Making a Windows Sound Recorder Recording

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I decided to try to make a sound recording as described on page http://www.emicrophones.com/docDetails.asp?DocumentID=30 but without success.

Step 1.  In Vista the path is 'Start - All Programs - Accessories – Sound Recorder'.

SteStep 2.  There is no File Menu, or any other menu in Sound Recorder.  

Step 4.  Step 4.  (where did the first few characters go as I had to enter this twice?)  Click back to Sound Recorder, presumably from the unnamed application I was supposed to switch to in Step 2.  

Step 5.  (Why do the first few characters keep disappearing?  I am using IE8 on Vista.)  Click the Edit menu.  Where do I find it?
When  When (for the second time) I make a recording after ignoring steps 2 to 6 I find that there is some noise in the silent passages, but this is not noticeable above my voice.  Does this mean that I should try to improve the sound quality by, possibly, using a sound pod?  

Presumably the extra characters down below are the ones which went missing in the passages above.
