My cheap and primitive way was to use two pc,s if you already have them, and record two mono tracks, then use mixing software to align them and blend them. There is plenty of such software available on debian and the quality is within the guidelines of your mic quality, placement, echo/background noise. I use headphones for the backing track and rarely use a second mic for guitar then blend the two. As I have been away from home and haven't done it for a while don't ask me for names of packages.

It might be also PCI card but you said you have a notebook. You plug them to the pc and you get two separate mic inputs. Now use some utility like jack (I haven't played with it for years) or something else to assign the inputs to L/R line in or perhaps Audacity offers a mapping of input to output as well. Consider the data volume - perhaps USB 3 will give you better results. regards

I started with one microphone: I bought an external USB audio card and plugged into the USB port of my computer. Then I plugged the microphone into the `mic' input of the card and started Audacity. From the main menu, I selected the `USB PnP Sound Device' as recording device, pressed the red button, spoke into the mic but no sound is recorded: not even the usual wave forms are shown. Neither with socks nor arecord can I record my voice from that USB card. Any idea...? Thanks, Rodolfo

Any > idea...? Audacity is doing what you told it to do -- record from the USB audio interface device. Plug your microphone into that. It looks like Audacity can record all the input channels from one device, but not multiple channels from multiple devices (e.g. built-in sound card plus USB audio interface): http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Multichannel%5FRecording David

My bad -- I mis-read your post and thought you plugged the microphone into your laptop. What is the make and model of your USB audio interface? Does it have Linux support? Does the device appear under whatever audio mixer applet you have on your desktop? Is it unmuted? Is the gain turned up? David

L'octidi 18 thermidor, an CCXXV, Rodolfo Medina a écrit : > Please, could you explain that? Suppose I have two usb audio cards, one for > each microphone. Will they be plugged together into the usb port of the PC? You would need a hammer. Better plug them in two different USB ports. But that may not work correctly. Two different audio controllers will have clocks running at slightly different speed. It may not be much, but it accumulates over time. IIRC (I did the test once) the difference could be 10^-4. That may sound like not much, but after half an hour of recording that makes a tenth of second difference, and that is way beyond unacceptable for your use. Regards, -- Nicolas George

That can work. Make sure you understand phantom power and how you plan to connect everything before making a purchase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_power (If you feed phantom power to a device that is not designed to use it or withstand it, you can get degraded performance and/or destroy equipment.)

If you do that you'll be recording at most 2 channels, which means you have to decide how to mix the more than 2 mics' signals into a stereo image at the venue. That can be difficult to do, if you can't hear the incoming sounds (eg in headphones) clearly, because of background noise, and the decision you make then is what you're stuck with later on. If you can possibly afford a multi-channel audio interface, do that instead. Then the mics etc are connected to that external box, which if needed powers the mics, amplifies their signals, digitises the analogue signals, then sends the digital info via USB (usually) to the computer. You can then fiddle with the balance and everything else later on using software, and experiment with different settings. > Make sure you understand phantom power and how you plan > to connect everything before making a purchase: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_power > > (If you feed phantom power to a device that is not designed to use it or > withstand it, you can get degraded performance and/or destroy equipment.) Yes; you can also destroy a mic by plugging it into a socket on a mixer while the phantom power is on; you need to make sure that phantom is only turned on after all the cables are connected. And turn phantom off again before unplugging any powered mics. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

Why only two...? Suppose the mixer has 3 channels, can't I plug three mics into it..? Say two for the piano and the third for the voice...?

You described connecting the mixer to your computer's line-in port. The line-in is stereo ie 2 channels. So, yes, you can connect more than 2 mics to a mixer, but then use the mixer to mix/merge those signals into just two which you send to the computer. It mean the decisions on how to do that mix have to be made at the time of the recording... which is not easy if there's background noise, or hardly any time to do it, or you are listening on headphones whereas later on you could also listen on speakers... A multi-channel USB audio interface lets you record all the signals at the time, then do the mixing and experiments later. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

Finding one with good Linux support will require research. Please post if you find a hardware/software combination that is known to work. David

If your hardware supports it, also a headphone jack can often be turned into a microphone jack: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/turn-headphone-jack-microphone-jack-ubuntu (Conversely, turn a mic jack into a (mono) headphone jack: https://askubuntu.com/questions/27804/using-microphone-input-port-as-headphone-output ) :)
