Audio Recorder for Windows
Free audio recorder for microphone and computer sound
Capture a voice note, Windows playback or both. Freemore Audio Recorder keeps sources on separate tracks so you can balance them before saving your final file.
- Select microphone inputs and Windows playback sources
- Pause and resume without adding silence for the pause
- Edit, mix and export MP3, WAV or FLAC free
Free to use · Windows 10 / 11 · 64-bit · Version 8.1.0
Record the sources you need, then balance the result
Check levels while recording
Watch each source's meter and waveform, and adjust gain independently. Use an optional count-in or pause/resume. Paused time is excluded from the take. Microphone monitoring turns off while recording the default speaker output, so the monitored voice is not captured again.
Mix separate source tracks
Each source becomes a separate mixer track when you stop. Adjust volume and pan, mute an unwanted source or trim a mistake before mixdown. Voice and computer sound can have different final levels.
Export the finished take
Save the whole result or a selection as MP3, WAV or FLAC. Source WAVs are temporary takes: use Export/Download to keep the final file. Save supported mixer and editing state as an .amss session.

Audio recorder questions
Does recording both sources immediately make one mixed file?
No. Sources become separate takes and mixer tracks. Create a mixdown for one combined output.
Can I record without a microphone?
Yes. Select the speaker or headphone device playing the sound you want to record. The device must be active.
Why is the recording silent?
Check the device, level and permissions. For computer sound, select the endpoint actually carrying the audio.
Does the app schedule recordings?
This build has no recording timer or scheduling interface. Start, pause/resume and stop are controlled in the app.
Can I remove noise and trim the take?
Yes. Cutting, voice noise reduction, EQ and normalization are included. Preview changes; cleanup cannot guarantee perfect restoration.
