Could someone help me with sound related properties (MacOS 9.1):<br>
I want to record some voice to a file and then play it.<br>
This is what I have so far:<br>
<br>
record sound file x<br>
stop recording<br>
start player 1<br>
<br>
but the playback sounds very funny. I know I may have to set some<br>
recording/playback properties but I know nothing about sound in
general.<br>
Also, can I record to a variable instead of file?<br>
I wish the archive had a search engine...<br>

Seems to work fine here now in 2.4.3. It's a major hack internally,
though, because of bugs in QT recording (we have to always record CD
quality to a QT movie and then use a conversion function to output the
type of file requested).<br>

Be sure you're recording to a format that "play audioClip"
understands, which mostly rules out all of the compressed formats QT
can produce. If you must play those, use "play videoClip
<file>" instead. That uses QT, which although much slower
and more memory intensive can play many more formats than the default
play command which uses low-level sound routines in Win32 and MacOS
which don't support compression.</font><br>
