Hi, in this video we're going to show
you a free tool you could use to record
sounds from your computer. So you could
record system sounds, you know, such as
music playing or YouTube video playing,
and you could also record your
microphone as well, or you could record
everything at once. All right, so the
program is called Sound Recorder. So
there are two versions. There's a free
version and a pay for version, which is
$19, I believe. the pay for version, you
just get updates and you don't have to
look at the nag screen, but the free
version works fine. And then you could
also do the installable version where it
installs as a program and it'll give you
an icon on your start menu. Or you could
do the standalone version, uh, meaning
you don't have to install it. You just
download the zip file and extract it and
run the executable. And that's what I'm
going to do here. So once you have
everything extracted, just run the sound
recorder. EXE. So, if you were using the
installed one, you just find it in your
programs there and run it that
way. So, this is the nag screen you have
to look at if you don't pay for
it. All right. So, we have system sound,
microphone, or both. And then you can
save the full recording, have a trim
silence for you or split your
recordings. Then you have master volume.
Then you have your output directory that
you could change. All right. So, let's
do the system sound first. So, we have a
song
here. So, I'm going to play this song
and then I'm also going to play some
audio from a YouTube video and we'll
record both. But I'll start by just
recording the song
[Music]
here. I'll just undo redo some
encryption options here. View the
document properties. On the home tab, we
have our typical cut, copy,
paste. All right. Click on
stop. So, here's our system sound wave
file. If you go to the settings, you
could have it as a MP3 or wave. Default
is wave. All right. So, let's try it
[Music]
out. Just undo redo some encryption
options here. View the document
properties. So, you can see recorded
both. And then of course we could just
do microphone if we want to do
that. This is a recording from the
microphone. This is a recording from the
microphone. And then we could do both.
And when we do both, you could either
have it as one file or separate. So
we'll try both ways here. So I'm going
to play the song in the YouTube video
and then press record and start talking.
[Music]
Steven Pace special all your font
adjustments here for formatting. All
right. So now I'm talking through the
microphone as well as having the YouTube
video and the song. Of course use all
your Windows fonts. You have the same
fonts that you have in
[Music]
Word. All right. So here's our combined
file. It's here for formatting. All
right. So now I'm through the microphone
as well as having the Of course.
All right. So, we have everything going
at once. And now we'll try it again, but
we'll split the files. Let me clean up
some of these other files. Get them out
of the way
here. All right. So, now I will do the
keep a separate recordings option and
I'll just play the song and then talk to
the microphone and it should make two
files. All right. The song is playing in
the background, but I should just have
my voice a separate file here when
everything is said and
done. All right. So, we have the system
sound, which would just be this audio
from the
[Music]
song, right? Then we have the
microphone, which would just be my
voice.
All right, the song is playing in the
background, but I should just have my
voice in the separate file here when
everything is said and done. All right,
so you can see it did a good job at
keeping them separated. So you have that
option when you do
both. All right, so once again, you
could record your system sound, your
microphone, or both. And then if you do
both, you could have separate files for
the system sound and for the microphone.
Or you could uncheck that and have
everything in one file. All right, so
I'll put a link in the description where
you could download Sound Recorder and
you can check it out for yourself. All
right, thanks for watching and be sure
