SoundBits Recorder is an open-source audio recorder that can merge two audio samples into one and save it to an MP3 file.

This is useful to merge audio from an input device (e.g., a microphone) with an output device (e.g., the sound being played).

For example, this software can be used to record audio from online meetings, saving what the user is speaking on their mic and what they're hearing from others, or to sing along a background recording.

This software is officially tested and supported on Windows 10. (It may work on Windows 7 or 8, but I have not tested and cannot guarantee it.)

Just open the project on Visual Studio 2019 and build it normally.

If you want to build a new version, the Assembly version must be updated accordingly (on Visual Studio, go to Project -> SoundBits Recorder properties, and click on "Assembly Information...".

The build date is captured automatically into the file Properties/BuildDate.txt and is displayed in the About window, together with the Version.

This software uses AutomaticUpdater.NET to automatically detect and download new versions. Currently, the AutoUpdater is pointed to the installation packages I distribute on my website.

If you want to distribute your our builds, you need to upload an installation package and an updated copy of updates/SoundBitsRecorder.xml on your own website. Then, update the AutoUpdater URL in the constructor of the RecordingWindow.

This software uses the NAudio package to capture audio and the LAME MP3 Encoder to write MP3 files.

Coming soon...

Please feel free to submit Pull Requests with suggested improvements. I would appreciate if any suggestion is properly tested and documented following the documentation format of the existing classes.

If you would like to provide a new translation, feel free to only submit a translated copy of Properties/Resources.resx, which I can then add to the application.
