Looking for a program to Record my voice

[loadedkaos]

Hello all I just baught a mic for my computer thought I would try and get by with a free sound recording program so far every thing I found is trial version, shareware or is so complicated I wonder if it is even worth the time. Maybe somebody can point out something out or atleast Something cheap?
Thanks in advance.

give this a shot. http://audacity.sourceforge.net

i haven't used it for recording my voice, but it's good for editing mp3s and i'm pretty sure you can record stuff from a microphone. i assume that's what the record button's for. if you want to export an mp3 you need an extra plugin. i think it's called lame or something. it'll tell you what you need when you first try it.

If you are running WindowsXp( :evil: ) then click on start>all programs>accessories>entertainment>sound recorder. I've never used it, but it seems simple enough. Hope this is helpful. :lol:

Yeah the sound recorder on windows is great and very simple but it only records 60 seconds and I can never figure audacity out maybe I just need to take time with the help instructions. Well If there are any more suggestions please feel free to clue me in.

[quote="EMG"]I'm pretty sure that soundforge is open source and if nothing else you can use what I use which is GoldWave, it's not freeware, but it's shareware that actually lets you use it, I made about 1/5 the files on the site with it before I registered(and I didn't have to even then).[/quote]

and also, about the recorder on windows...it can go longer than 6/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i seconds. when it reaches the end of 6/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i seconds just hit record again and it will add another 6/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i seconds to what you already have and continue what you had already recorded. It's still a pain in the ass though.

musicmatch jukebox has an excellent recorder buit in, but it is shareware, but their is always a crack available if your willing to look around a bit :D :D
