Record Sound Not Working on Simulator or Device

Below is a snippet of code from my app. Most of which was taken directly from Kitchen Sink. I have tried multiple different solutions but nothing seems to be working. It does not work on the Simulator or a Device. What am I missing. The Kitchen Sink does not on Simulator or Device as well.

I need to take the audio and save it to file for later use. Please tell me what I am missing.

Thank you
