Hi Josh, You're correct; the announced shortcut of Command-Control-Option-N doesn't work -- probably a conflict with VoiceOver's shortcut for finding the next auto web spot. I told you I had to look this up in the File menu, since I usually record with Amadeus Pro. Just open the new audio session from the file menu of QuickTime Player.
