BTW, Thomas, a relatively recent addition to audacity also lets you
choose/use windows wasapi as device host, which then lets you directly
record the PC's own audio output - which means for something like a demo
podcast, instead of having to use a microphone to try record PC's output in
front of speakers, etc. you can record the PC's output cleanly/directly, and
then just use audacity afterwards to record your commentary, to then mix in
with it, again using audacity, but, there are also settings via windows to
let it in any case echo microphone input in real time as well, in which case
your only issue would be forms of loopback, if not using headphones to
record whole thing, but anyway - this addition in terms of a form of virtual
audio device was a nice thing for me, since had for a while before that
bbeen trying to figure out how to record PC's audio output combinations
cleanly/nicely using audacity, but anyway.
Stay well

Hi John,
You would be correct. I hadn't tried Sound Recorder since the XP days
since I found it to be junk, and to be honest I just tried out the
version with Windows 7 and still find it very dissatisfactory. To be
honest Audacity is totally free and it blows Sound Recorder away hands
down. So I would suggest that people interested in doing their own
podcasts and such to go with Audacity which is a much better option
and forget about Sound Recorder as a serious tool for recording and
editing stuff.
Cheers!

You're thinking of the recorder in xp or earlier. Windows7 has a recorder
which removes the time limit. It doesn't have as many save options (I
think
its 128kbps wma), but you can tape for however long you want and if you
redirect the default device
you can tape whatever you need, providing that you don't want to tape two
devices at once. It works pretty nicely for sound-only playthroughs.
