Audio Sound Recorder for .NET is a native .NET component that makes it easy adding sound playback and mixing capabilities to applications written with Visual Studio.NET. Audio Sound Recorder for .NET 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 Audio DJ Studio for .NET component. 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.
