Homegrown Sounds has released HGS WAV Recorder, a simple free VST plug-in for Windows that performs a single role, recording the incoming signal directly to a WAV File. It can be used either in an insert or as a send effect. The sound output can either be direct through, muted or the recorded signal to ensure maximum flexibility. It is a useful plug-in for recording spontaneous improvisations, or providing realtime record functionality in hosts which do not support this directly.

Each WAV is named by the date/time the recording was started so there is no danger of recording over any existing wavs and all are sorted by date. The recording folder is configurable via a text file which can be directly opened via the plug-in at any time in notepad or similar. After changing the path, clicking on update will create the new directory (if needed) and the next wav will be recorded in that location.

Features:

• 16-/24-/32-Bit Support.
• Records at Host Project's Sample Rate.
• Mono, Stereo and Sum Output Modes.
• Monitor Switch.
• Bypass - Disables Sound output for silent recording.
• Record Level.
• Record Level Indicators.
• Open Last Recording Button.
• Configurable Storage Directory - Open cfg file to change path, then click update to update the path.
• Open Recording Directory in Windows Explorer.
• Default - Sets to the plug-ins default parameters.

WAV Recorder is free, but donations are appreciated if you find the plug-in useful.
