Recording sounds -- delay in starting?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Peter,

Two things. have you set the recordFormat to "wave"? You are  
recording into a wav file, but I don't see a command to set the  
recordFormat to wave.

You could try to fiddle with the recordRate, recordSampleSize and  
recordCompression. My guess is that setting the recordCompression to  
raw and the recordSampleSize to a small number will cause the  
smallest delay.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
