    Hi,

    My computer has an integrated microphone which takes perfect recordings up to 10 feet away (havent tested farther).

    Does anyone know of any good sound recording software I can use that might have more features than Windows' built in sound recorder? Not sure what I want but it would be great to play with.

    Thanks :D

    Nice! I can edit sounds heavily, I just never realized the record button would work for any mic, even internal ones :rolleyes:.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try.

    You can change pitch without changing speed. You can slow down without changing pitch. Very useful for a guitar player to practice. Oh and free!
