I hate it when I can't record (fix it?)
I'm not sure if this is everybody or not, I can't record anything properly - It's always sped up, which kills the entire point of recording. I wrote a whole script, and now I only have 2 or 3 days to finish my project. This is for school, and I feel like punching something now. I could have used the 'subtitles' and start the project right away, but I thought I'd be recording etc. I really am angry, but I don't know why this happens.
INFO
Operating System: Windows Vista
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2(Which is horrible, and my laptop glitches...)
Scratch 1.4
Computer: HP(Hewlett Packard)
Notes: This happens with my computer too. My laptop glitches but is not the reason, since my computer does the 'speed up' too. I tried 'un-compressing' the sounds, failed. This is due soon, and I'll get a horrible mark(sorry for complaining...But the heat bothers me, and makes me act angrier).

Were you using the Scratch Recorder directly?
If you have Windows go to Start > All programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder

Well, it's always possible to record your sounds in another program and then import. I'm afraid that if it's your computer mostly, there's no way to fix that.
*sigh* This will be a problem...I can't do that because Audacity can't save as an .mp3 directly, and that'd still like a long time + Too much memory used + It might not share onto the site, which I need to do. I don't think it's my laptop, since the microphone works wonderfully on every other program.

Yes, I can't use anything else though. I can't find the sound recorder anyway.....

Hmm... Audacity should be able to save an mp3 if you have the lame (mp3) encoder installed. No, it's not lame as in bad - that's what it's called. 
You could also try recording on another computer at school, and then email the sound files to yourself or use a thumb drive...
