About Online Audio Recorder: Record Voice, Mic and Tab Sound

This online audio recorder captures sound from your microphone, from a browser tab or your computer's audio, or both mixed together. Pick a microphone if you have more than one, decide whether to use the browser's noise suppression, echo cancellation and automatic level (useful for speech, best switched off for music), and adjust the input volume. A live waveform and a level meter in decibels show how loud you are so you can avoid clipping, which shows in red.

Each time you stop, the recording is added to a list of takes. Every take has its own player and a waveform you can click to jump around. Trim the start and end with the sliders or set them from the current playback position, rename the take, and download it as an uncompressed WAV file (stereo or mono) or in a compressed format your browser can write, such as WebM, OGG or M4A.

Nothing is uploaded: recording, trimming and saving happen on your device. Takes stay in the page until you download them, so save the ones you want before closing or reloading.

How to use it

  1. Choose to record from the microphone, tab or system sound, or both.
  2. Check the level meter while you speak and set the input volume.
  3. Click Start recording or press Space, and press Stop when you are done.
  4. Trim the take if needed, give it a name and download it as WAV or another format.

Questions

Which formats can I download?

Every take can be saved as WAV. Compressed formats depend on your browser and usually include WebM, and often OGG or M4A. The buttons only list formats your browser can actually create.

Can I record the sound playing in another tab?

Yes. Choose Tab or system sound, then pick the tab in the share picker and switch on its audio option. Choose Both to talk over it with your microphone.

Why does my voice sound muffled or cut out?

Noise suppression and automatic level can remove quiet sounds or music. Turn them off and lower the input volume if the meter reaches the red area.

Is there a time limit?

No fixed limit. Long recordings are held in your computer's memory, so very long sessions use more memory, and WAV files grow by about 10 MB per minute in stereo.

Are my recordings stored online?

No. They exist only in this page until you download them, and are cleared when you close or reload it.
