional interface, with the most important element being the ribbon toolbar.

For example, you can extract sounds from applications, web browsers and games, you name it.

With both an audio- and visually-based editing engine, you can easily cut, copy, paste, trim and merge your recordings with the utmost precision. The results can be previewed in real-time, so you can be sure that the changes you are about to apply are befitting to what you originally intended.

You are offered the possibility to add audio effects to enhance your records, such as amplify, compressor, delay, equalize, fade in and out, vibrato, normalize, flanger, invert, phase, reverb, silence and stretch.

Needless to say, the utility comes with support for the most popular audio formats out there including MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AAC, AC3, AU, MMF, M4A, FLAC and more. The tool helps you remove annoying noises from your (live) recordings, namely hiss, hum and computer fan noise.

Noteworthy are also Total Recorder Editor's other features that make it possible for you to take advantage of the built-in presets, adjust audio parameters and convert written text to MP3s, quite useful for creating audiobooks.

To conclude, Total Recorder Editor is a sturdy and well-equipped software solution for managing recordings. This feature-packed app is lightweight, easy to use and quite powerful, qualities that put it up there with the best apps for editing and recording audio files.
