Recording Sound on the Mac

[Sivakatirswami]

ahh, my goof was simple:

set the recordFormat to "mp4a"

is simply wrong.

setting that to "aiff" no compression ("raw") is fine for initial  
recording...

thanks
======

  set the recordRate to 22.050 --the uSampleRate of me
   set the recordChannels to 1 --the uRecordChannels of me
   set the recordSamplesize to 16 --the uSampleSize of me
   set the recordFormat to "aiff" --the uRecordFormat of me

==== the above works fine... in fact the quality is amazing with my  
Telex US B Audio Device Headset.

and FYI

set the recordCompression to "mp4a" simply does not work... though it  
is on the list or returned compression types.. if you run

put the recordcompressiontypes  in the msg box... it appears, but it  
does not appear in the list from the "answer record" dialog... if you  
do set this, no sound file is saved at all. So, confirmed saving as  
mp4 from Rev is not an option.
