record sound problems

[Dan Soneson]

I am using Mac OSX 10.2.5,  Rev 1.1.1 AND have tried the new sound 
routines in Rev 2.0r2.

Has anyone found the solution to the recording problems that surface in 
standalone app on
OSX? The sound recording works just fine within Revolution, but it 
seems no matter what compression
scheme, sample size etc. I try, when I have made a standalone the kind 
of recording I get
is a truncated file with an occasional repeat. It is like the symptom 
described about a year ago
where you might say "1..2..3..4..5" and the file that is generated 
sounds like "3..4..5..1"

While looking through the archives there were several suggestions, from 
recommending QT Pro to
recording everything at best quality and then compressing afterward. I 
have tried several compression
schemes, from IMA4 to Qualcomm voice to None, but the problem still 
persists. I am trying to build a
voice recorder for foreign language learning, but I am not able to rely 
on an accurate recording.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan Soneson
