💎 Professional Audio Features
🔊 Gain Control & Normalize
- Gain Slider: Manually boost the recording volume up to 10×.+1
- Normalize: Automatically adjusts the volume to a professional -0.5 dB peak. This feature is intelligent—it ignores background noise and only boosts actual content.+1
🔴 CLIP Indicator & Reset
If the incoming signal is too loud and risks distortion, the CLIP light will turn red.
- Studio Rule: If the CLIP light is on, consider lowering the Gain.
- Reset: Use the Reset Clip button to clear the warning after adjusting levels.
🍦 Soft-Knee Compressor (Always On)
Your recordings are protected by a studio-grade Soft-Knee compressor. Instead of harsh digital clipping, it gently “softens” loud peaks above 0.75, resulting in a smoother, more analog sound.+1
🔇 Auto-Silence Skip
Enable this to prevent recording long periods of silence.
How it works: If no audio is detected for more than 2 seconds, the app intelligently pauses data capture, saving significant disk space

- simple
- accurate
- technically reliable
It is the ideal choice wherever you need to record system audio quickly and in a controlled manner – whether as an individual or in a corporate environment.
