Re: usb audio interface recommendation
I have used Behringer audio interfaces with Linux for some years now and they always seem to be a good reliable bet for this.On a basic level, the U-CONTROL UCA-222 is a great simple little 2 in 2 out box that retails for about £20.I've also got the UMC1820 (if you want more functionality) and the little 2 in 2 out version of it (think it's the 202) that both perform well in Linux.I use both Audacity and Ardour, and have used Qtractor.Ardour does work on a multichannel basis with the UMC1820.You really need to get to grips with Jack for more serious audio work though
