Harddisc-recording At 8 Khz On Imac??? Options

[Carlos Schnieder...]

Hello everyone,

I urgently need help with my iMac 400 DV SE: I'd like to record speech with a normal mic (and a PlainTalk Converter) on my iMac 400 DV SE at 8 kHz but every software I use (Cubase, SoundStudio, Peak...) says that I can't record at this sample rate.

To record at a higher rate and to sample it down afterwards is no solution because of insufficient quality compared to directly recording at 8 kHz.

Neither recording at 8 kHz with e.g. CoolEdit using VPC (and using the same inbuilt A/D converter!!) is a working solution because there are skips while recording.

I'd be very happy to solve this problem soon

PS: I need the files at this low rate for telecommunication services
