Super Easy Music Recording
You can easily record your child’s music entry using your computer by using a program that comes free with Windows called Sound Recorder. If your computer doesn’t have an internal microphone, just find the microphone jack (look for a tiny microphone graphic next to a tiny hole) and plug in an external mic. You can find a cheap one at any computer store.
Just click on:
Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder. You can click the picture below for a clearer view.
This window will pop up:
Click on the little red circle to RECORD. The button with the square is STOP. The button with double arrows pointing to the left is for REWIND. Just press the single arrow to PLAY.
If you don’t hear anything when you press PLAY, be sure you have speakers or headphones plugged in! When you have the recording, just click on File at the top of the Sound Recorder window and choose Save or Save As. Then give your file a name and tell your computer where to save it, such as on your desktop.
Good luck! We can’t wait to hear the kids’ musical creations!
