RE: Sound recording beta bug?

2001-06-12 Thread Monte Goulding

Or even better create two folders in your MetaCard folder. Stable and
Latest. Then just put the 2.4 engine and tools in the latest folder and move
the 2.3.2 engine and tools into the stable folder. You can now use the same
Home and Help stacks for different versions.


 You need to put the Mac 2.4 files in with your 2.3.2 files.  They will
 replace the current files of the same name.  So, be careful when doing
 this as you will delete your mctools stack as well as your engines from
 2.3.2.  Make backups if you need them later.  This will make 2.4 work on
 your Mac with all the development tools of 2.3.2.

 Hi everyone.
 
 I am currently playing around with the 2.4 beta, and have a couple of
 questions regarding sound recording and unusual behaviour.
 
 I have been using Tuvias recordsound example stack to record sounds
 with several settings (including the default settings), but when I
 play back the sounds using the QuickTime Player or Windows Media
 Player (for the formats it can play), the sound is played back at
 what seems roughly half speed.
 
 Using the play c:\sample command to play back the recorded sound
 from within MetaCard is even worse - harsh squeels are emitted from
 the speaker.
 
 Has anyone else had this sort of behaviour from the beta, and can
 anyone suggest a work around? eg., an external equivalent with some
 example 'how to use this' code? (Macintosh or Windows).

Don't know about recording sound but you can use the same development
environment with the appropriate engine for all platforms. That is, if
you have the home, tools and help stacks for windows transfer them over
to the mac and use them. You might want to change type/creator to MST
MICR.

 
 Thanks,

Hmmm...  I tried that but get an error:
Warning: tools stack versiob (2.4B1) does not match engine version 
(2.3), and typing in record mysound in the message box returns no 
permission to send that, group: bad object type, go: error in 
background expression, and move: bad end point expression :-(

Has anyone managed to get the recordsound stack or the record command 
to work on a Macintosh, and if so, would they be willing to share 
their experience? eg., it just worked or here are the 8 steps I 
needed to use :-)

Has anyone managed to get the Windows side working correctly too? 
ie., without the play command making screeches instead of playing the 
sound back, and without Quicktime player/Windows media player playing 
the sounds back at half speed. That might tell me whether I should be 
playing with sound recording on another PC or not :-)

Cheers,
Mark

Well that's the answer. You have replaced the tools stack but not the
engine.

Sound recording beta bug?

2001-06-11 Thread Mark

Hi everyone.

I am currently playing around with the 2.4 beta, and have a couple of 
questions regarding sound recording and unusual behaviour.

I have been using Tuvias recordsound example stack to record sounds 
with several settings (including the default settings), but when I 
play back the sounds using the QuickTime Player or Windows Media 
Player (for the formats it can play), the sound is played back at 
what seems roughly half speed.

Using the play c:\sample command to play back the recorded sound 
from within MetaCard is even worse - harsh squeels are emitted from 
the speaker.

Has anyone else had this sort of behaviour from the beta, and can 
anyone suggest a work around? eg., an external equivalent with some 
example 'how to use this' code? (Macintosh or Windows).

I am really wanting to test this all on a Macintosh too, but there 
does not seem to be a Macintosh beta version - only the engines are 
in the ftp.metacard.com :2.4 :macos.sit file for some reason, not the 
development environment (am I looking in the wrong place?).


Thanks,
Mark
