CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This utility offers a simple solution for recording, editing, and converting audio files, though the trial version's limitations may scare off some folks. The interface is reminiscent of many similar applications, with multiple icons surrounding the large waveform view in the main window. If you don't care for the default color scheme, you can customize one that's more to your liking. You can choose to record files in formats such as MP3, OGG, WAV, and AIFF, and Any Sound Recorder lets you set the bit rate and compress files in VBR mode. The program can optimize the recording process for such sources as a microphone, a CD player, or a line-in signal, and the voice-activation feature will be useful to those who plan to record memos. The scheduling feature lets you record multiple Internet radio transmissions. As an audio editor, this program is somewhat limited, only offering basic effects for fading, inverting, reverting, normalizing, and applying an echo feature. However, this program's biggest downfall is its 60-second trial limitation, which might limit its usefulness in certain scenarios. If that doesn't bother you and you don't need fancy effects or filters, you'll find Any Sound Recorder a decent choice.Publisher's description

Version: Any Sound Recorder 2.93 build 2932
"Does what it's supposed to do very well"
Pros: Programe is easy to use, I use it for internet radio. It will record any sound your soundcard will produce. It does a great job with voice recording and has a feature that will pause the recording when there is no sound. The wav editor is simple to use, and has the most commonly used features.
Cons: The sound quality is about an A-, when recording music it seems to lose some of its fidelity. But that could be do the fact that the sound is recorded in anolog rather than digital. The online instructions will get you started but it takes a bit of trial and error to find what sounds and works best for you. Here is an important tip, 1) turn off all default desktop sounds Remember this is a soundcard recorder and will record all sounds produced by the soundcard, so if your recording music and you empty the trash while recording, the default trash sound will bleed in with the music. 2) Turn off instant messager, aside from generating a "you have a message sound" it will create gaps and skips while recording music. The best way to record is to start recording and leave the computer alone until you stop recording no multi tasking or you will corrupt your audio.
