FAQ

How do I…

Back up my recordings?

Your recordings are stored on your device, not in the cloud, and will not automatically transfer if you change devices. You can use an app like Dropbox or Google Drive to back up your recordings:

1. Open the app and switch to the “Listen” tab.
2. Select all of the recordings you wish to backup.
3. Select the share icon from the action bar at the top of the screen.
4. Choose the app you want to use for backing up your recordings.
5. Wait for them to upload.
6. If you have recordings in more than one folder, then repeat the above steps for all of the folders you wish to copy over to the new device.

You can also use an app like Dropsync to do this for you automatically.

Transfer my recordings to my computer?

It’s highly recommended to back up the recordings on your computer before opening or modifying them. Some phones have been known to corrupt the recordings when the person played them back directly from the device.

If you’re using Windows:

1. Connect the phone to your PC with your USB cable.
2. Make sure your phone is in USB or media storage mode.
3. Browse to the phone from your computer.
4. Locate the files; by default they will be stored in the “EasyVoiceRecorder” folder.

If you’re using a Mac:

1. Download and install Android File Transfer before connecting the USB cable.
2. Make sure your phone is in USB or media storage mode.
3. Browse to the phone from your computer.
4. Locate the files; by default they will be stored in the “EasyVoiceRecorder” folder.

If you can see files only on your device but not on your computer, then try restarting your device.

See also:

Use an external microphone?

On the latest Android devices, all you need to do is plug the microphone into your device’s headphone jack. Once the external microphone is plugged in, the device handles everything automatically.

To ensure that you do record from the external microphone, set Settings > Tuning > Microphone to “Main”.

See also:

Use Bluetooth mode?

To record with Bluetooth, first check your device settings and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled and that your microphone is paired and connected. In your Bluetooth microphone settings, ensure that “Media audio” is checked. Once that’s done, you can record from Bluetooth by returning to the app and setting Settings > Tuning > Microphone to “Bluetooth”.

Bluetooth only works with 8000Hz mono recordings. On some devices, Bluetooth is supported only for phone calls, and not for application audio.

Troubleshooting

I accidentally deleted a recording! How can I get it back?

Easy Voice Recorder doesn’t store remote copies of your recordings, so unfortunately, it’s unable to restore a deleted recording.

It may be possible to use the services of a data recovery specialist. The chances of a successful recovery increase the less you use your phone and the sooner this is done.

To help avoid this in the future, you can install Dropsync to automatically back up your recordings to Dropbox. For easier recovery of deleted files, you can also try Dumpster, a recycle bin for your Android device.

I can’t record at all! I always get an error about other apps using the microphone.

As these are all 3rd-party tools, Digipom unfortunately cannot provide any support or make any guarantees about their effectiveness.
Only one app may use the microphone at a time. If you encounter this error and nothing else seems to be using the microphone, please restart your device.

If the problem still persists, it might be caused by:

• Having a call recorder or radio recorder installed and configured to always run, or running an app like MagicJack.
• On some devices, Google Now’s voice detection may prevent other apps from using the microphone. Some custom 3rd-party launchers also listen in on the microphone.

I can’t record phone calls!

Easy Voice Recorder cannot record phone calls on most phones, as this is blocked by the hardware or by the operating system itself. As a workaround, you may be able to record the call by using the speaker phone and by trying different options under Settings > Main use.

I can’t save recordings to my SD card on Android 4.4+!

Beginning with Android 4.4 KitKat, full access to your SD card and other external storage is now blocked for all 3rd-party applications, like Easy Voice Recorder. This means that you won’t be able to create new recordings there. Your new recordings can only be saved in the app-specific folder assigned by Android, and these recordings will be erased if the app is uninstalled.

If you recently migrated from an earlier version of Android, your current recordings can still be played back from their old location even if Easy Voice Recorder couldn’t automatically move them to the new location for you. New recordings will need to be stored in the new location.

Due to bugs in Android 4.4 KitKat, Easy Voice Recorder may report folders on your SD card as writeable when they are actually blocked by the system.

I can’t send my recording via SMS or email.

If your recording is too large to send by email or SMS, then here are a couple of options you can try:

• Turn on compression under Settings > Advanced & troubleshooting > Compress PCM files when sharing, then try again.
• Use a third-party file sharing app, like Dropbox or We Transfer.

My recordings sound terrible!

On some devices, a hardware fault may cause poor recording quality or may cause recordings to sound like chipmunks. To improve the recording quality, keep the device away from noise and ensure that any sound-boosting options in the settings (i.e. xLOUD) are also turned off. You may also try turning off Boost volume (gain) by going to the Recording screen, touching the Filters icon (magic wand), and moving the boost slider all the way to zero.

Changing Settings > Sound quality to “High” and trying different options under Settings > Main use may help to fix these issues.

See also:

Parts of my recording are missing!

Some devices turn their microphones off when their screens go off, and Easy Voice Recorder cannot detect this on every device. For these devices, you will need to force the screen to remain on while Easy Voice Recorder is recording.

You can do this by going to Settings > Advanced & troubleshooting and setting Sleep mode while recording to “Allow dimmed screen” or “Leave screen on”.

See also:

The app keeps getting interrupted!

On some devices, the system will terminate running apps when the device goes to sleep. To keep the device awake, go to Settings > Advanced & troubleshooting and set “Sleep mode while recording” to “Allow dimmed screen”.

If the problem still occurs, turn off the device’s battery saver mode, and add the app to the battery optimization exception list. If a task killer is installed, the app will also need to be added to its exception list.

The microphone input may be distorted or excessively amplified. This effect may be reduced by changing Settings > Main use to “Music and raw sound”.

