How to Use Creative Media Source to Record Sounds

Creative Media Source is a music application that allows you to listen, edit and create music. Creative Media Source lets you record audio as well as save in various file formats, such as MP3, WAV and WMAs. The application has an on-board volume limiter, which will prevent microphone feedback and peaking. When recording, you have the choice of creating "dry" recordings, which don't have any effects, or creating "live" recordings by using real-time effects.
