Windows 7 和Windows 8包含一个很棒的小应用程序，您可以使用它来录制声音 -录音机(Sound Recorder)。您只需要插入声卡和麦克风，或内置麦克风的网络摄像头。您的录音将保存为Windows Media 音频(Windows Media Audio)文件，并可通过任何媒体播放器播放。要了解如何使用该程序，请不要犹豫，阅读本教程。
如何在Windows 7中启动(Windows 7)录音机(Sound Recorder)
找到录音机(Sound Recorder)的一种方法是转到"Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Sound Recorder"。
另一种方法是在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)搜索框中键入单词sound 。在搜索结果的程序(Programs)列表中，单击录音机(Sound Recorder)。
录音机(Sound Recorder)窗口非常小而且基本。在下面的屏幕截图中，您可以看到它的外观。
在Windows 8(Windows 8)中打开此程序的过程也非常相似。
如何在Windows 8中启动(Windows 8)录音机(Sound Recorder)
在 Windows 8 中，转到“开始(Start)”屏幕。右键单击或(Right click or swipe)从底部滑动，以调出上下文菜单。在那里，单击或点击(click or tap) 所有应用程序(All Apps)。在所有应用程序(All Apps)列表中，转到Windows 附件(Windows Accessories)并查找录音机(Sound Recorder)快捷方式。
一种更简单的方法是直接在“开始(Start)”屏幕上键入单词sound 。录音机(Sound Recorder)快捷方式立即显示在应用程序(Apps)列表中。
Windows 8中的录音机(Sound Recorder)窗口与其Windows 7版本相同。
如何开始、停止和恢复(Stop and Resume)录制
启动录音机(Sound Recorder)后，您可以立即判断麦克风是否正常工作。如果检测到声音，绿色条形音箱(sound bar)将根据声音的强度移动。
如果您没有发现任何动作，请插入麦克风并仔细检查是否正常工作。麦克风设置好并正常工作后，按下开始录音(Start Recording)按钮。
注意：(NOTE:)查看我们关于如何更改默认播放和录制音频设备(default playback & recording audio device)的文章，了解如何设置麦克风。
录音时，您可以在录音机(Sound Recorder)窗口的中间看到计时器显示的录音持续时间。
当您想要完成录制时，请按停止录制(Stop Recording)。
您现在需要选择录音的位置和文件名(file name)。默认文件扩展名(default file extension)是wma，文件类型是Windows Media Audio。此程序不支持其他文件扩展名。因此，如果您希望将录音存储为mp3文件，则必须使用其他程序对其进行转换。
对于每个录音，您可以添加详细信息，例如贡献艺术家和专辑名称(album name)。如果这样做对您有任何价值，您应该填写这些字段。
完成后，按保存(Save)按钮并保存记录。
如果要恢复录制，请不要按Save。单击或点击取消(Cancel)。
您现在可以按“恢复录制”(Resume Recording)按钮。
这将从您停止的位置继续录制。
如何从命令行录制(Command Line)音频(Audio)
您可以使用录音机(Sound Recorder)录制具有特定持续时间的文件，而无需显示任何用户界面。如果你问我，它是方便的间谍工具。🙂
为此，您需要打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)并键入以下命令：.SoundRecorder /FILE filename.filetype /DURATION hhhh:mm:ss
以下是每个命令行参数(command line parameter)的含义：
-
文件名(filename)- 文件名。
-
filetype - 文件类型必须设置为wma。
-
hhhh:mm:ss - 录制的持续时间，以小时、分钟和秒为单位。
命令行(command line)参数区分大小写。例如，您必须使用/FILE、 not/File或/file。
例如，如果你想创建一个名为 test.wma 的文件，持续时间为 30 秒，你应该写：然后按Enter。SoundRecorder /FILE test.wma /DURATION 0000:00:30
按下Enter后，将开始录制。它将在您指定的持续时间后自动停止。录音机记录从(Sound Recorder)microphone/recording device接收到的任何输入。
录音机(Sound Recorder)不显示其用户界面，也不显示任何提示。它正在运行的唯一线索是它的图标显示在任务栏的通知区域(notification area)，在桌面(Desktop)上。
录音将保存到您的用户帐户(User Account)文件夹中。如果您的用户名是Andrew，该文件将保存在C:UsersAndrew中。就我而言，该文件位于C:UsersCiprian文件夹中。
结论
正如您从本指南中看到的那样，录音(Sound Recording)是一个简单的工具，只需单击几下即可帮助您完成工作。任何人都可以使用它来录制声音。

How to Record Audio with Sound Recorder in Windows 7 & Windows 8
Windows 7 and Windows 8 inclυde a great little application yoυ can use to record sounds - Sound Recorder. All you need is a sound card and a microphone plugged in, or a webcam with a microphone built in. Your recordings are saved as Windows Media Audio files and can be played by any media player. To learn how to use this program, don't hesitate to read this tutorial.
