Record Audio

Records sound from the microphone and saves it as a file. The mp3, ogg, flac, and wav formats are supported, and recorders are registered in Settings > Audio Recorder.

Audio Recorder

Select the audio recorder to use.

Commands

• Start Recording (default): Starts recording.
• Stop Recording: Stops recording.

Fields

All of the following fields are displayed only when Command is Start Recording.

File Format

• mp3 (default): A lossy compressed format with a good balance of quality and file size.
• ogg: An open-source compressed format with high quality.
• flac: A lossless compressed format with CD-quality audio.
• wav: An uncompressed raw format with large files.

Bit Rate (kbps)

Select 64, 96, 128, 192 (default), 256, or 320 kbps. Higher bit rates improve quality but increase file size; 128 kbps or higher generally gives good quality.

File Path

Enter the path to save the recording, or pick it in the file browser (for example, C:\Users\me\file or /home/me/file). Both slashes and backslashes are accepted, and surrounding spaces and quotes are removed automatically.
