Make sure your mic is plugged in then look in the start menu for the Sound Recorder. It comes built in to windows.



To set the file size to one that is appropriate for on the internet, go to file, then properties, choose from the drop down box "recording formats" then hit "convert now" there should be a box come up with cd quality, radio quality and telephone quality. Set it on radio quality.

Push on the Start button and start talking. The little green line will sort of bounce around which means it's working.. it's recording.

When you're done, click the Stop button.



If you want to re-do it, click File\New and start over. When you get one you like, click File\save and save it as yourname.wav

To listen to the recording, move the little dial all the way to the left and click the arrow right in the middle. That will let you hear it.

If you don't have a mic, I hear Wal-Mart has them for less than $5 US - and it's a fun experience!!
