Description
Sound and voice recorder for Android, uses RAW microphone data to capture every sound and records in lossless format (PCM WAV). Records stereo audio - listen with headphones and feel surrounded by the sound.
Features: • record in PCM WAV (lossless), or M4A (compressed - small file size) • raw MIC data (captures all sound) • also recording with screen OFF • stereo MIC (if device has 2 MICs) • select the Audio Source (UNPROCESSED / CAMCORDER / MIC / DEFAULT) • sample rate 8kHz to 192kHz (older devices may not support all the sample rates) • bits per sample selection 16-bit (high quality) / 8-bit (record files to use in some embedded systems) • ajustable gain 0 to 60 dB or automatic (look-ahead AGC) • AGC processing step selection 10ms to 500ms • AGC measured amplitude averaging factor A_avg 0 = max. amplitude, 1 = buffer average • user-configurable file name including date and time • stereo / mono channel selection • option to swap left / right channels • left / right channel balance +/- 10 dB • keep screen ON - option so that device does not enter sleep mode • disable ringing and vibration while recording - option so that the recording does not get ruined by the phone ring or vibration • in-app audio player (listen to the recordings) • free, NO ADS, only limitation is recording stops after 10 min. per recording, which is more than enough for recording one song.
You have to see the magic of automatic sound level / gain control (AGC), especially if you use to record meetings / lectures. It works as follows: it amplifies the quiet sounds to capture all, but then if a loud sound happens, it gets reduced volume to not damage your ears.
Free version intended for personal, non-commercial use only.
Recent changes: • fixes some bugs; • added dB level markings on the amplitude indicators; • amplitude indicators maximum value is now +3dB instead of 0dB; • advanced recording features, accessible by long-tapping the record button in the pro version: skip silence - will record only when you speak or there is a loud sound above a configurable threshold; clap to start - you can use on more devices, then you simply clap and they all start recording at the same time (synchronized).

★★★★★Joe Esposito· Aug 12, 2022
Sound Recorder PCM is soooo good especially for lav mic recording + it records with the screen off + it exports to .wav + its completely raw and does not have any noise suppression like lexis audio editor. 10/10 would recommend. I got the pro version btw the free is limited to 10 mins. But it saved me €197.60 since it only costs €2.40 and lav mic transmitters cost like €200
It used to be an excellent app, but now it severely lags and crashes all the time. I tried reinstalling it but to no avail. Still lags to the point of being unusable, it literally takes 5-7 seconds for it to react to any input. I am very disappointed

It was a good app while I had any recordings made with it. Unfortunately, this app forces a secret folder for files that doesn't get picked up by any backup software. Make sure to go through all your hundreds of files and manually copy them one by one (can't even do multiple at once) if you're using this app, or you might lose gigabytes of audio like I did. Why not make this optional? Why wouldn't I want to see my recordings with other apps? Why can't I set the folder myself?

Impossibile to find where the recorded files are, but do you test an app before publishing? Do you think is normal there isn't the recorded file straight there after recording?

No matter which microphone setting I try, it records the exact same audio on both the left and right track. I chose this app because it is supposed to record in stereo, but it doesn't do that.
