Sorry, just a typo, I'm using the very new version MC2.4.1 build 4 (from 17th Nov). So back to my questions... Has anyone got the recording to work on a PC? (I'm on Win2000) With what compression? and which khz? Which extension for the recorded sound? I have just tried .mov which I saw in a posting, what about .aif, .au or .wav? Does each of them correspond to a particular compression? Sorry for my ignorance. I was also wondering about trying to launch the PC built-in sound recording panel (which I usually use to record my voice on PC, but outside MetaCard), but I do not know how to launch the panel from within PC, and I was hoping MC's new recording capability would make this unnecessary (as it actually has on Mac). My aim is to let students record their own voice, listen to it and compare it to a model voice. Suggestions?
