Subject: Re: more on the recorder

[rand valentine]

 Thanks to the people who have given me information about recording sound in
Revolution on both mac and pc. The bottom line for me is that it doesn't
seem remotely work _at all_. While I was able to get something to work on my
g4 laptop initially (by using the imic input and playing with the system
settings independently), now nothing works, all I get are super, super slow
unrecognizable recordings, whether the recordinput is imic, emic or dflt. I
wonder why this is, and why such an important function is in such bad shape.
I'm using 2.7.2. For those of us who use runrev to produce language
materials, this capacity to record in the program is quite important, since
it provides a means for students to compare their pronunciations with those
of native speakers (by just recording the student and then a&b-ing the
student's sound and the native speaker's)
