As you can see from the screen-shot, Audio Recorder is a simple to use recorder that can be be very flexible in the right hands. Here is a quick run-down of the three main features.
First, it has a simple one touch record button. This will record from your audio source of your choice as soon as you press the button. You can record from your sound-card or you can set it to record from Microphone or Skype amongst others.
Secondly we have the brilliant "Timer" feature. With this you can set a start time to record, should you not be available to press the start button, and also add a "stop after" feature, which can be a length of time or a long silence. You can also set it to record upon hearing sound, which is great for capturing intermittent audio.
Thirdly of course you can select which audio format you would like to capture with. The choices are .OGG, .M4A, .FLAC, .MP2, .MP3, .WAV and .SPX. Surely this is a large enough choice for most people, and I'm sure most people will simply choose .MP3!
What can you really use Audio Recorder for?
So, it sounds like a useful feature, and it really is. You can use it to record audio in real-time from Youtube, Podcasts, DVDs, Streaming TV and anything else that has sound on your PC. It is most useful for recording streaming radio stations of course, and there's no excuse to not have the latest music or concerts off the radio in your collection again!
How do you install Audio Recorder?
It is very simple to install Audio Recorder, and can be done in a couple of easy steps.
First, open up "Terminal" which should be easy enough to find on your OS. Then simply copy and paste the following:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:osmoma/audio-recorder
Secondly press enter and copy and paster this:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install audio-recorder
Press enter again and we're all ready to go!
Audio Recorder can then be found in the sound & video section of your menus, or simply search audio recorder.
