i utilized WinDbg for record and ~~playback~~ replay "r&r" and found it impractical for lengthy runs as it slows considerably . may i inquire does another such tool exist .
[update 7/18/2023]
it appears some elaboration is required . by r&r it is meant to log calls and arguments passed to an api for future identical execution for purpose of reproducing error .

What I have tried:

searched web found no other such tool .

Your question is very confusing - record and playback points to sound, music, video etc. WinDbg is a debugger that can be used to analyze crash dumps, debug live user-mode and kernel-mode code, and examine CPU registers and memory.

Is this what you are referring to?

Not confusing at all. I think he is referring to Time Travel Debugging.

A standard library is FFmpeg which is also good documented. Start with visiting the ffmpeg Startpage.

When you only need some software than Audacity may be an interesting tool.

What I could find were -
1) Intel PIN -

Quote:
Pin" is a dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI) tool that allows you to instrument and analyze the execution of programs on x86 and x86-64 systems. It provides an API for creating tools that can perform various tasks, including recording and replaying program execution.

. Documentation can be found at - Pin - A Dynamic Binary Instrumentation Tool [^]

2) MS Detours -

Quote:
Detours is a software package for monitoring and instrumenting API calls on Windows.

. It can be found on GitHub at - Microsoft Research Detours Package [^]

I have not used any of these so I cannot comment on it's performance versus what you currently use (WinDBG), hope it points you in the right direction though.
