Rand,
My experience was similar with regard to choosing a mic input. I just
decided to always use the default input and set the input using the
system prefs rather than Rev.
I put together a "sandbox" stack that allows me to play with all the
recording settings. If you want to look at it enter into your message
box:
go stack url "http://revolution.byu.edu/stacksRecordingToolbox.rev";
Warning: this was written on my OS X box and uses some shell calls,
so if you want to try it on windows, you'll have to change or comment
those out.
Some of it's a little rough, but it might help you figure some things
out.

Well, I've had some interesting experiences recording sound into
Revolution
(Studio 2.7.2). Here's what I've found:
1. If I set the inputsource to "dflt" on my g4 powerbook, and try
to record,
I get audio files that sounds like pigs on acid. I'm sure my
students would
find this entertaining, but not exactly what I want to do. The only
working
choice on the Mac (Tiger) seems to be "imic" Nothing else works,
either
producing silence or the above stated porcophony. And I have to
choose imic
regardless of whether I'm using the internal or a plug-in mike. But
this
only works if I go to the System Preferences Sound settings, and
_there_
change the input source to either internal or external. That
setting seems
to override anything in RunRev.
2. When I take my file over to my Dell 5100 running latest Windows,
the only
setting that works is "dflt" I don't think this dell has a built-in
mike,
and have been recording with an external. That works fine, as long as
inputsource is "dflt" Using "imic" or "emic" doesn't seem to work.
I haven't
looked at the Windows system pref to see if there might be any
variables
there to play with. Too many variables in the world.
Please let me know if you've written up some notes on these sorts of
things, or even could point me to a well-coded stack. Thanks so much.
