Recording Audio Files with Sound Recorder in Vista
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Microsoft has greatly simplified the Sound Recorder for Vista and you’ll find that it can’t do nearly as much as it used to do. You start the Sound Recorder by choosing Start—>All Programs—>Accessories—>Sound Recorder.
To start recording, click Start Recording. The Sound Recorder continues recording until you click Stop Recording. When you press Stop Recording, Sound Recorder displays a Save As dialog box where you enter the information to save your recording. You only have one choice of format,Windows Media Audio File (*.wma).
If you want to resume your recording later, click Cancel when you see the Save As dialog box. The button caption changes to Resume Recording. When you click it again, the recording will resume. As normal, click Stop Recording to stop the recording and display the Save As dialog box.

Don’t suppose you can recommend a decent sound recorder to replace this one. It’s not so much for the recording of files as it is increasing the volume (amplitude?) of audio files as you used to be able to do in the old sound recorder. Was highly disappointed to learn that Vista couldn’t offer me this feature.
Thanks.
