Audio recording, chipmunk voice and stuttering?!

Question

Hi all, I use the Elgato Game Capture HD with my MacBook Pro to record gaming videos. I use a standard USB headset with a mic to record live commentary over the top, this setup has always worked fine for me, until yesterday.
After recording my video, when I started editing it, I realised that in recording, the audio had caused my voice to go extremely high pitched, stutter and therefore out of sync with the video and then after about 5 minutes it just completely cut off.
I thought at first this was a problem with the mic, so I used my more professional mic which is a Zoom Handy Recorder H2 and plugged it in via USB. Same problem. So then I thought, it must be the Elgato recording software. Tried using Audacity to record some audio, it was fine once and then same problems. Which makes me think it's something to do with my MacBook?!
If anyone's had a similar problem or would even know how I would start to tackle this issue, i'd be incredibly grateful!
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I have a 5c, and here is how I was able to trim a test recording:
1. Open the recording file in Voice Memos.
2. Tap "Edit" at the bottom. It's between the arrow-up symbol and trash can.
3. On the right side, near the bottom-right corner you'll see a blue box with a round blue dot at the top-left corner of it, and another one at the bottom-right. This is the Trim button. Tap it.
4. You should now see the recording with the "wavelengths", a vertical blue line (with a blue dot at top and bottom), and on each side a red line (also with red dot at top/bottom).
5. Touch the left red line and you'll notice you can touch/drag it to the beginning point of your desired portion of the recording.
6. Touch the right red line and touch/drag it for the recording's end point.
7. Hit the Play button to play just the trimmed portion, making sure it's what you want.
8. Once it's what you want, touch "Trim". Up pops "Trim Original" or "Save as New Recording".
On emailing it, go to the trimmed copy and click the arrow-up symbol, which will allow you to either message or email it.
EDIT: I found you can name your recording file to what you want by tapping the default name of it. A cursor will appear where then you can delete and retype a custom file name. Great for emailing so you recipients will know what it is by looking at it.
