I've got a button the user tap to start recording and tap again to stop. When it stop I want the recorded voice 'echo' back so the user can hear what was recorded. This works fine the first time. If I hit the button for the third time, it starts a new recording and when I hit stop it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS.

if(recording)

Checking the debugger, it flags the error here
@synthesize aPlayer, recorder;
This is the part I don't understand. I thought it may have something to do with releasing memory but I've been careful. Have I missed something?
