I am trying to record audio right into the software but I can't get past the "RECORD" button. I click on it and the page loads about 75% and freezes...every. single. time. How do I fix this issue?

Hi,
if you are making a scribe first and then trying to add a voiceover while playing back the scribe,  maybe there is a problem with your scribe causing low memory issues: TIPS to avoid crashes, freezes, failure to render or erratic behavior (2015)

You could try this:
1) save and close the scribe
2) restart videoscribe and
3) try recording audio with nothing open but an empty new scribe.

you could also try recording your voiceover mp3 in another program such as audacity.
