Christine,<br><br>You need to turn the <b>soundReverb</b> preference off (IMO this should be the default).<br><br>Go to preferences search for reverb after you check it hover over the name of the preference and click on the name and then from the menu click on &quot;set automatically on startup ...&quot; this will allow you to always have it off.<br>
<br>NOTE: you have to do the &quot;set automatically on startup ...&quot;  from the home screen on startup (IMO this should be doable at any time.<br><br>Stephen<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 11:48 AM, Christine Murakami <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:cmurakami@columbusschoolforgirls.org">cmurakami@columbusschoolforgirls.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I just downloaded the newest version of Etoys and am having
trouble recording high quality sounds. I pull the sound recorder out of the
objects box, record my voice, and it sounds like I am in an echo chamber. I’ve
tried a headset mic, as well as a built-in headset and speakers, and I’ve
tried the same activity on another computer, with the same result.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a Windows 7 machine, but the other
computer I tried (unsuccessfully), was an XP computer. I haven’t tried it
on a Mac or on an XO, so I don’t know if this is a more prevalent problem.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would be most grateful for any suggestions or workarounds.
