Ants Sound Recorder

Recording sound from your computer's built-in or external microphone is not hot news, as even the first versions of Windows could help you achieve this. Things get a bit more complicated when it comes to capturing sound when the source is actually your computer's audio card.

Captures sounds played by your computer's audio card

This said, Ants Sound Recorder is a lightweight yet efficient piece of software that aims to be the only tool you ever need for capturing audio content.

To explain, the best thing about this small app is the fact that it can help you capture audio from your computer's microphone or from any source that uses your computer sound card.

In essence, it can record sound from files like MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, MP4 and M4A, just to name a few, as well as other Windows applications like media players and web browsers.

The application's main window, while compact, provides you with quick access to all the app's packed recording tools.

The gold-themed interface, with a strange choice of color scheme and clearly not the most stylish one out there, is responsive and intuitive enough to make working with Ants Sound Recorder as easy as possible, even for novices.

Consequently, once you start the application for the first time, it does not take a whole lot before you figure out how to operate all the controls.

Simply make sure that a sound is actually being processed by your audio card and click the specific record button. Once the recording process starts, every feature and menu 'locks up'. The only thing you can actively modify to influence the recording itself is the level threshold.

Taking all things into consideration, while it may not be much to look at, there is no denying that Ants Sound Recorder is an efficient and user-friendly application that makes capturing audio content seem like a walk in the park.
