This article is intended exclusively for beginners...

Sound recording may be needed in many cases - when learning a language, recording audio greetings, even songs, and why not? You don't need a recording studio yet; to get started, a computer with installed operating system"Windows". Here we will look at two OS options: Windows 10 and Windows 7. As you understand, in all cases you will need a microphone connected to the computer or a built-in microphone. In order to make your own audio clip, first, record your voice on the computer. Here are instructions for those who do not have a special recording program.

Let's start with Windows 10, since most users already have this system installed, and the sound recording process is greatly simplified here. Click on the Windows button (formerly START, the small window in the lower left corner of the screen), click on voice recording. In the window that opens, click on the microphone icon and feel free to start talking, singing, shouting (if you really want to), demonstrate your abilities, knock, squeak the door, play the guitar - now it all depends on your imagination. You have as many as 3(!) buttons at your disposal: PAUSE, STOP AND MARK (checkbox). With the first two, I think everything is clear, but using the checkbox we can mark the desired place on the recording. By the way, a mark can also be added during playback.

And now Windows 7, because this system For various reasons, many more users have it installed.

Click the "start" button -> "programs" -> "accessories" -> "entertainment" -> "sound recording". The sound recording panel will appear. Click "file" -> "properties" -> "convert". Select CD quality (CD quality PCM 44,100 kHz; 16 bit; Stereo).

Click OK. Next is the “edit” button, “audio properties”, “sound recording” tab, “volume”. We put the bird on the microphone (microphone), set the volume slightly above the minimum - this will reduce the level of external noise (it is better to speak louder). You can choose the volume experimentally. Close the "recording level" window.

You have 1 minute to record your congratulatory commercial or any other video. We press the red button, and the recording starts.

At the end of a minute, recording will stop automatically, unless you stop it earlier, after which you can continue recording, and so on ad infinitum. Recording time for this file increases accordingly.

You can also record a blank minute, and then use the "edit" button to copy and paste it as many times as necessary to obtain the required recording time.

Of course it's not entirely convenient, but it's simplest program as part of "Windows" and it can become your starting point. If you want to get into sound recording more seriously, you need special program- sound editor, for example, Sony Sound Forge, WaveLab, GoldWave, Audacity. The latter, by the way, is distributed free of charge under the GNU license, and works perfectly under Windows. You can read more about working with it.

In the "edit" menu you can find the simplest editing tools. Entries can be joined or mixed, and deleted before or after the current position.

Turn on playback and listen. We are working on bugs. You can play with effects (echo, speed, sound reverse), but if you are going to edit the file yourself or with someone’s help, it is advisable that it be without effects.

To send a file by e-mail, it is better to save it in MP3 format (unless, of course, we are talking about high-quality music recordings). To do this, click “file” (file), “save as” (save as), in the window that appears at the bottom we find the format item ((format), click the “change” button.

In the “format” drop-down menu, select MPEG Layer-3, “attributes”: 128 kBit/s, 44,100 Hz, Stereo. At the same time, the sound quality remains acceptable, and the file size is reduced several times. If quality is critical, it is advisable to increase the attribute numbers; if not, decrease them; the file size will change accordingly.

A few words about recording formats

  • MP3 - have good quality and small size.
  • Ogg Vorbis - according to some estimates, the quality is slightly better than mp3 for the same file size, but there may be compatibility problems, since not all players support this standard.
  • WAV - perfect sound quality at maximum settings, but also the maximum file size (sound recording without compression).
  • FLAC is the same excellent quality as WAV, and is approximately 50% - 80% the size of a wav file, but most players require plugins to run a FLAC file.
In general, there are a huge number of standards for audio processing and compression, some are actively used, others are slowly fading away. Below is a list of some of them for general reference:
  • Ogg vorbis
If what is described in this article is not enough for you, we suggest continuing the topic:

Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc into the drive and open this disc, when Windows 7 Explorer prompts you to format, select “With a CD DVD player”:

In the second window of the burning wizard, select the “Audio CD” type:

After that, copy the files, wav, mp3 or wma and paste them into the disc window. After copying the files, a Windows program window will open. Media Player" and in this window there will be a list of files to record. To start recording, click the “Start Recording” button:

Wait for the recording process to complete:

When recording is complete, the drive tray will open.

Note

Although it is possible to record an audio CD from MP3 or WMA files, you need to understand that in this case, although the disc format will be Audio-CD, the sound quality will correspond to the sound quality of the original MP3 or WMA files. So if you want to burn a really high-quality audio CD, you need to burn it from uncompressed sound files WAV format.

For best compatibility with consumer players, do not use for CD-RW recordings discs, but only CD-R.

Way Audio CD recordings, described in this article, is suitable only for those cases when the audio disc is planned to be played on a computer, car radio, portable player or boombox. But if you are a connoisseur of good music and you have good audio technology, then the approach to recording audio CDs should be completely different. Recording high-quality audio CDs is a rather complex topic that requires knowledge, specialized programs and equipment.
