Why the monkey paws?? – Talking Monkey Review

I haven't used this in a while but something happens now that didn't happen before. Every time I have even the shortest pause, the pause becomes about 5-8 seconds of silence upon playback. I was singing Happy Birthday and there were 5 seconds of dead air between lines. It took me about 15 tries to sing it all the way through without pausing or breathing between lines before I could get a video without dead air. Tried on both iPad 2 and iPhone 6 Plus.
