You can record everything that your soul desires: the sound of your own (or someone else's) voice, song, jokes, news for distant lands, birthday greetings and so on. Jealous husbands even record telephone conversations. But more on that later. Another question is how and with what to record.
And if earlier this could be done at a handicraft level, then modern technology gives excellent quality of voice recording or any other sound, you just need to know the necessary methods. And then recording programs come to the rescue. There are quite a lot of them in the software market, but we will consider the main, most popular, in order to find out their features, pros and cons.
Sound Recording
This recording program for PC with an absolutely uncomplicated name allows you to perform exactly the same simple functions. Being a built-in database in Microsoft Windows for a novice recording enthusiast, it has the following features:
- allows you to record sound through a microphone or other devices connected to the sound card of the computer, followed by saving in the file (in WMA format in Windows 7 and .wav format in all other releases) of the resulting work.
- In earlier versions of Windows, this recording program allowed you to capture a sound fragment with a length of only 60 seconds. Pressing the Record button again after this time made it possible to continue the process for another 60 seconds, and so on. Not very convenient, agree.
"Adobe Audition"
This recording program, formerly known as Cool Edit Pro, is a production of the world-famous company Adobe. It allows you to raise the level of work with sound to a more professional.

Bypassing the ethical moment, consider the most popular variety to date.
Callrecorder
A sound recording program with a completely transparent name that allows you to record conversations on Android phones. You can configure the program so that the recording goes through the kernel or api of the phone. The conversation is recorded using a microphone, however, some models also support direct recording from the conversation line. Which is much more convenient. The program is shareware.
