#### Components
The Sound Recorder application is a free, and easy to use audio recording app for Android. It's also AD free and provides high quality recordings without limits of time.
It can be use as a regular dicta-phone for recording voice, memos and notes, lectures, speeches, music or anything else. 

#### Proposal
It's an amazing app very easy to use, but when recording there is no option to PAUSE and RESUME the only option was to START and STOP the recording. Consider a scenario that you are recording a person's speech but suddenly he wants to go to the comfort room and you would like to pause the recording and resume it again when he's back. This will make another file and recording back again. So my suggestion would be to add an option to PAUSE and RESUME the recording. The app would be more awesome if it will have the ability to be pause and resume the recording.

#### Mockups / Examples
So there will be an additional option that will pause and resume the recording and it will be placed besides the stop button.

#### Benefits