Bluetooth recording can be problematic on these devices. On Android 4.4 KitKat, the recording may simply fail sporadically, and on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the recording may silently switch to the device microphone when putting the app into background mode or turning off the screen.

HTC One X

Stereo recording does not work.

Huawei

all models

Many models may have a slight chipmunk effect when recording in AAC, and the internal mic may introduce distortion.

Motorola Droid

all models

Recording and playback may only work when the screen is forced on, in Settings > Advanced & troubleshooting > Sleep mode while recording.

The Droid RAZR is confirmed to have a recording problem with the AAC format, starting with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone inserts a gap into the recording every ten minutes. Versions of the firmware earlier than Ice Cream Sandwich don’t seem to have this issue.

Older Motorola devices may sometimes create recordings that sound like chipmunks.

Samsung

Note 4 and Note 4 Edge

Bluetooth recording can be problematic on these devices. On Android 4.4 KitKat, the recording may simply fail sporadically, and on Android 5.0 Lollipop, the recording may silently switch to the device microphone when putting the app into background mode or turning off the screen.

Voice Recorder (Sound Recorder before Windows 10) is an audio recording program included in most versions of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Its user interface has been replaced twice in the past.

Evolution[edit]

Sound Recorder has been in most versions and editions of Windows since Windows 3.0, including Windows 9x, Windows Server and the client versions of Windows NT. Even Windows Mobile came with one. Its user interface and feature set saw very little change until Windows Vista, when features that lacked practicality were discontinued and Sound Recorder was simplified. This version of Sound Recorder was included in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, but did not make it to Windows 10.

A second, different Sound Recorder was introduced in Windows 8.1, thus Windows 8.1 has two distinct apps called Sound Recorder. This second app was a Windows Store app and adhered to the design tenets of the Metro design language.^[1] Leaked images of a preview version Windows 10 Mobile showed this app too.^[2] When Windows 10 released, however, it was renamed Voice Recorder.^[3] The original Sound Recorder was removed from Windows 10.

Features[edit]

Voice Recorder (known as Sound Recorder before Windows 10 and for the majority of its history) can record audio from a microphone or headset. In addition, many modern sound cards allow their output channels to be recorded through a loopback channel, typically called 'Wave-Out Mix' or 'Stereo Mix'.

Before Windows Vista, Sound Recorder was capable of:

• Playing the audio files that it has recorded
• Converting the bit rate, bit depth and sampling rate of the audio file
• Inserting other audio files at the beginning, end or the desired location of the current audio
• Splitting out parts of the current audio clip
• Increasing or decreasing volume in 25% increments
• Increase or decrease playback speed in 100% increments
• Adding an echo (without reverberation)
• Reversing the current audio clip

These features, however, were either removed in Windows Vista or taken over by other applications.^[4] The playback and trimming features reappeared in Voice Recorder, although Voice Recorder can only play its own recordings.^[3]

Sound Recorder accepts command-line parameters.^[5] This was removed in Windows 8, as Windows Store apps cannot be run with a parameter from the command-line.

File format[edit]

Before Windows 7, Sound Recorder could save the recorded audio in waveform audio (.wav) container files. Sound Recorder could also open and play existing .wav files. To successfully open compressed .wav files in Sound Recorder, the audio codec used by the file must be installed in the Audio Compression Manager (ACM); Windows installations dating back to at least Windows 95 came with a selection of standard codecs that included Truespeech, GSM 6.10, G.723.1, IMA ADPCM and CCITT A-law and u-law, with additional codecs being added in later editions.

Starting with Windows Vista, Sound Recorder saves recorded audio in Windows Media Audio (.wma) files instead; the exceptions to this are the Home Basic N and Business N editions, which continue to use .wav.^[5] Also, audio metadata such as Artist, Album, Title, and Genre can be added to the sound file directly while saving the file.^[4]

Voice Recorder in Windows 10 only records audio in MPEG-4 Part 14 (.m4a) container formats.

Issues[edit]

Where Does Voice Recorder Save Files Windows 10 32-bit

Versions of Sound Recorder before Windows Vista recorded audio to memory, rather than to the hard disk, and the length of recording was by default limited to 60 seconds. Microsoft recommends recording 60 seconds and pressing the Record button again to record another minute.^[6] In addition, it is possible to use the Sound Recorder's concatenation feature to increase the length of the audio file. For example, saving an initial 1 minute recording as '1min.wav' and then inserting the '1min.wav' file 9 times creates 10 minutes of recording which can then be saved as '10min.wav'. This '10min.wav' file can then be suffixed to itself 5 more times (or as many times as there is room in memory) to create a '1hour.wav' file. By recording over any of these longer sound files, Sound Recorder can have an uninterrupted arbitrary recording time (limited only by primary memory).

Where Does Voice Recorder Save Files Windows 10 64-bit

In 32-bit versions of Windows before Windows Vista, on computers with more than 2 GB of RAM, after recording (but not when playing), Sound Recorder will return an error message indicating that there is not enough memory. This is a design flaw of older versions of Sound Recorder and officially cannot be resolved except by reducing the amount of available physical memory.^[7] There does, however, exist an unofficial patch that resolves this problem.^[8] Another solution to the 'not enough memory' error is to run the program in compatibility mode. This can be achieved by right clicking on the .exe file, then selecting: properties, compatibility tab, 'run this program in compatibility for', and selecting the appropriate option, such as 'Windows XP Service Pack 2'.

The Sound Recorder in Windows Vista and later uses the hard disk for recording audio and can therefore record audio up to any length as long as there is free space on the hard disk drive.^[9]
