Record and stream audio seamlessly with Real Microphone Pro. App of the week

Since even the most basic of telephones include a microphone out of necessity, it is expected that many of us want to take advantage of it and use it to record audio through applications Unfortunately, those of us who use Windows Phone know that the voice recording utility that comes with the system, integrated into OneNote, is very limited , lacking basic options such as adjusting the volume, or choosing the audio quality.

The good thing is that there are developers who have gotten down to work to create apps that better fulfill this function.One of the ones that stands out the most in this regard is Real Microphone Pro, a spectacular tool full of options to record audio clearly and crystal clear, eliminating most of the complications that the environment can impose on us.

Among the functions it includes is the adjust the quality of the recording up to 44100 Hz (increasing the size of the resulting file) . It also allows remove background noise, using a customizable volume threshold as a parameter and hiding all noise below it. "

The app gives us the option to connect it to speakers or audio equipment in order to use it as if it were a real amplifier microphone (honoring its name), choosing whether to record the audio or not. To that end, it includes an audio amplification option called volume overdrive, which also works when recording using just the phone (without connecting to external equipment)."

Once we've recorded what we're interested in, the content of the file is displayed visually in audio waveform format. There we can listen to it to check the result, select certain segments and trim them, or skip to listen to a particular section. And once they agree, we are allowed to export the audio via email, or save it to an MP3 file The only problem the app has here is that the file size each recording is limited to 20 minutes, so trying to record audio longer than that will break it into several sections (without ever losing any information).

Lastly, Real Microphone is able to continue working under the lock screen, saving us some battery life in the recording process ( which is energy intensive anyway).This is unlike OneNote's voice recording, which forces us to have the screen on at all times, with the consequences that we can already imagine.

Real Microphone Pro has support for all versions of Windows Phone (including 7.5) and costs $0.99 in the store , a very convenient price for everything it offers. Even so, if we are not sure about paying we can use a free trial that omits some functions.
