Get Started
What to consider when choosing an audio recorder
What makes an audio recorder the right one for you? Most importantly, find high-resolution audio recording software. For crystal clear audio, we recommend uncompressed WAV files over MP3s and a minimum of 41 kHz, but it's best if you can record in 48 kHz. It’s also worth finding software with local recording to ensure that everything is recorded straight on your device. This stops unreliable internet connection from ruining your recordings’ sound quality and resolution. Besides
recording-related features, editing tools are something to look out for.
All-in-one software means you don't need to switch between apps, giving you a seamless experience. If you’re a beginner you’ll want automatic editing tools. This saves you a lot of time and effort! If you’re more advanced and want more control you might be better off using specialized editing software. In this case, use audio recording software that allows you to export separate audio tracks. Other extras to consider include automatic transcription, the ability to record with remote guests, and mobile phone recording.
