Remember Sound Recorder? This retro audio program, bundled with Windows in the 90s, was a surprising creative playground for kids and adults alike. In this video, I explore how Sound Recorder shaped the love of digital audio for a generation of kids, the quirky ‘hacks’ we used to emulate multitrack recordings, and its fascinating limitations. If you ever played with Sound Recorder, you’ll love this trip down memory lane, with plenty of nostalgic tech demos!
