Ashampoo^® Audio Recorder Free⁠

Universal audio recording software

Fast, compact high-quality audio recorder

Ashampoo Audio Recorder Free is a free audio recording software to capture audio from your microphone or sound card (loopback). This make the program a perfect dictation machine that records your voice without loss of quality, e.g. to add an audio track to your own videos.

New smart features for you

Fast and easy recording

A real-time level meter lets you see which device is playing sound at the moment. You can edit metadata, search for cover art, or rename files even while you're recording. Enjoy an easy-to-use recording tool that packs all the essential features you need!

Record anything you say or hear

Capture what you hear

With Ashampoo Audio Recorder Free, you can record from any audio source on your PC. This includes your microphone, the classic "All You Can Hear" loopback from your sound card, as well as individual browsers or apps. Record streaming services like Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Apple Music, audiobooks, or web radio stations in top quality. Unwanted system sounds from other apps, such as incoming email notifications or auto-playing videos in your browser, are automatically filtered out! The software fully supports plug and play, allowing you to connect devices on the fly and start recording immediately.

I like showing Audio Recorder FREE to new developers because its clean and minimal design still includes everything you need. The program does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and everything is immediately clear. For newcomers, it’s a great introduction to how we think about usability.
