Talking about recording sound on a Mac, presumably using the record
sound file command in Rev?  Jean-Luc wrote:

Can someone explain this to me?  The rev 'record sound file' really
needs the 'pro' version of QT?  Although I don't have this, it seems to
work OK as long as I use 'with dialog' and under OS9 only (not OSX,
which has a bug apparently, causing separate channels to record at
different levels).  I'm trying to decide if I need to invest in QTPRO
now!