How to Launch the Sound Recorder in Windows 7
One way to find the Sound Recorder is to go to "Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Sound Recorder".
Another way is to type the word sound in the Start Menu search box. In the Programs list of search results, click Sound Recorder.
The Sound Recorder window is very small and basic. In the screenshot below you can see how it looks.
The procedure for opening this program is also very similar in Windows 8.
How to Launch the Sound Recorder in Windows 8
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen. Right click or swipe from the bottom, to bring up the contextual menu. There, click or tap All Apps. In the All Apps list, go to Windows Accessories and look for the Sound Recorder shortcut.
An easier way is to type the word sound directly on the Start screen. The Sound Recorder shortcut is immediately displayed in the Apps list.
The Sound Recorder window in Windows 8 is identical to its Windows 7 version.
How to Start, Stop and Resume a Recording
As soon as you start the Sound Recorder, you can immediately tell if the microphone is working correctly. If sound is detected, the green sound bar will be moving, according to the strength of the sound.
If you notice no movement, plug in the microphone and double check that is working. When the microphone is set up and working, press the Start Recording button.
NOTE: Check our article on how to change the default playback & recording audio device, to learn how to set up your microphone.
While you are recording, you can see the duration of the recording being displayed by the timer, in the middle of the Sound Recorder window.
When you want to finish the recording, press Stop Recording.
You are now required to choose a location and the file name for your recording. The default file extension is wma and the file type is Windows Media Audio. Other file extensions are not supported by this program. Therefore, if you want your recordings stored as mp3 files, you will have to convert them with another program.
For each recording, you can add details like the contributing artists and the album name. You should complete these fields if there's any value to you doing so.
When done, press the Save button and the recording is saved.
If you want to resume the recording, don't press Save. Click or tap Cancel instead.
You can now press the Resume Recording button.
This will continue the recording from where you left off.
How to Record Audio from the Command Line
You can use Sound Recorder to record a file with a specific duration, without any user interface being shown. It's handy spying tool if you ask me. 🙂
To do this, you need to open the Command Prompt and type the following command: SoundRecorder /FILE filename.filetype /DURATION hhhh:mm:ss.
Here's what each command line parameter means:
-
filename - the file's name.
-
filetype - the file type must be set as wma.
-
hhhh:mm:ss - the duration of the recording, in hours, minutes and seconds.
The command line parameters are case sensitive. For example, you must use /FILE, not /File or /file.
For example, if you want to create a file called test.wma, with the duration of 30 seconds you should write: SoundRecorder /FILE test.wma /DURATION 0000:00:30 and press Enter.
Once you press Enter, the recording will start. It will stop automatically after the duration you have specified. Sound Recorder records any input received from the microphone/recording device.
The Sound Recorder does not show its user interface, nor any prompts. The only clue that it is running, is its icon displayed in the notification area of the taskbar, on the Desktop.
The recording is saved to your User Account folder. If your username is Andrew, the file will be save in C:UsersAndrew. In my case, the file was found in the C:UsersCiprian folder.
Conclusion
As you can see from this guide, Sound Recording is a simple tool which helps you get the job done with just a few clicks. Anyone can use it to record sound.
If you have any questions about this tool or you just want to share the experiences you've had with it, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
