Robert,
I just re-read your post and realized my solution still couldn't address
your issue - that of sound quality. Unless... is there an earlier
version of LC where 44.1 khz stereo was supported? If so, you could
build a slave app with that.
I suppose you could use a commandline app like ffmpeg to record. I've
used ffmpeg to crop and convert media files from shell(), but never used
it to record. Should be a way to make it work - maybe open as a process
for update? Dunno.

Hi Robert,
I recently had to deal with this as part of moving a Mac-only desktop
app I maintain for a client from LC 6.x to 7.x. My solution (which
works nicely) was to create a standalone 'slave' app using LC 6.6.5
whose only job is to record sounds. This recorder app is stored in the
bundle of the main 'master' app and is launched in the background when
the master app's 'audio editor' window is opened; then is told to quit
when that window closes. While running, it receives its orders from
the main app via sockets, and sends a response upon completion of
every command. That way we know if it's alive and working.
It handles only a few commands:
startRecording
stopRecording
terminate
enableLogging -- for testing
disableLogging -- for testing
Of course to simplify things on the 'master app' side I created a
library containing the commands used by the main app to send
recognized commands to the slave app.
It's fun to see it work!
Best -

I need to record on mac os desktop machine :
-- 44100 khz, stéreo 16bit compressed aac etc. ideally mp3 to be able to
exchange these file easily via the net.
The state i'm in is ::
-- livecode 6.5 mac osX 10.7.4 (my last commercial version)
=> can only record 32000 kHz stereo 16 bit wav none compressed
-- nothing else works. And compression requires to use some external
utility
like lame (but i can't take the risk to oversee lame installation
problems
on other peoples machines and 2 out 3 friends who tried to install lame
found some issues).
-- LiveCode Community 7.1.2 / mac os x 10.7: record function just
does not
work, no file is created (same test stack as used with livecode 6.5).
-- LiveCode Community 7.1.3 / mac os x 10.7: record function just
does not
work, no file is created (same test stack as used with livecode 6.5).
is there somewhere a secret command to open up recording function???
I checked that av foundation is said to be incorporated into os X from
version 7 onwards.
thanks..
