My idea is to be able to do this with a low budget, everything you would need would be the usb interface (most older computers don't have firewire) and probably some kind of storage device to get the data home or to some other place or even to record to it directly. The interface could be used at home as well. The storage device could be an external usb disc or cd-r, dvd-r, whatever. No need for a laptop, a hardware recorder or anything, just cheap stuff you can use at home as well. The result isn't going to be a high quality recording anyway, because the location is likely not a studio or anything, but it would allow to just pack the stuff into a small backpack and record something at any place with a computer, using linux ;) Currently I wonder which audio interface would fit best. It would need to be usb and work well with the linux distro out of the box and jack, which, I think, is probably a bit problematic. Any advice on that? I'm willing to try all that stuff. regards Philipp
