HiFi Recorder

Computers can be fitted with a wide range of software components to turn them into the right tools to enhance your workflow. This can even mean recording sound, which can either be done from speakers or a connected microphone. In case you’re looking for a proper way of capturing sound, HiFi Recorder might be a suitable choice.

When launched, a cool window shows up, mostly resembling an audio player than a recorder. The main window is split into two components, one fitted with all necessary controls, while the other represents the playlist. In fact, you can use the application as an audio player, and not just to capture sound.

Playback controls make sure you can play, pause, stop, adjust volume, and skip through content, with a playlist which can be made up of audio files under formats like MP3, WAV, and WMA. As far as recording goes, it’s simply triggered by pressing the common button, capturing sound from a connected microphone. There’s no default option to grab speaker sound, but you can set Stereo Mix as your system default recording device.

It’s a good idea to open up the record format panel before attempting to capture sound. Not that this step is entirely necessary, but it helps you define the output format and associated quality. You can choose from WAV, MP3, and WMA, with either stereo or mono channels, each format with configurable bitrate.

More than just a simple recording application, there are several other tools to use in your work. As such, files inside the playlist can undergo processing for joining, editing, or conversion from WAV to MP3. These tools are accessed at the press of a button, opening up in individual windows.

To sum it up, HiFi Recorder offers a lot more than expected, such as an audio player, processor, joiner, and converter. The interface is highly intuitive, while file support offers a great deal of flexibility to record, process, and fine-tune your audio tracks.
