Active Sound Recorder is an ActiveX control developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes it easy adding sound recording capabilities to applications written with the most widely-used development environments that accept ActiveX controls such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET .
Active Sound Recorder is designed to work directly with your sound card or with your CD/DVD player, so you can record almost any audio, including that from a microphone, a line-in jack or a CD player (CD ripping), at near-perfect quality.
The whole recorded sound can be kept in memory for later use or stored on the hard disk using several formats: WAV, MP3, WMA and OGG Vorbis; once a recording session has been completed, it's possible to hear recorded sound through a very basic playback system: if you need more sophisticated playback features (like changing tempo or pitch), consider using this component in conjunction with our Active DJ Studio ActiveX control.
The integrated Sound Activation System allows pausing a recording session automatically when no sound is being heard: this will help saving valuable space both in memory and on disk.
Thanks to the integration with FreeDb servers (CDDB), the control can obtain information about the CD currently in ripping phase and, if available on the Amazon web site, the control can obtain the CD cover pictures as well.
