The ability to record sound has been a standard feature of any PC since the first sound card was released. Modern PC's allow users to connect virtually any device to a multitude of interfaces to produce recordings of different levels of quality intended for a wide range of purposes. Professional sound recording software has almost completely replaced expensive software/hardware sets of equipment previously used in sound recording studios. However, the complexity of these solutions scares off of a lot of users, let alone their high price. What if you only need to be able to digitize your old cassettes or turn your dad?s collection of LP's into MP3's? What if you are a college student and are currently working on a new acoustic device to be connected to a PC and need to test it? What if all you need is to record a piece of your favorite game?s soundtrack? If you seek questions to these answers, make sure you don?t miss Tau Audio Recorder, for it has them all!
