Thanks for the image file. I've stopped adding more and more features and stuff recently, and I'm going back trying to fix up all the little things that I never get around to doing. So improving that splash will be one if them. 

yeah that recording is rough  isn't it. It is not a straight out Mac issue, because it works nicely on my Mac mini. I'm sure it is hardware related.  But I am just not confident enough to point the finger at any one thing.  But I would not be surprised if a USB mic on the same Mac would give better quality. Actually come to think of it, I use a blue yeti USB mic on my Mac mini. 

You might try toggling the echo suppression and loop back fields on the recorder settings tab. There is also a hardware acceleration check on the flash settings dialog when you right click the recorder. Do any of those improve things? 

If I could reproduce the problem myself I wouldn't have to guess. Sorry.

I just tried it on my Mac mini by plugging in my iPhone headset earphones to the audio out jack (Mac mini has no mic in jack, only line in, that's different). Recording was fine. Things got weird though if the "rate" setting was not 44, I sounded chipmunk'ed.

Hello Justine, 

Just to report that we continue to esperience problems on two of our students' MACs. They use Skype on their computers with no problems at all but when it comes to audio recording through Poodll, the result is as I have posted above. 

I have also been unable to find a setting for video recording with an acceptable quality. 

Have a good day!

Can you send me, by email, a student login, and the url of a video and audio activity on your site that I can test with?

When you have these problems recording with Macs, could you take down a little information for me? In particular the Mac OS version, the flash player version and the browser type and version? 

Also it would be helpful to know which recorder you are using when you get these problems ... the PoodLL mp3 recorder or the standard PoodLL audio recorder. Does one or the other give different results?

 

Thanks

I can report a good-quality recording using Safari on the same Mac (the above) where we had a very low-quality recording using Chrome.
