Suggestion: Missing Audio Feature

J

Jim Doria

I've been loving OneNotes audio recording feature recently, but I
think the program lacks one crucial element that should be presentin
any application that records audio.

LEVEL METERS!

Or maybe just "meter" as it doesn't have to be stereo, but given the
quirks present in the audio recording process, especially on laptops,
not knowing your audio levels makes recording a crapshoot.

What if the mic is not plugged in and all you are recording is
silence? Or your esternal mic has come loose and your laptop's mic is
only recording the sound of your typing? What if your mic is partially
plugged it and all you're recording is a loud hum? (All these have
happened to me, sad to say.)

A level meter would show you these problems instantly, and would also
bring great piece of mind if you could look at it during that once in
a lifetime lecture/meeting/marriage proposal and be sure that OneNote
was actually recording what you were hearing.

Could this be added after the fact as an add in?
