Active Sound Recorder 2

      Active Sound Recorder is an ActiveX control developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes it easy adding sound recording capabilities to applications written with the most widely-used development environments that accept ActiveX controls like as Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET. Active Sound Recorder is designed to work directly with your sound card or with your CD/DVD player, so you can record almost any audio, including that from a microphone, a line-in jack or a CD player (CD ripping), at near-perfect quality. Recorded sounds can be kept in memory for later use or stored on the hard disk using several formats: WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis, AAC and MP4 but also using the ACM codecs installed inside the system; once a recording session has been completed, its possible to hear recorded sound through the embedded playback system. Active Sound Recorder allows a deep analysis of the recorded sound waveform with rich visualisation capabilities like range selection, zooming and panning. Recorded sounds can be edited, resampled, mixed with other sounds and exported to disparate formats: the ideal solution for implementing strong Dictation Software Applications. The integrated Sound Activation System allows pausing a recording session automatically when no sound is being heard: this will help saving valuable space both in memory and on disk. Active Sound Recorder comes with many Internet related features: it can record sound data coming from Internet URLs (HTTP, FTP or MMS): this allows recording directly from Internet radios streaming in WMA, MP3, OGG Vorbis, AAC and AC3 formats. Contents of a recording session can be uploaded to a FTP server. Thanks to the integration with FreeDb servers (CDDB), the control can obtain information about the CD currently in ripping phase and, if available on the Amazon web site, the control can obtain the CD cover pictures as well.
