Free Hi-Q Recorder for Windows

User Reviews

• Its brilliant. I've used it daily for maybe 10 years!

  stickyearsNovember 2, 2015

  Pros

  Its super easy and stable. I use it daily and the index feature is great!

  Cons

  It may have some issues finding your soundcard

  Summary

  I've been using this software to record radio shows so that i can dump them in an mp3 player and listen to the show at my desk the next day at work. The timer and index functions are great. I have successfully used it on XP and Windows 7. Years ago, there was one single soundcard in a laptop didn't jive with it. It does not replace Audacity or adobe audition, so if you're wanting to record LPs, it can do it, but feels slightly compress and limited. I recommend this software 100% which I rarely do.

• Free version is crippled

  rivertoad (aka azimuth)December 17, 2011

  Pros

  You can see the whole options panel at once.

  Cons

  Publisher's description included the feature I wanted (vcr-like timer), but this would cost $25.

  Summary

  The program pops up, "Feature not available in free version" when you try to change the recording quality, use the timer, or do other things. Maybe the free version is worthwhile to some, but not me.

• Couldn't find a sound card on a Lenova running Win 7

  dcampuicFebruary 16, 2011

  Pros

  None that I can find.

• Does not work on Windows 7

  bedouiaJanuary 17, 2011

  Pros

  Couldn't use it so no pros

  Cons

  The windows came up with the edges gone so I couldn't see all the buttons. After changing three settings the whole thing froze and dinged at me no matter what I did. I couldn't close it with Task Manager so I had to restart my computer.

  Summary

  Don't bother trying this if you have WIndows 7.
